Hell's Kitchen Cont'd

Taipei

Behold. These are the images of my in-law's kitchen in Taipei:


And honestly, what more can I say? My mother in law is perfectly content with her kitchen. If you ask her if there's anything wrong with her kitchen's setup, she'll be completely forthcoming and tell you that there's nothing that should change. No irrationally there...
If I offer to clean up, my mother in law will get upset. I can understand that - we all want our personal space. If I offer to buy an organizer, she will get upset - why waste the money? The irony of it all is that the floor throughout the house is completely spotless. There's not a spec of dust on the white linoleum floors.

Hell's Kitchen

Unfortunately I did not bring the cable to connect my camera to my computer. So I'm reserving this space on my blog for a site that is not easily described in words. I'm talking about my in-law's kitchen, and although I am told that almost no other kitchen in Taiwan looks this way, I feel it is a result of the very Taiwanese notion of frugality. So the description belongs in this blog.

I will add the pictures later.
