The corn soups at Taiwan's McDonald's and KFC are truly a favorite of mine. It's a creamy, slightly sweet, and savory dish that feels like a classic comfort food. It always makes me wonder why these soups aren't available at McDonald's locations in other countries, not even in Japan, which has such a strong influence on Taiwanese food culture.

[阿關甜不辣]
An Unexpected Delivery
Today, I decided to order some of Taiwan’s famous Tian Bu La from a local shop. The dish is similar to Singapore’s Yong Tau Hu, and I was excited to try it. I placed my order through Uber Eats, and the delivery driver was incredibly fast—my meal arrived in a flash!
Unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived. As I began to eat, I discovered a short hair in my food. Since I wasn't able to leave a Google review, I wanted to share my experience here on my blog. This isn't the first time I've encountered this, and it's a frustrating situation.
I'm praying for all food vendors to be more diligent in maintaining hygiene and cleanliness for their customers. May God watch over them and guide them to be more careful. Amen.
One month in Taiwan
I have been in Taiwan for one week now, with three more to go, and it's already been a sweet prelude to my return to Italy for nine months. This long holiday is a wonderful chance to fully immerse myself in the local culture.
So far, it has been challenging to connect with other believers. Finding Christian contacts here has felt almost impossible, but I am trusting God to guide my path.
Despite this challenge, I am constantly reminded of God's grace. I am thankful for the stunning sunsets I see each evening, a beautiful reminder of His creation. I am also grateful for the daily forgiveness and renewal He offers.
My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will bless the people I meet in this bustling city, opening their hearts to know Christ Jesus, our one and only Savior.
