Had a mission to go see the flowers that are growing in Mei Nong today. It never materialized though. We ended up going near the flower fields however, and seeing some interesting places, we just didn’t get as far as the flower fields. The weather was iffy, with intermittent showers and [...]

I stumbled upon a new site created by Taiwan bloggers David and Mark. I personally think it is great. I always enjoy checking gout the older pictures and thinking about the way things might have been. Good job guys.

It was a busy Saturday, but it was worth it in the end. I made it down to The Rolling Stone in Tainan to see local band Divebomb

Ilan band The Deadly Vibes

and from parts unknown the Lust Sluts Burlesque art/performance show
.
Steven Vigar was on hand with some friends to help take photographs [...]

Taking photos is so easy these days with the dropping costs of digital cameras and memory cards it is possible for so many people to take thousands of photos and pick out their jewels for display. I am personally enjoying this side of photography myself, but the further I delve into it, the harder [...]

All of my hard work and perseverance has paid off and I finally have a new digital camera. I got a good deal from the Sunrise camera shop in Tainan (more info about them to come later). I ended up with a Canon Powershot S5 IS. Here are a bunch of [...]

This is a message for bloggers/photographers in Taiwan, as well as anyone that likes to see fun photos. We are looking at starting/organizing a photo scavenger hunt. If anyone wants to get involved, please let me know. There have been a few posts in the forum about this regarding content of the [...]

The Living in Taiwan forum that I started a few weeks ago is creeping along picking up new members here and there. I noticed more people commenting lately, so why not join in there. You can comment on bands and the state of music in Taiwan or about anything in the general chat [...]

I submitted a bunch of photos to the Armory Pub in Tainan to be looked through then chosen for use on postcards. Originally, they chose 8 photos to be turned into postcards. It was just my luck though that the resolution wasn’t good enough on 5 of them (probably the product of my [...]

Tainan is the temple capital of Taiwan. They all have their own schedules for making a racket and having some serious “bai bai” times. Of course there are events that overlap between temples but my point is that on any given day you may see or be stuck in the path of [...]

We’ve spent a lot of time recently revamping our photo section. Now we’ve got one of the most extensive photo archives about Taiwan online. Have a look. We’ll be adding more soon.

Crocodile King Pictures
* Update: Got that picture link fixed up. Sorry about that.
This was to be a great day. A short ride out of town to see the “Crocodile King” establishment. I heard from some students that had been there over the weekend and asked them where it was [...]

Here are some photos taken by one of our photographers, King 8 Eggs. He was at a new year’s celebration and got some nice photos of some enormous pigs and a dragon on top of a food spread. Good work Mr. King.

All photos are compliments and copyright of Wang Ba Dan. [...]

Here is a photo I took today. It was located on the back of a van in Tainan. It is an advertisement for Wang Ding Yi, who must be running for office or something down here. It’s obvious how he feels about China, and I wonder if that is his whole platform. [...]

Took a trip out today to Lu Er Men temple in Tainan County. The guys there said it was the largest temple in Tainan. It was an interesting place, and I got a few really nice shots of the place with my dinosaur digital camera. There is an abandoned water park next [...]

Here is a picture i have been meaning to take for a while. The work on the left has a man lifting his shirt and showing his nipple. If you look closely, you’ll notice some salespeople have begun using the spot as a place to put their flyers and advertisements.
