Art & Animals

10.16.10

My first attempt to go to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) of Taipei failed due to an installation period for the next exhibit. Definitely going back when it is open. However, the train station right under the museum and the streets near by were full of art and interesting things for me to see.

Ceramic art, traditional and modern, is allover the city. Taiwan seems to like tiles, mosaic, ceramics and such. The bunnies were keeping me company as I ate my lunch in the park near the museum.

After a cup of hot coffee at a cute street side cafe, I decided to check out the Taipei Zoo. On the tain ride there, I was approached by a traveler and we head to the zoo together. I guess he randomly decided to go to the zoo as well, just like me.

HIPPOPHOTAMUS?? Man, get a dictionary..

The weather was a bit gloomy and rainy but the animals didn't seem to mind. We saw dancing monkeys, swollen monkey vagina, fighting rhinos, pouncing lioness, and much more. The best part was the PANDAS! Too bad they were indoors and we were forced to walk through fast so I didn't get a picture.
