Cabbages and Condoms Restaurants

Cabbages and Condoms Restaurants was established by The Population and Community Development Association (PDA).


PDA was founded in 1974 as a NGO. Their early work focus on family planning, including the supervised, non-medical distribution of oral contraceptives, especially in country side, urban areas. After family planning, PDA expended their works to HIV/AIDA prevention and also education. Because the funders have a long vision to run a NGO, they investigated and bought some lands. Company with economic growing, their investigate brought huge fortune into PDA. And this makes PDA can do more in different areas. And one program is Cabbages and Condoms Restaurant.

Until now, Cabbages and Condoms Restaurant can run by itself. It become a successful model for other NGOs. It's hardly to see a NGO can run by itself.

All the decorations are made by condoms and ontraceptive drugs. It not only provides the comfortable dinning environment, but also try to educate people in HIV/AIDS issues. This is a fun and also an educated wonderful place.

Ilha Formorsa, Advertisement of Taiwan

One friend from Philippines she wrote an mail to ask me when is the best time to Taiwan to see the snow?

Snow? This is the first time that I heard someone would like to go to Taiwan to see snow. I replied her with a little embarassment to explain that she probably got wrong message from TV. Because she said she saw TV new, there was snow in the mountain, so she and her boyfriend want to come to Taiwan for the snow. I said, yes, there will be snow in the high mountains, like Yi Shan and others. But it difficult to climb the highest mountain during th winter. As the famous scene which most tourists go is He Huan Shan and there might be only few days has snow in that mountain. And no body knows the exactly date. Because it will depend on the weather. So it's really not a good choice to take so long journey to go to there.

And I suddenly saw these advertisements of Taiwan. This must be best recently Taiwan advertisements selling to the world.

So let us share this wonderful and touching moment.
