Why did the KMT choose specifically to retreat to Taiwan?

What was the reason to pick Taiwan specifically? I understand they were losing the Chinese Civil War badly at that point but why retreat to an island? Why Taiwan? Why not Hainan? Why not try to retreat into Burma and appeal for help from Mountbatten? What about exile into Tibet and trying to sue for peace from there while holding out in a redoubt?

​

Tell me about Wawa. I live in a rural area where the nearest restaurant and grocery stores are about 30 minutes away (takes me an hour round trip to get groceries). Right outside my neighborhood, 0.1 miles they are building a Wawa. We don't really have these in Texas I've been all over Texas and never seen one.

Google search saying it's like an upgraded convenience store with good sandwiches and coffee. Is this more like a Bucees or just like a QT?

Are we talking like Publix quality sandwiches?

This movie could be a comedy similar to The Death of Stalin with the Russian fleet building up to reach the Pacific. The Russians getting into a shootout with some fishing trailers in the North Sea, then fighting other European powers on accident, not to mention various other incidents.

Then get a good serious battle scene at the end. I've heard a few historians say the events that took place with the Russian fleet in 1905 are so absurd if you watched a Hollywood movie about it you would think it is fiction.

I have a toddler and she's now 26 months and sleeping through the night almost every night now. I never drank coffee before having an infant but I started heavily drinking 2-3 cups a day when I went back to work off paternity leave. After a few months I started having horrible nightly bouts of nocturia waking me up having to get up 3-4 times per night.

I went to my urologist and they did all kinds of tests. Bladder scan, blood work, examined prostate, etc all came back normal they couldn't figure out anything wrong. Also went general practitioner to check pre diabetes they ruled that out stated I am not overweight and my blood sugar readings were normal.

Two weeks ago I cut caffeine and it has helped some I now only wake up once at 4 am. Quitting caffeine was not hard I just switched to Nespresso decaf. So I have my decaf coffee in the morning and then have water at lunch and dinner (before 7 pm).

But it's the 4 am wake that's still really hurting my sleep and mental health. When I get up to pee I have a very hard time falling back asleep.

Is it just going to take longer for the caffeine withdrawal? Or is it something else? Is my body just conditioned to wake up at 4 am since it was doing it every night while my daughter was an infant?
