Taipzs
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Counting down goes faster towards the end, and the days seem to flush away at once. Some pictures around the city…
At the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall…


They had a statue exhibit. Thought I’d share how Asians think Asians look like.








a gourd shaped toilet, for long poos– haha GET IT?

A soldier stands guard in front of the giant Abraham-Lincoln-like statue of Sun Yat Sen.

Other city snapshots:

Old washing machine baskets make great street plant pots…

Old mattress springs sit out and perform as hooks to hang plastic bags of garbage…

Lunch was “xiao long bao”, steamed mini buns with pork, potstickers, and hot-and-sour soup…

Their tiny spiral stairs that go to the upstairs lounge…

Every so often there’s a tech./ gadget expo at the Taipei Convention Center– computers, games, cameras, cell phones… all on sale and glittering with digital sexiness.
Girls dressed up to represent and catch the most glances for their brand.



This man totally had jewel studs and I have no idea why…

Even monks gotta be connected, yo–

Penguin Love Strap: Bone makes you different.

Starcraft II demo lounge, complete with… camo flight attendants?

Sneers of enjoyment. and lust.

Muzee girls
