Jianguo Weekend Market


The Jianguo weekend market, right next to that runs all along the underside of a highway overpass and includes a jade, flower and artist market. The jade market is by far the most interesting of all the markets taking place. Just aisles and aisles of not only jade, but other gemstones, preserved wood, pearls and tons of jewelry making supplies and displays. There were fruits and animals carved out of single pieces of stone!

The flower market made me feel angry I didn't live in a place with more of a consistently temperate climate.  The artist market was tiny and cheesy for the most part, but still fun to wander. 

Hot bargaining tip! Tell vendors that you are buying to sell the gems yourself and they will give it to you for a cheaper price.

Traveling / SF & Taiwan




I thought I would share some photos from last November. A few pictures from the air,  SF and a whole bunch from Taiwan (which will be chopped up into several posts).

Enjoy!

A detail of Doug Johnston and I's 'Material Material' installation at Little Paper Planes 





One of the first things I did when I got to Taiwan was buy a pack of Lembu (or Wax Apples), one of my favorite fruits ever.




Tropical reflections in scooter mirrors.




As a short person, I sometimes have to rely on the screens of others to see whats going on.









Napping at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Park

My grandmother naps in her room.







Not the most delicious example of soft serve but cheap enough to get for photo purposes.
