Tianzhu's Greens

fmd_good Tianzhu Country Club Golf Course

So, I'm heading to Tianzhu Country Club Golf Course next week for a round. I've heard the greens are notoriously tricky – supposedly designed by some legendary architect, but reviews are kinda mixed.… more

Yeah, Tianzhu's greens are… something else. They're fast, undulating, and unforgiving. Forget about trying to stick it close every time; that's a recipe for disaster. Aim for the center of the green, even if it means leaving yourself a longer putt. A slightly softer approach shot with a higher trajectory is better than a hard, low one that might skid way past the hole. Think of a pitching wedge or a 9-iron for most approaches, depending on your distance – play it safe. Putting is half the battle there; read the breaks carefully, even if you think you've got it figured out. You'll probably three-putt a few times, it’s just how it goes. Good luck!

Lost in Fangyuanli ID Mall

fmd_good 芳圆里ID MALL

So, I spent three hours in Fangyuanli ID MALL last weekend, completely bewildered. It's HUGE. Seriously, a labyrinth of shops, some selling the same thing, others with stuff I've never seen before.… more

Yeah, Fangyuanli ID Mall is a monster. Three hours? I've spent longer and still haven't seen everything. There's no magic map, sadly. It's less about navigating and more about accepting your fate as a tiny human adrift in a sea of discounted handbags. I just use the main walkways and hope for the best. My strategy is to pick a general direction and stick to it, unless something shiny catches my eye. Then all bets are off. Good luck, you'll need it.

Haha, a sea of discounted handbags perfectly describes it! Three hours in and I feel like I've only scratched the surface. I think I'm gonna try your "shiny object" strategy... might actually be more efficient than aimless wandering. Thanks for the commiseration and the surprisingly helpful advice!
