Some More Stuff--Taiwan Pt. 13

 I've covered the main events during our trip to Taiwan.  But there are a number of miscellaneous curiosities I discovered.  Ah, where to begin...  well, here, i guess...

How they do construction warning...


An interesting building along the way...


From an arty colony of sorts (mostly buy shit...  which we did...)  A couple sculptures...



A different kind of sculpture...


An interesting reminder of Taiwan's past...


Ok, this one needs a little explanation.  I thought it was a urinal (found at the crude restroom at a mountain eatery).  It's actually for Number 2.  I realized later that many folks in Asia still do the squat thing (and it's supposed to be the most natural way to poop).  Often there would be both types of toilets, side by side, in some establishments.



Less gross, certainly...  this wonderful stereo system found in a design shop.  Appropriate.  Audiophiles will recognize these classic components.


Our last night found us at the Grand Hotel for dinner.  And grand it is...


Our hotel was not as grand, but still just fine.  This sculpture graced the lobby.


Our hotel hosted an interesting convention...



Our trip was blessed with two guardian angels...



I was fascinated with a vending machine.  Some very strange drinks on offer...



There are monsters everywhere...


More flattering photos next time...
