music bands in taiwan

i went to a band performance last saturday.
the performace was held in a pub called RiverBanks in taipei.
the performance was great.

this performance was organized by Treesmusic, which invited two bands to sing together.
one of the bands was Sheng Xiang & Water 3, a Hakka band.
the lead singer Sheng Xiang is a very talented singer.
he wrote many songs about Hakka people's life and the changes of taiwan.
he is nominated in this year's Golden Melody Award, which is the most prestigious award in taiwan.
hope this and will grab a few awards home.

working on saturday

i want to reveal the cruel side of taiwan.
almost all of the laborers here get no pay for working on weekends.
the bosses don't compensate for the working hours.
we have to sacrifice our time for work.
and the bosses expect us to work with all smiles.
if we don't work on weekends, we might even get some decrease in pay or threats.
everyone outside taiwan always think taiwan is heaven.
because the cost living is quite low, and everyone looks rich.
but that is just skin deep.
actually we are poor and treated inaccordingly.
sorry for ourselves.

my recent travel

this february, i went to europe for a three weeks' trip.
and i saw lots of thing that possibly i will never forget.
and to my disappointment, i really don't have time to write everything down.
there are lots of thing that i want to share with people.
so i finallyy decided to use blogging technology to document my idea.
with this method of writing, i can write anything that pops into my mind.
and what's more convenient is that i can poast my notes and probably my picture anytime from anywhere as long as tthere is internet available.
so i wrote a very rough draft of my recent travel.
and just to share with everyone.

but i still have to wait awhile until my iBook is fixed.
because i have saved part of myjournal in it.
and i really hope that Apple engineers can bring back my files.

by the way, i really like Tiger and spotlight,
i use it on other computers, and these technologies are really amazing.

and the weather is still hot here in taiwan, even at night.
i am looking forward to my long vacation in August.
then i will have more to blog.

very hot in taiwan

today is really hot in taiwan.
we are having rain season here.
so the air is very damp.
but i like the weather before the rain comes,
because the wind blows very hard.

just want to post a note.
to give out some weather info of taiwan

editor's notes

i was working on the cocktail article for my magazine.
and i found out some interesting facts.
jerry thomas was crdited the father of cocktails.
and his famous mix was Blue Blazer.
well, i am not a cocktail lover myself.
but i'd love to drink it.
well, of course, without fire in it.
another is that drinking cocktail is all psychology stuff.
the cocktail you choose looks stylish, and you definitely are in the style.

i have many things to say.
will post it later.
