Honey Buckets and Whole-Wheat Faith in Free China – S5-E20

In this episode, a young American missionary family boards a
cargo ship for Taiwan in 1955. What could go wrong? Four weeks, a
typhoon, and a customs nightmare later, they arrive in a land
where whole-wheat flour is exotic, and blonde kids conjure
crowds. Taipei in the 1950s was “fragrant,” with open sewers and
“honey buckets” filled with human waste used as fertilizer. This
week on Formosa Files, we bring you a missionary tale of faith,
grit…and refrigerator duties.
