December 31, 2010 – Taipei Backpacker’s

What you see in the photo are the letters of guests who stayed in the Taipei’s Backpackers. Although there are a number of notes written in guests’ native languages, much of them are letters of gratitude and requests for visits from hosts to their countries.

Aside from maximizing every available space and wall for maps and guides, toiletries and picka foods, backpackers’ houses are more personal when it comes to relating with their guests. Every guest can watch TV together, eat on the same table and share the same bedroom. Plus, the hosts are more intimate when it comes to conversation as they don’t speak like they are your servants but instead as friends who welcomed you at their home.

Cutesy Amidst the Nosiness of Taft

I and my friend was at a coffee shop in front of De La Salle University. Named as Noriter: Coffee and Dream, this place is a perfect venue for gals and guys with upbeat and fun hearts.

It’s wooden wall is designed with lots of writings which were mostly drawn by their guests. You bet, most of them are confession of love. Hihihi!

It has second floor where friends and lovers can cuddle around while the breeze of coffee runs through the curtains full of purple and green hearts. (but wait, too much of cuddling will bring you humiliation as this place is armed with cctv camera haha coz a lot of ‘kids/teenagers’ were doing it too much).

Tables for coffee talk are full of pictures while the chairs are randomly colored with strong plain colors. Lots of drawings are on the wall including a world map on a blackboard. Cups that we use for hot coffee are pulled together to make a wall art and a giant robot.

While the sandwiches, cakes and frappe are not more than the usual, it pays to visit and let the blow of creative air flow into one’s unconscious creative side. =*

On May 12th, the world’s biggest Expo will happen in Yeosu, South Korea. It’s theme is The Living Ocean and Coast as it showcase different activities that have something to do with ocean creatures and port structures. They also have cartoon characters (which I really think look like the characters of Taiwan International Expo 2010) that will symbolize this big event.

With 126 days remaining before its opening, thousands of Koreans are helping out in promoting the event whether it may be thru video, networking sites, photos, website and blogs. Some are also engaged in personal marketing by doing it in train stations and malls. The big port area of Yeosu has been transformed to state-of-the-art technologies of traditional accommodation, ocean wave-like conference and activities area, high-end VIP hotels, efficient airport, bus terminals, eco-parks and others.

Hays… Hope I can be there!!!

Postcard

Part of my being miser during Christmas season is doing a little creativity on gifts with what I only have on hand. Apparently, last Christmas, I happened to look at the Christmas photos my family had from the previous years then found a photo of snow ball I took. I thought of making a postcard out of this photo then give it away to my colleagues.

Then, just of the ordinary postcard-giving where such is not given with an envelope, I decided to do it. I bought a seal with my initial to seal envelopes made of yellow-colored bond paper. This will make my colleagues intrigue to what could be inside of the envelope. Haha. And they did. Glad they liked it!

I am thinking of making postcard for this coming Valentines Day…. hmmm..
