In the Taiwan News, one of three local English papers, every day contains something interesting. On page 2, the sidebar has lots of useful information. In addition to the weather and the air quality index for the day, there is also:
1. The Lunar Prophecy. For instance, It's a good day for breaking ground, funerals, and beginning a journey. It's a bad day for installing stoves (?), taking a bath (!), and paying debts.
2. Yesterday's seismic activity, complete with a map of Taiwan showing the epicenter, the fault lines, and the magnitude.

There's not an earthquake every day, but the fact that they reserve a space for one in the daily paper suggests something that I would rather not think about. And how can it ever be a bad day for taking a bath?
