The Red House in Taipei is celebrating its 103rd birthday this month by inviting a lineup of 10 creative groups to participate in a joint exhibition titled “Each Year on This Day, a Birthday Toast” to showcase their works and mark the birth of the Red House. There will also be other offers, such as discounts through Facebook, quizzes with prizes, and codebreaking games. There will also be freebies available, such as restaurant coupons and limited-edition calendars.
Built in 1908, the Red House will celebrate its 103rd birthday next Monday. The Red House is collaborating with the western district creative coffee shop management group 26 Creative (aka Somebody Cafe) to hold the “Each Year on This Day, a Birthday Toast” joint exhibition. A total of 10 groups were invited to participate in an exhibition in which they exercise their ingenuity and create images of birthday wishes for the Red House. One of the groups, Foufou Design, uses the theme of baby rabbits in a newborn nursery to symbolize birth, while another group called Nong Li, a creative apparel shop, uses cherry blossoms and salmon. Salmon, which is known to swim upstream, represents swimming against the stream.
The birthday party will be held at 1pm on the second floor of the Red House Theater in Ximending next Monday. Candy Wine, winner of the Biggest Fans Award at the Ho-Hai-Yan Gongliao Rock Festival, and the Emotional Machine dance team, known for their performance at the Taipei Lantern Festival’s Public Art Exhibition, will give live performances at the party to celebrate the Red House’s 103rd birthday.

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
A situation puzzle is a game in which one person describes a scenario and asks the players to explain it. The situation is deliberately lacking in details, but the players may acquire more information by asking questions — however, these can only be answered with “yes” or “no.” A player wins by describing the approximate events that led up to the situation. To do so, they must use a blend of logical and lateral thinking. A famous example of this is sometimes known as “Turtle Soup.” Here’s the riddle: “A man in a restaurant orders turtle soup, tastes it
