    Southern Taiwan told to prepare as Typhoon Bavi approaches

    Bavi is forecast to pass near northeastern Taiwan before moving into waters north of the island. However, its large circulation was expected to bring wind and rain well beyond the storm’s projected path. CWA Forecast Center Director Lin Po-tung (林伯東) said rain would intensify in mountain areas as the storm approached.

    Southern mountain districts could experience localized heavy rain, while stronger winds were expected in exposed coastal areas, including Tainan and the Hengchun Peninsula (恆春半島).

    OPINION: A Singaporean Reads Yang Shuangzi’s “Taiwan Travelogue”

    The most moving part of the novel is not actually history itself, but how this displacement seeps into everyday life: hotels, railways, cities, food, even ambiguous same-sex relationships. Colonialism is not just an abstract macro-political structure, but a rewriting of subtle modes of perception. Who gets to see, who gets to name, whose language gets written into menus and maps—these details constitute the true technology of colonialism.

    Banned preservative found in Kaohsiung noodles, including products from repeat offender

    UDN reports that three samples contained benzoic acid, a preservative that is not permitted in fresh noodle products under Taiwan’s food-additive rules. Two of the failed samples came from Kaohsiung. One was purchased at Fengshan First Public Market, also known as Bingzai Market. The other came from a manufacturer near Shiquan Market and contained 3.26 grams of benzoic acid per kilogram, the highest level found in the survey. A third sample from Pingtung’s East Market contained the same banned preservative.
