I received this mail from Tanna, who gave the painting to a colleague so it can travel on. I left the destinations secret, to be revealed when Chris mails me an update:

Seediq Bale
Last sunny Sunday passepartout and I visited the film set of "Seediq Bale", which is the most famous Taiwanese movie in 2011. The movie is based on a true story happened in 1930, Taiwan. Here is the official website with official introduction: Seediq Bale
To make the scene as real, the workteam spent nearly USD 3 millon on building a town. Everything here is designed and set up from old pictures at that time. During the early 1900s, Taiwan was colonied by Japan so that everything was in Japanese style.
The film set will open for visit before the end of March, 2012. Visitors can rent costumes. The Little girl was dressed as Japanese and I was in aboriginal clothes (Seediq style)!
Let's see the movie trailer then we will understand how great achievement "Seediq Bale" did!!!
By the way, when we got back to Taipei city later, luckily found there was sakura (cherry blossoms) blooming! Here comes the spring!

We went to a Taiwanese wedding...
Here the trip goes on...
on the last day of Chinese New Year vacation, passepartout and I took High speed train back to Taipei City, where I work. This is the first and the only (so far) high speed rail in Taiwan whose speed up to 300 km/hr. 'Cause it was the day before first work day in CNY so that lots people (mountain ppl mountain see.. in mandarin) there waiting to take the train.
Taipei here we comes!!!
all right... then we visited the landmark of Taipei city -- Taipei 101-- was once the highest building in the world.
Even though weather in Taipei was cold and rainy, we went to a very
warmy..and sweet event.
YES that was my friend's wedding!
In traditional Taiwanese wedding the family would hold simple ceremony with close relatives during the day and go on a lunch/dinner party after that. Passepartout was luckily invited to attend the dinner
party. There are hundreds of guest tonight in ballroom. We had a feast and a great night share their happiness!!!
Isn't the couple cute? They also gave the best regards to Passepartout!
Wish his following trip goes more and more exotic!!!
Wish they have a happy family from now on!
