...they where made in Taiwan.

It reminds me of Taiwan.

Can't help wondering if the ball is made in Taiwan

>> ^ant:

Japan?
NMA is Taiwan (Chinese).


Title changed. Japan does not have a monopoly on *wtf

Japan?

NMA is Taiwan (Chinese).

Last election cycle the warmongering towards Iran was far far more widespread than it is at the moment. It was a major election issue. Now it is a sideshow at best as the USA has war fatigue. Give it 3 years or so once you all withdraw from Afghanistan.

Plus there was a lot of talk about North Korea before they got the bomb.

And China comes up whenever they flex their muscle against Taiwan. This will become a bigger issue in the coming years as China pushes for territorial rights to the south China sea, which if you look at a map really should be called the Vietnamese Philippine Brunei Chinese sea.

Syria is coming on to the stage too.

It all just comes and goes so easily from public consciousness that we forget. Iraq is still a total shitstorm of ethnic violence, civilian bombings etc but we're sick of hearing about it and dont want to feel guilty so its not news worthy. There's no fear left ergo no need to watch.

Sorry I was mistaken - the ice-Coke machine was in Ximending (teens fashion area), but the museum was close to Taipei Train Station.

Here is a google map of where the ice-Coke machine was (not sure if it's still there).

That "old Taipei" museum was here. Unfortunately they are now closed.

Even though it's been three years since I was there (my GOD has it been that long?), I would be thrilled to see where this museum is located. My fiance and I spent one the best years of our lives living in JingMei. I took the LSAT at ShiDa Science. I miss TaiBei more than most grandmothers miss their grandkids.

In Taipei, there is a small underground museum that has old-style Taiwan (old buildings, pictures, cars, from the 1950s and before). There was even a 1950's style diner where they used the old manual machines to make shave-ice. The ice-coke machine was above ground nearby there. I have no idea if it's still there or not.

I can try to create a Google Map pushpin if you are interested.

Where in Taiwan?
In reply to this comment by spawnflagger:
I had this in Taiwan a few years ago (was only available at 1 machine, I guess was a test/demo unit). It doesn't taste exactly the same - somewhere between coke and coke zero. The ice doesn't last too long when it's >35C outside; the "fizz" (carbonation) seems to run out faster than regular bottled coke; and it costs more.

So yeah, a neat novelty item, but won't replace regular Pop/Soda vending machines.
