Working time, leisure time. Spring in Tw
Anything special to post, just a usual 28cels spring Sunday in Hsinchu. So I will try to make some collage of last 2 months pictures. Yes, 2 months here already, time goes fast.
You did not believe I am on Mars? Sooo...
Martians build strange railway stations. This one is in Miaoli, nearby city to Hsinchu. It is so close that buses do not go there from Hsinchu.
Some local trains seem to have problems with the door frequently:
One of our visits was to old friend, warlord and later War God, QuChi. Some of you might remember the guy from TW1 posts:
Well, I am also ZenMasterMiki, good company here:
Some interesting instruments in the exhibition, which I failed to see last times.
Army:
Elephants and the VERY realistic guy (Qin Emperor, unifier of China, they took him from "Hero" by Ang Lee?):
Upss!
Some beauties around!
And more coming, ba, riding! ;-)
Not Leninistic, it is a guy loong before the Russian quasi-intellectualist.
OK, let's go out of QuChi and see...some flowers. This one hit me in the head when riding bike, so I punished it by taking its pic.
Another ingenious writing on the cup:
This is BIG plate, something for Marijan ;-)
Should I make collection? No, there are others who like to do it in blogs, I am sure. But I gave the name: chinglish.
Hard worker she is.
I will never say any more Opel's tin is bad. THIS I call RUSTED car!
They are trying to sell beer to Asians. A-Mei, local pop star here.
Typical street, Sunday, Jhhubei, town nearby Hsinchu. Cages.
More cages!
It's pig's year...
Pig at night~!
Chinese medicine
One stall-bus at night
My office in TIARA. All the offices look similar, this is just for myself, memory.
What do I usually eat? My private cook makes VERY nice food for me, and I can take it as a lunchbox.
One temple...to this one I made my 1st bai-bai here, looks fiery, no? who would not pray ;-)?
Bai-bai was atthe beginning of the Tomb sweeping day, equivalent of Christian All saints day. It is 5th of April. Everobody moves, it is a holiday...really the same as in Christian world, I think Handsome Bearded Man visited China...
Well, almost the same. Chinese are afraid of cemetaries, as places where ghosts wander...so they come to clean the tombs only this day in the year, they have to remove the grass (cemetary is not saprated place in the city, but at the edge of the city, usually they'd say "mountain". Graves are haphazardly situated all around, depending on the position some feng-shui master marked (for a decent money, sure).
After they finish cleaning and locating the "money" under the stones on the grave, they fire some incense in front of the small statue of the God the grave-keeper, and some more money in front of the grave
All together looks rather like after the battle, and there are firecrackers when family finishes with the grave, that poor people could come and take the offered food.
Family.
A bit more about ecology...more and more mentioned here, also...But, here silent pollution in front of our apartment window. Ecology on Taiwan? "Do not make me laughing", my grandma Gizela would say!
I was not here one and half year and...they managed to make another track of freeway...well, highway, indeed :-D
One more view from the windows of TIARA. Baloons with advertisements or what in Chiao Tung University campus, it was 110 year of it...I think they included Mainland China time or what?
Street behind one of gates of TsingHua University where I work
Concrete chanels for water in this street
View to Hsinchu from the "18 peak mountain" park behind TsingHua Univ.
Sculpture in the park
Written is that you will not be happy if you piss there :-D
This IS tropic country
Another Chinglish example: "National Gravity Datum Service" !?!?!, also in the park
Dwarfs and Snow-White also came for their bowl of rice...
Well, it is noodle, in fact, not always rice. Another example of my tasty lunch-box. Thanks, H-L!
Enough of mix for today, it was musaka of Taiwan for you all. I hope you enjoyed it.
