License plates perfect for the cat lover in your life recently went up for auction. When the CAT plates were announced, bidding for the one reading CAT-8888 went crazy, selling in the end for NT$576,000. The series set a record at the Keelung Motor Vehicles Station for the most earned, as well as the most plates bid on in a single auction.

All of these license plates with the numbers 8888 or 6688 are considered good. But some drivers are also particular about the letters in front. The letters CAT were recently released, which just so happen to be the dream plate for cat lovers.

Member of public
I always choose 8s at the end. I’m also interested in ones with 5858.

Of the plates up for auction, the most popular was the auspicious CAT-8888. Bidding was intense, soaring to 130 individual bids before it eventually went for NT$576,000.The auction set a record for the most earned at the Keelung Motor Vehicles Station, as well as the most plates bid for. The second-highest was CAT-7777 at NT$270,000, and in third place was CAT-6666, which went for NT$206,000.

Member of public
It’s too expensive. I’m not at that level. It’s out of my league.

Member of public
It must have broken a record. It’s rare that Keelung auctions off so many high-value plates.

Other popular plates include anything with 8s at the end, or ones that sound like homophones. For instance, CAT-5168, CAT-0857, and CAT-5888 all raked in between NT$50,000 and NT$100,000 each.

Yu Nan-yung
Keelung Motor Vehicles Station deputy chief
Plates with CAT or DOG are all popular with the public. It’s because there are a lot of cat lovers around lately.

But the motor vehicles office also reminded people that whether you’re a cat or a dog person, getting yourself a valid license plate is what’s most important!

Unusual surrogacy stories go viral during reproductive rights debate

Two unusual stories regarding surrogacy have recently gone viral in Taiwan, as reproductive rights become a hot topic in Taiwan. An amendment is in the works to expand the eligibility of assisted reproduction. Current laws restrict IVF to heterosexual married couples, leaving out unmarried couples, single-parent families and same-sex couples. It remains unknown whether the new legislation will also allow for surrogacy.

- We have quadruplets! After failing in Ukraine and Colombia, we finally found surrogates in Mexico.

A gay couple made a video about their success finding two surrogate mothers in Mexico, who each gave birth to a set of twins.

- My mind went blank for 3 seconds.
The only thing I could say was. Huh?

The video was meant as heartwarming story. But not everyone saw it that way. Some accused the couple of neglecting the surrogates and others claimed that they were “buying kids for views.”

Shih Chung-liang
Minister of Health and Welfare
We respect everyone’s personal views, while respecting opinions in society and respecting everyone’s individual decisions. At this point, the matter requires more discussion to build a consensus.

Surrogacy is illegal in Taiwan. In a separate incident, an orthopedist who conceived a child through surrogacy is being slammed after filming the birth and posting it online.

The doctor says he obtained consent from the surrogate before shooting the video. He says that he doesn’t think his genes are particularly remarkable, stressing that he’s just a regular person who likes children. Though some doctors suggested running tests on the baby, he refused, saying that the prenatal checkups were normal. His critics are accusing him of making and publishing the video out of arrogance and self-importance, saying he handled the video as that of an animal giving birth.

Shen Ching-fen
Health Promotion Administration
We must respect the surrogate mother’s privacy. Even if consented to that arrangement, her human rights and autonomy are extremely important.

The incidents have captured headlines in Taiwan, as discussions on reproductive rights are resurfacing regarding assisted reproduction.

Safety course for elderly drivers teaches emergency braking, refreshes skills

Discussion about seniors on the road has reached a fever pitch recently. The Taipei City Government in response is offering a first-ever driving safety course for elderly motorists. Anyone 65 or over can sign up to get a refresher on basic driving knowledge, as well as test their sensitivity for crucial skills like emergency braking.

A five-second emergency stop over 100 meters tests not only sensitivity, but also bravery. But veteran drivers with over 40 years behind the wheel aren’t fazed—they just step on the gas, their moves as sharp as ever. They can also practice on an uneven surface to test their control over the pedal.

Mr. Wang
Course participant
You usually don’t need to brake suddenly when driving. I used to just hand my car over to the mechanic and never paid attention to its condition. How do you change the oil, anyway? How can you tell if the tires need replacing?

When 77-year-old Wang was 75, he renewed his driver’s license. He’ll soon need to renew it again. In the past three years, his knowledge of traffic laws, driving skills, and sensitivity have all declined, so he’s attending the class so he can drive until he’s 90. This 72-year-old Mr. Hu is also taking the course.

