I'll have the deep fried Air Trainers please...

While I was back in Taipei, Irene and I went down to Nantou county with some epicurean writers to visit a mushroom farm, an asparagus farm, and a bitter mellon farm. I felt like a kid on a field trip for school, except I was the one driving.

Afterwards, we stopped off at a friend's Italian ice shop in Taichung, and right around the corner was this hilarious bakery. They sold fried bread sticks which were a lot better than the donuts at Mister Donut.

I think the funniest part is not the name (which is funny, but has been used before), but the rolled bread in the Nike swoosh. Can Nike sue them for using a croissant as their logo? Tough call.

There's one of these in Taipei too . . . well, at least one . . . not too far from NTU and it's cattykorner from a huge Nike billboard. I'm pretty sure Nike has merit for a suit if they notice it . . . actually, they may be required to defend their trademarks if they become aware of it. Although it is funny. - Brian

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
