    019 Christmas in Taiwan
    Dec 15 2022

    [Children who believe in Santa should not listen!] Mark and Dr. Dr. Max discuss how the Christmas season in Taiwan is viewed by foreign residents living in Taiwan, many of whom took the time to share their own experiences in a survey we sent out prior to the taping of the episode. The hosts also travel a little down nostalgia lane to talk about what Christmas means to them, and how it could be more thoughtfully celebrated in Taiwan. Recorded Nov. 25, 2022.