Mr. Hu
Course participant
Before, as long as I could drive, I would. Just knowing how to press the gaspedal was enough. But just now we tried out emergency braking, which made me realize the importance of maintaining proper following distance.

The two students found the acceleration and emergency braking practice to be most useful. It also aligns with one of the course’s primary objectives. Senior driving has been a hot topic of discussion this year. Drawing inspiration from Japan’s senior driving programs, the Taipei City Government partnered with the Driving Education Association to create a specialized driving safety course. Seniors aged 65 and above who complete the class are eligible for subsidies.

Mr. Tseng
Driving instructor
Just getting people to leave home and come to a driving school for lessons is an extremely difficult task. Especially older folks, their bodies aren’t as resilient. The more intensive exercises in the course could cause them discomfort.

When it comes to driving, older folks have been on the road for so long that most know their way around a wheel. But as we age, we inevitably lose some of the skills we had in our youth. Taking these classes not only reinforces safe driving practices, but also gives a chance to correct outdated driving habits.

Fish, clam, and watch birds in Chiayi’s wetlands

Every year from October to April, thousands of birds stop in Chiayi during their migrations, gathering in the flat, intertidal zones of Dongshi and Budai townships. This year, Chiayi’s Culture and Tourism Bureau is hosting bird-watching activities, inviting people to get to know these migratory birds in their natural habitat through fun activities.

Children hold bamboo fishing rods, patiently waiting for fish to bite. Many families visit this fishing village in Chiayi’s Dongshi Township to try catching fish.

Visitors enjoy paddling down the river on boats made from recycled materials. There are also ponds nearby, where people can dig for clams and enjoy freshly grilled oysters.

A professional from Budai Township’s fishing village explains how to dig for clams. They bring visitors to the beach as the tide goes out, revealing ideal clam flats.

Tseng Chin-cheng
Budai fishing experience director
The best time is when the tide is going out. You definitely don’t want to come during high tide, because you won’t be able to find clams at all, and they might be swept away by the current.

Close by, flocks of migratory birds perch on trees and take to the skies. Thousands of these birds visit the wetlands in Dongshi and Budai during their migrations from October to April every year. The flat intertidal zones here have a rich ecosystem that is well suited for wading birds.

Bird watcher
The black-faced spoonbills seem to be doing pretty well this year. It’s a joy to be able to see them every year. Watching them interact and preen each other really moves me.

Bird watcher
I saw lots of people watching them from the street here in Budai. I was happy to see the black-faced spoonbills.

Chiayi’s Culture and Tourism Bureau is even hosting bird-watching activities in partnership with local industries, inviting families to learn about nature through hands-on experiences.

Alishan’s Saviki Village tours include dining and cultural activities

Many people enjoy visiting Alishan on their time off. Located in southern Alishan, the indigenous Saviki Village offers a one-day tour where visitors can make millet wine and bamboo cups, and enjoy traditional music and dance performances. They can also savor local cuisine at a restaurant that uses only ingredients from its farm. With such fresh ingredients, only a little seasoning is needed to bring out their natural flavors.

A farmer harvests fresh okra and sponge gourd out in the fields before returning to the farmhouse where pigs, fish, and chickens are raised. This farm is part of an indigenous restaurant in Alishan’s Saviki Village. They specialize in Tsou-style barbeque, and all the ingredients come directly from their farm.

The restaurant prepares traditional indigenous dishes, including celery omelets and black fungus salad, which can be savored while enjoying a view of the Fumei Suspension Bridge.

Wen Ya-lan
Restaurant owner
We don’t add any special seasonings or anything. The ingredients grow from mountain soil and clean water, and are presented in the freshest way possible, leaving a lasting impression on everyone.

Once visitors have eaten their fill, they can experience local Tsou culture.

Using a giant pestle, a visitor pounds millet in a mortar. This is part of the process to make millet wine, which takes the combined efforts of many.

"My arms are sore from using it. It’s very interesting."

Others make bamboo cups, carefully cutting the bamboo and grinding it down into the right shape. After these workshops, locals put on a performance of music and dance, sharing their culture with visitors.

Chen Hou-min
Workshop manager
Our workshops have lots of package deals, including a special one called the “floating restaurant.” It’s one of our special dining experiences that also includes guided tours and cultural activities. We take guests to the Tanayiku Valley for a meal.

