A new parking guidance and car search system recently installed at the P1 and P2 parking lots of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport’s Terminal 1 can help drivers quickly find available parking spots and locate their parked cars simply by entering their license plate number.
Both P1 and P2 are outdoor parking lots, with a total of 1,730 parking spots. The Taoyuan International Airport Corp has installed signs at the entrance of each parking area inside the parking lots, displaying the number of available parking spots remaining, allowing drivers to instantly know which direction to go to find parking spots without unecessarily wasting time.
In addition, the parking lots have an automatic license plate number recognition system. Drivers do not have to press a button and take a ticket when they enter the parking lot or look for their parking ticket when leaving. Neither do they have to worry about losing their parking ticket.

To make paying for parking easier, the eight paying machines at the parking lots now accept NT$1,000 and NT$500 banknotes. Drivers no longer need to change their cash into NT$100 banknotes before paying for parking. And drivers with EasyCards or iPasses can simply swipe their card at the exit as they leave.

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

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
