On Wednesday night last week I went over to Legacy at Huashan Culture Park to see Chairman, the famous Taiwan band that was "basically Su Tseng-chang's house band" as my friend put it, during the recent election in Taipei. Here is a singer from one of the warm up bands.

If there is a true miracle food, the humble potato is it.
Went hiking on trail 8 in Ta-ken the other day.

I know you've been pining away for spider pics.

Taiwan may be the kingdom of the butterflies, but we have a lot of moths as well.
Lead guitar and lead singer of Chairman. ADDED: A commenter pointed out I didn't have any link to their stuff. Here's a vid on Youtube.
My son also enjoys painting.
Hard to believe we breathe this stuff.
A shrine on the trail.
You can get anything you want here. And if he doesn't have it, he'll run and get it for you.

ReplyDelete"Hard to believe we breathe this stuff." Yeah, what's with the smoke recently? We had over a week of unbreathable air on Dadushan... It's just now getting a little better.
ReplyDeleteSome of the haze is due to dust from the rivers, the dams make it worse. If it doesn't rain the winds scoop it up... and the rain doesn't wash away the pollution from the cars etc.
