The Old Times part 1

I've been scanning old photos of my family in my spare time after founding my mom having trouble with the scanner and the computer, so I took over the job and found some very interesting photos of me as a kid.

My four-year-old birthday.

Wildlife First Aid Station

Before the summer vacation ends, me and my classmates from the veterinary medicine planned a tour to Wildlife First Aid Station in Jiji. Two of my friends, one from Taipei and one from Kaohsiung, stayed at my house the day before and we went to the famous Feng-Chia night market to experience the crowds and the food.

We first visited the hospital for wildlife animals, and there we saw some animals that we rarely see in our daily life (of course not if you live in the wilds), for example pangolin and Collared Scops Owl. Then we visited the museum part, which exhibited many specimens of endangered animals in Taiwan.

武昌宮 is a temple destroyed in the 921 earthquake in 1999, the same year it was built. Now it became a famouse tourist attraction for both disciples and visitors like us.

New Art Works

finished: 2008.8.29 material: chalk, pastel model: Albert
I wasn't planning to use both chalk and pastel, but I'm quite satisfied with the result. It's the first time I try these two material together, and I actually took some risk since I wasn't sure about the effect, but fortunately the colors does bring life to the dull black-and-white painting.

finished: 2008.07 material: watercolor Sun Moon Lake
finished: 2008.07.22 material: pencil

Traveler Kitchen

http://www.tkitchen.com A very nice Greece style restaurant. I've learned that it is quite difficult to book, and we were lucky to get a seat because we came in the afternoon.
