CowParade Taipei 2009

Yein Jee — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 03:48:04 +0000

CowParade is an international public art exhibition which featured in major cities worldwide, where fibreglass sculptures of cows decorated by local artists would be distributed over the city centre. The cows are normally auctioned off after the exhibition at each city with proceeds donated to charity.

Taipei City is the 65th venue for the parade; the exhibition has just ended in early February… a pretty fitting event to welcome the Chinese New Year of Ox.

Want some Kentucky Fried Ghicken?

Yein Jee — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:58:29 +0000

Got this from a friend who knows I am a fan of the real KFC. It’s said to be a restaurant in China that imitates the famous franchise, but it’s very likely that this is a doctored photo… and that the restaurant didn’t exist.

I’ve found lot of discussions about this pic in various Chinese forums, a few of them claimed that the restaurant does exist, but nobody could really pinpoint the exact location of the copycat restaurant(s).

Another day to go before the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics. Some random news and information about Olympics and happenings in Beijing…

The game has started

The women’s soccer tournament of the Beijing Olympics kicked off at 17:00 Beijing time on Wednesday, two days before the opening ceremony. It’s common for soccer (and some other team sports) to start the games earlier.

The most beautiful goat?

Yein Jee — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 16:11:16 +0000

This goat won the ‘most beautiful goat’ title at a competition in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on June 13. Most beautiful? I am not sure. The most bizarre looking goat that I have ever seen though… that’s for sure.

Saving the Japanese frogs

Yein Jee — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 08:36:40 +0000

A ‘frog crossing’ sign had been set up along a road in Karuizawa, Nagano, Japan, by a local nonprofit organization to warn drivers as the amphibians begin their spawning period.

Alert: frogs crossing

Between March and May, Montane Brown frogs and Japanese common toads living in a nearby forest would cross the road to lay their eggs in a pond. However, many of the frogs were ran over by cars, especially during rainy days.

Officials hoped that the sign, put up by nonprofit animal protection group Picchio, could help the frogs staying a jump ahead when it comes to safety. [Mainichi]

Perhaps the Chinese should try this too.

Quack Quack… here comes the ducky

Yein Jee — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 09:02:02 +0000

This giant rubber ducky (26×20×32 metres), created by Florentijn Hofman, can be seen in Nantes, France, during the Loire Estuary 2007, an outdoor art exhibition that features artworks by 30 artists from around the world…

Excerpt from Hofman’s website…

The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!
