1. I'll be visiting Tianliao for photographic purposes this semester. Props to whoever wrote that article for getting into the Air Force Education Center. That place isn't easy to get to and to get into.
2. I feel like there's a better way to describe this activity, but at the moment it escapes me. It's a common sight at many temples. When a devotee faces a tough decision, they'll throw two crescent-shaped blocks of wood to the floor in front of shrine. They'll then interpret the god's opinion on the matter from how these blocks come to rest on the floor.
3. I'm not a big fan of that old street, but the park behind it is impressive. There's a Shinto shrine on top of the hill/mountain dating back to the Japanese Colonial Administration, and there are also other points of historical significance in or near the park.
4. In traditional Chinese thinking a wife marries out of her birth family and joins her husband's family. On the second day of Chinese New Year wives often return "home" to visit their birth parents and extended relatives.
5. It's not that hot down here in Hengchun, but definitely getting warmer. The winds have died down and it's almost warm enough to swim.
6. There are Rukai people in Maolin? I had no idea, I thought they were all in or near Wutai in Pingtung. I suppose that it makes a certain geographic sense.
