I brought my copy of  Coffee News  back to  Taitung  with me, and I was rereading it last night.  As I reread it I got to wondering what the  Taitung  version of  Coffee News  might look like, and whether there might be a market for such a thing.  I know of similar periodicals placed in temples here, but nothing you'...