Chiayi’s Alishan Township is home to the Tsou people, who live in nine different villages in the area. With its rich history and natural ecosystem, visitors can learn about its indigenous culture and enjoy delicious food.

High water bill raises alarm on woman who died 2 months ago

A tragic discovery in Taichung, where the body of an 82-year-old woman living alone was found in her home, months after dying. The alert as to her death was not actually raised by her family or neighbors, but by the water utility company. The household had registered a spike in usage of 6,000 tons of water in two months, as the woman had apparently left the sinks running in the bathroom and kitchen.

Morticians have arrived at the residence where the dried-out body of 82-year-old Ms. Tseng was found. It is estimated that she died two months ago.

The alert was raised by the water company, which noticed that consumption had soared to a whopping 6,000 tons of water over the past two months. Police forced opene the door to find Ms. Tseng’s lifeless body. The taps in the bathroom and kitchen were still running.

Lin Chia-feng
Chenping Borough Warden
Her body was all dried up. They think she died two or three months ago. They also found an animal carcass inside.

Ms. Tseng lived in Taichung’s Beitun District. Her borough warden says she would often be seen collecting discarded items and joining events at the local temple. But nobody had seen her for some time, and she didn’t show up to collect her Double Ninth Festival cash handout for seniors. Neighbors say she barely spoke with her family.

Neighbor
Taichung resident
She lived alone. Her daughter would barely visit, and her husband passed away long ago.

Tu Chia-yu
Police officer
There were no signs of external force. The case has been submitted to the Taichung District Prosecutors Office.

Police say there were no signs of struggle, and nothing was stolen. As such, an external actor has been ruled out. Ms. Tseng’s family has raised no objections, but it remains unknown whether she died from disease or old age. One forensic expert says there was likely no odor due to her being relatively thin, which would have made decomposition faster.

Kao Ta-cheng
Forensic expert
Only leaving the taps running all day long for so long would result in so much usage. Perhaps she was going to wash her hands or take a shower but then she suffered a heart attack or died of old age, natural causes.

Ms. Tseng had little interaction with her neighbors, and in the end it was the enormous consumption of 6,000 tons of water over two months that raised the alarm.

Restaurants offer promotions to entice cash handout spenders

As the NT$10,000 cash handout is starting to hit people’s accounts, many restaurants are looking to capitalize on the opportunity. One is offering a chance to win a NT$10,000 discount for every NT$2,000 spent, while a buffet at a five-star hotel is accepting a second diner for only NT$111 — basically half off the total. Another has vouchers for NT$3,000 off. However you slice it, they’re all looking for a piece of handout mania.

Garlic, chili, and spices release their aromatics in hot oil before stir-frying succulent crab in Southeast Asian curry.

In this dish, Blue Diamond shrimp is stir-fried in dry barbeque sauce, as fermented wine enhances the aroma. Seared nigiri and steak are also on the menu. This all-you-can-eat buffet is looking to capitalize on the government’s NT$10,000 handout by offering a chance to win the same amount for every NT$2,000 spent.

I believe I’m lucky enough to get it.

I really didn’t know about it.
Do you think it’s a good promotion?
It’s good. Stimulates the economy.
My money was already deposited.
As soon as I got it, I came here to eat.

Chung Yun-yen
Hi-Lai Foods assistant manager
We hope to capitalize on this opportunity through the promotional campaign and the lucky draw. Aside from traveling abroad, people can also spend here at the restaurant.

Garden Kitchen at the Taipei Marriott is also holding a handout promotion. Two people who dine together can eat to their hearts’ content for basically half off.

Sun Yi-tien
Taipei Marriott marketing & PR manager
This promotion has already sparked a rush of reservations, with bookings for the promotional period nearly full already. We expect it to drive a 20% to 30% increase in sales.

Here, you can enjoy torched slices of crispy dusk skin wrapped in thin pancakes. The Renaissance Hotel is offering 10 vouchers for NT$10,000, which can be redeemed with cash for a value of NT$13,000 when dining at the restaurant.

Yu Chih-shan
Renaissance Hotel assistant marketing manager
It’s equivalent to 23% off. We hope it will drive this business opportunity. We anticipate it to boost sales by about 10% to 20%.

Stay on the lookout for deals, as businesses are looking to keep the NT$10,000 handout in Taiwan.
