A Lazy Day

In Taiwan, Manga (Japanese comic books) rental stores are everywhere. Actually, there is a Manga rental store near where I live, thank goodness, but the fees are cheaper and the selections are better here. Normally all seats were occupied by teenagers, but for some reason, not a single customer took his/her seat this evening.

Traditional Taiwanese business buildings has a common feature — arcade. It provides passagers and customers a shield from the sun and rain, a considerate feature as long as you are not a handicap. Because every shop owner can change this space to whatever s/he wants, passage is usually uneven from shops to shops. (This picture is a “bad” example.) What that means is that walking by blocks and blocks of shops can have the same effect of step aerobics. Neat, huh?

My Camera

My Fuji FinePix F10 makes it possible to build my Taiwan travel log. I wish it were lighter and thinner, like Casio Exilim EX-Z750, but it works better than others at low light situation. Well, at least that was what I read last year when I made my purchase decision. (I was a die hard Canon user before.) I take it everywhere with me and take photos whenever I see fit.

I still have trouble applying line drawing techniques. I probably should’ve apply stipple instead parallel lines to show the darker metal. Well, next time I’ll know better.
