Night markets, unfortunately, are full of meaty things. But they look fabulous.

Talking #water in Hsinchu: the biggest reservoir and cleanest stream here in the mid-north of #Taiwan is connected with the Science Park. It serves the #semiconductor industry. A bit is for agricu…

Taboo in the clean room: workers in #semiconductor fabs, e.g. TSMC in #Taiwan, face high mental pressure. They cannot eat pizza – it’s too similar to the form of an IC waver. 😬
I will continue dropping these insights, here from clinical psychology. Unions are banned, btw., so better med…

Back in #Taiwan, ready for a cracker tour through the wee #semiconductor industry with our interational “Silicon Urbanism” research group.
