Taiwan

Everything is kind of... chinesey over here, so bear with me on the typing and lack of spell check.

Hope all is well stateside, and while I have not had the opportunity to do any field research in terms of actual human perspective from theis side of the world, Taiwan has proved very inspiring in other ways.

For one thing, people wear masks here. You know, face masks as they work, these wierd, trendy scooter masks made form Hello Kitty cloth. Anyways, it's all very apocolyptic looking and we should consider thier use.
Also, the streets are LOUD; lots of scooters, lots of horns, and many of these mini bases with loudspeakers blasting advertisments as they slowly creep by.
I definatly want to use recorded and/or live megaphone sounds.
Lastly, thier billboards here are nearly ALL text. no pictures. barely any graphics. It's interesting, and I like the idea of projected text more and more.

On a more personal note, this shit is crazy. We are working 12 hour days, and making a bussiness deal means being able to eat my way through 2, ten course emals a day. It's exhausting.

I'd appreciate a debrief on the blog after rehearsal tomorrow from anyone who has a moment.

Zai Jian!
