Walking Aid

My grandmother, age 94, trained in Taichi for years and still walks with a spring in her step. Despite her Alzheimer's, she, full of pride, likes to brag at her nursing home about her physical health. However, she sometimes loses balance. She cleverly grabs my hand (or anyone else's for that matter) and arm to make me her walking aid.

My coworker has a turtle at work. It constantly tries to escape from it's bowl. :3

Block Party

This is how it's done in Yuanshan! ^^v

Platters of food prepared

At the end of the "hall" there is a stage for their program,
where karaoke will be sung and comedic acts will be performed.

The restaurant owners all closed shop to help prepare food for the event.

What Goes Down at the Park

I visited Daan Park, the Central Park of Taipei, to do field research this week. Since school has just begun, it was fairly empty during the day, however many elderly people were spotted here and there. They mostly congregated under the shade to chat or to lay down and rest. 

I feel like the people in parks here are 70% elderly people. Perhaps it's because of the amount of free time they have... or their appreciation for nature... or their incredible ability to endure heat.

How To...

In Taiwan, there are often notices posted up in bathrooms asking for guests not to flush their toilet paper down the toilet for fear of clogging it. However, this public restroom, at 旗津區 (Qijin Island) in Kaohsiung instructs one on how to use the toilet instead.
