We were all foolish teenagers at one point. I know I was. But how can a 28 year old bartender (who's supposed to be responsible for his patrons and NOT serve alcohol at all to the under-aged DO this?!)
I'm speechless...

Barman tried over fatal tequila

A Berlin barman has gone on trial accused of having served a 16-year-old boy 45 tequila shots, which killed him.
The barman is charged with having "fatally injured" the boy in his bar in February 2007. The barman has admitted responsibility, German media report.
The 28-year-old barman, identified only as Aytac G, allegedly had a drinking bet with the schoolboy, but poured mostly water for himself.
The boy fell into a coma with alcohol poisoning, and died four weeks later.
The case triggered outrage in Germany and a heated debate about binge drinking by teenagers.
Two men aged 18 and 21, who encouraged the 16-year-old to down the tequilas, were sentenced in November to complete a compulsory social training course.
Prosecutors accuse the barman of having also served alcohol illegally to youths on 173 occasions in 2005-2007.

So oily and GOOD!
Another street favorite: Minced pork and rice (forgot how to say it in Chinese)
So simple, so heavenly!
Though not typically Taiwanese, I had to take a pic of this Shanghainese dish - pigs ears!
I couldn't touch this (although I'm sure it's yummy) cuz I kept picturing the 10 or so pigs head without ears!
Was hunting for breakfast places one early morning. Couldn't find any ,then saw a long line inside 7-11. That's when I discovered the breakfast of champions - Fan Tuan!
If I ever lose my job in entertainment, at least I know I can do this!
(Though the customers will probably not get any chance at them yummy sausages!)
AND THEN, there are buildings:

Nice - outside 101
I chanced upon this alley wandering round Danshui. My friend who's a producer saw the pic, loved it, now they're shooting a commercial using that as the location. So I guess I'm the location manager *pat on back*.
