Plains Aboriginal weaver

Mrs. Gai Ah-yun, a Plains Aboriginal woman, demonstrates the use of a backstrap textile loom in this late 19th-century photograph.

Mrs. Gai Ah-yun was a teacher of sewing and the matron of the School for Women, established in Tamsui by Dr. Mackay in the 1880s. The clothing she wears in the photograph appears in an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum. Together with the carnelian and metal jewelry, this is perhaps the only complete set of Plains Aboriginal bridal clothing and jewelry in existence.

7 years later...I've got ballet filmed in camera gain.

Stillgrab from video footage filmed few hours ago during magic hour, the last sunny evening for the rest of the week as typhoon "Gaemi" is approaching very near and possibly causing tremendous rain, flood and also damage to the north of Taiwan. But hopefully we will rise and shine again just like the vibes seen in this frame. Yep. I miss all the actions during my ballet shoots.

I came back from Taiwan a week ago (been dead for several days afterwards), and it was amazing. I really hope to go back maybe next year. I still have many sights I want to see, and maybe experience a different season. And I miss the food! Taiwan is heaven for vegetarians (probably because of Buddhism), there are great and extremely cheap eateries literally everywhere. Sure, it’s usually like you eat on the roadside, but who cares?! There’s still so much I didn’t try. Aside from one day I had great weather, albeit with higher temperatures that expected, so I really went into summer mostly with around 25°C. One day had 27°C and the only bad weather day had 15°C. Traffic is really extreme, riding and getting off the bus is outright scary, but cheap and necessary, and there are a lot of scooters. The temples were gorgeous, and I also checked out stationery, used book stores for Taiwanese comics and the Taipei Animate. Many of their translations, especially book editions of webtoons have gorgeous extras, but they are so expensive… In the end for new release I only bought one Taiwanese comic that was published in Japan but in monochrome. Stationery were cheap, and I regret not buying some more stuff… The spoken language was a challenge. Young people speak some basic English, but the pronunciation can be tricky. With older folks it was up to gestures – I learned the strange way they show 60 XD On the other hand, basic written things were quite okay for me thanks to kanji. I had great fun with the way some “newer” things are written here and there: the stop button on the bus is 降車ボタン in Japan, but 下車鈴 in Taiwan – and it makes perfect sense :D Anyway, it was really great, very exhausting with the kilometers I walked and then the trip back from Tokyo to Akita, but I can’t wait to do it again.

Maybe you'll forget about me,

and maybe I'm okay with that.

七夕🎋快樂！七夕是中國、日本、台灣的傳統情人節（有別於每年2月14日的西洋情人節）。在中國傳說故事裡，牛郎與織女彼此相愛但隔著銀河無法見面，由於他們的愛情感動了上帝，因此每年農曆七月七日時，他們能透過喜鵲搭的橋，跨過銀河相會團聚。

愛，是沒有距離的。這是我們的也是彼此的第一次度過七夕情人節。過去三個月裡，我們聚少離多，但被月老牽住的線總是特別穩固。我們很享受彼此相聚的��光，也很幸運地能在茫茫人海中相遇。人生中有彼此的陪伴真好。

Happy Qixi Festival! Qixi, distinct from the Western Valentine's Day on February 14th, is a traditional day of love celebrated in China, Japan, and Taiwan. Rooted in Chinese lore, it tells the tale of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, lovers separated by the Milky Way, yet so touched by celestial compassion that they reunite annually on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, crossing the galaxy via a bridge of magpies.

Love knows no distance. This is our first Qixi Festival each other and together. Over the past three months, our moments shared have been brief yet profound. Like a thread guided by the Matchmaker God, our connection remains steadfast. We relish the times when we can be together and feel incredibly fortunate to have found each other in this vast sea of humanity. How wonderful it is to journey through life with each other's company.

Taiwan/Tamsui: Rainy Day With Friends

There was one more chance to meet my friends in Taiwan. Despite the rain we decided to go for a walk in the historical area of Tamsui. Among other historical buildings there was the massive Hobe Fort, Fort Santo Domingo and the former British Consulate Residency. And of course there was time for a coffee and having lunch together. Always a good time to chat and learn more about the life in…
