A measure of society . . .

. . . or you know, just stuff I need to measure for Midsummer.

But I thought you might be interested to see a Taiwanese tape measure. Across the top is the traditional Chinese unit of measurement, the ping, which is still used exclusively to measure real estate, as well as many other things.

I don't really know what all the writing down the middle is for, and the bottom is centimeters.
