Burning wish

This is one of the most interesting scene I used to see in Taiwan. As I know, there is not that kind of custom in Korea. It's Taoism mixed with folk religion and faith. They buy bunch of yellow paper money and burn at temple, shrine, and street periodically. I can see shopkeeper or crew set a table of feast for their god(s) just in front of shop every half month. They also burn those paper money at the end of ceremony. It seems not different from Sunday worship of a peculiar religion every half of half month. It's the matter of faith, wish, and hope for something. That's people's ordinary life and mind.

The second Berger King in Tainan. 20 meters opposite to McDonald.

fan, signature, business, street

Not that woman, star was sweating a lot to give his signature on every books (or CD? I didn't concern in honest) which fans purchaced on the chair. See left corner.

He is, actually was, one of the member of so-called F4 in Taiwan. Yes, it's business.

She is trying to attract more passangers. It's in front of a department store in downtown.

old house near Pei-mun Ru

I have a new phone with camera now. This old house was captured by 2 megapixel phone camera, N6288. Not bad in daytime or in stable light. I'd tried movie clip too. But it was at night that I need to practice more.

Sunny day

Whatever you do, if you feel sleepy, you should take a deep rest, anywhere. I remember it's so sweet when I slept during a short rest inbetween the drill in army. If it's a day of Spring, I cannot resist it.

Aborigin Park at Anping harbor

I visited aborigin park near the Anping harbor. I think people were preparing opening day yet. But I got some pictures of their images circled on the ground for perfomance.

Of course I've visited their places in the mountain and museums later but this park was also nice.

Stone images formate a big circle. Some were painted with colorful design and some were simply carved with aborigin traditional images.

Certainly this cultures are related to other Polynesian or Micronesian culture as historians say. I feel also some smell of American aborigin culture from it. Especially their music seems to be similar.

Ethnically they are explained not as Asian but as South Pacific origin. But in my un-scientific opinion, as my emotional opinion, it might be Asian to me.

First Trip to Kaosiung

I went there alone. After lunch I bought a fast ticket and took a slow train.

I just walked around near streets of station. Hot, sweat and hungry enough to come back soon. I arrived at dinning hall before dinner time.

It takes around 1 hour from Tainan to Kaosiung. I've beeb for only 2 or 3 hours there.

No person who I know, no place where I've been recommended, I walked and saw around the nearest streets and some back lanes.

It was enought time to feel I am a visitor.
