Qingqing: Huahua, did you know that there are many interesting tourist factories in Taiwan?
Huahua: I often see people sharing photos of their visits to tourist factories on social media, and some of them are indeed very beautiful.
Qingqing: They’re not just beautiful; as the name suggests, tourist factories are places where you can both sightsee and see how things are made.
Huahua: I visited one that makes pencils last time and learned how pencils are made. They even had many historical photos and old items inside, which was very interesting.
Qingqing: Did you sign up for any hands-on workshops?
Huahua: Yes, we created designs on the pencils to make them uniquely ours.
Qingqing: That’s what makes tourist factories appealing—they’re fun for both adults and kids.

When Daisy receives a call, she translates the scammers’ spoken words into text and then responds to them accordingly through a text-to-speech system. Remarkably, Daisy
Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Emma had reviewed 41 resumes that morning. While the ATS screened out 288 unqualified, she screened for AI slop. She could spot it a mile away. She muttered AI buzzwords like curses under her breath. “Team player.” “Results-driven.” “Stakeholder alignment.” “Leveraging core competencies.” Each resume reeked of AI modeling: a cemetery of cliches, tombstones of personality. AI wasn’t just changing hiring. It was draining the humanity from it. Then she found it: a plain PDF cover letter. No template. No design flourishes. The first line read: “I once tried to automate my
Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis.
