"international" Taipei hosts New Row Mian contest (whatever that is)

In what way is the Taipei Ctiy Govt beef noodle competition "international"?
is it merely because Taipei wants to be an international city, so everything the TCG does is "international" ?
for crying out loud, it doesn't even translate "牛肉麵" into English
or any other international language,
merely transliterates it into "New Row Mian", which certainly is not the international standard romanization,
nor, in fact, any romanization system ever used anywhere in the world (outside Taipei)

(but if, by some miracle, noodle makers from other countries did participate, i'll apologize -- though i still think New Row Mian is a stupid title)

Violent house sale leads to eight-month jail term

A man has been sentenced to prison for eight months for selling a house without telling the buyer that someone had committed suicide there ...

The Banciao District Court handed down the sentence to Lee Chiong-chi (李炯祺) on Saturday because he did not tell the buyer surnamed Chang (張) that it was a “violent house” — a term meaning that an unnatural death, murder or suicide had occurred at the house ...

Lee bought the house in August 2006 for only NT$4.68 million because a lodger had committed suicide in the house by burning charcoal in the bathroom. One month later, he sold it to Chang through a real estate agent for NT$5.45 million. Lee ticked “no” to the clause on official papers that asked if the house was a “violent house.”

Wow!
We Adoga need to know about this. I don't care about ghosts. I'd love to save a million. Anyone know if there's a website listing these properties?
