**The journey to Taiwan starts here.** They’ve hiked the rugged ridges of the Central Mountain Range, watched the sea of clouds from Yushan, and navigated the mystical forests of Alishan. Now, our **AU Taiwan (AUT)** Event Hosts are flying into Singapore to meet you! At Adventures Unlimited, we don’t believe in "outsourcing" your experience. We believe in family. That’s why we’ve brought our Taiwan team to our home base—so you can hear their stories, feel their passion, and get to know the people who will be leading you through the breathtaking landscapes of Taiwan. ### What to Expect: This isn't your typical travel slideshow. It’s an intimate evening of storytelling and insider tips from the people who live and breathe the Taiwanese trails. * **The "Secret" Taiwan:** Beyond the famous peaks, our EHs will share their favorite hidden gems and lesser-known trails. * **Life on the Trail:** What is it really like to hike in Taiwan? From mountain hut culture to the unique flora and fauna you’ll encounter. * **Meet the Faces of AUT:** A chance to chat 1-on-1 with our Taiwanese hosts and ask the questions that only a local can answer. ### Who should attend? * Anyone curious about hiking in Taiwan (from beginners to seasoned trekkers). * AU members who have already booked an upcoming Taiwan trip. * Anyone who wants to experience the "AU Difference" and meet our extended regional family. **Note:** This is a free community event, but space is limited to ensure everyone has a chance to interact with our guests. Come for the stories, stay for the community. We can't wait to see you there. **To a life of adventures,** Simon and Huilian

That’s the challenge behind Techie Taboo, a fun and interactive card game created by ragTech. Inspired by the classic party game Taboo, Techie Taboo challenges players to explain technical concepts while avoiding a list of “forbidden” words that people normally rely on. The result is a hilarious and surprisingly insightful game where techies and non techies alike learn to communicate complex ideas in simpler, more human ways. Whether you're a developer, student, founder, or just curious about technology, Techie Taboo turns learning about tech into a collaborative and entertaining experience. It’s designed to spark conversations, improve how we explain technology, and make tech more approachable for everyone. Come join us for a round and see if you can explain tech without the usual jargon. https://ragtechdev.com/techie-taboo **About ragTech** We're three Singapore-based technologists who seek to demystify technology in human terms, so people can engage with it thoughtfully rather than passively.

If you have been contacted about featuring your work at our meetings or have been asked for any kind of payment it is a scam. Country: USA Written in: 1899 Pages: 195 While marital infidelity in literature was nothing new in Kate Chopin's time, it was usually under a cloak of guilt and devastation. Chopin's works were seen as scandalous and immoral due to her unapologetic celebration of women's freedom of choice, a strong deviation from previous novels such as Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary. She is celebrated as a pioneer of American feminist literature. Here's [one blogger's review](https://findinghopeness.com/2021/04/11/the-awakening-kate-chopins-still-thought-provoking-novel/): In *The Awakening*, Chopin’s heroine, Edna Pontellier, raised ‘American’ in Kentucky, is married to Leonce Pontellier, a wealthy member of upper-class, Creole society in Louisiana. She and her husband live in New Orleans, the focal point of the unique, French-based Acadian culture. He’s often away to the north, including New York City and Wall Street, as the story unfolds. Though apparently doting, he cares most about the material trappings of wealth, including what today would be called his ‘trophy wife.’ But she dares to question and ultimately rebel against all that. They have two young children; but Edna rejects the prevailing, social attitude that a woman should always sacrifice her needs for the sake of her children; ‘unessential things,’ yes, but not the soul of her being, as she struggles to discover what that is. \*\*\*\*\* **New to the Hungry Hundred Book Club?** Here's what you need to know: 1. Read the book (If you don't manage to finish it by the meetup date, don't worry. As long as you're not going to be too disappointed by spoilers, you're still welcome to join.) 2. Come to the meeting, usually (but not always!) on the last Sunday of every month. 3. Be prepared to order food/drink at the venue to show our appreciation for letting us use their space. This is a requirement. A lot of time and effort has been put into finding a place that will accommodate our group without an outrageous minimum charge or rental fee, and you'll never be asked to contribute to organiser fees, so please show your respect and support for the restaurant that's letting us use their space. 4. Discuss! It's a casual conversation, so don't be afraid to ask questions and let us know what you think.

Welcome, readers! Our March read is **_The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver._** The story follows Taylor Greer, a young woman from rural Kentucky who leaves home for the West, only to find herself unexpectedly becoming the guardian of an abused Native American toddler named Turtle. In Tucson, Arizona, they form a makeshift family with a diverse group of people, including Guatemalan refugees and a single mother, exploring themes of motherhood, community, belonging, and finding hope in hardship. The story blends humor with serious issues, creating a story about finding family in unexpected places. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
