Capoeria


We went for a night walk the other day, because Amelie was a little on the active side, and took her to S.Y.S Memorial Hall, not too far from home to give her a bit of a workout. On reaching there, we heard some rythmic drum beats echoing around the area. We got to the main entrance of the memorial hall and found a group of people practising Capoeria, a form of Brazillian martial art.

It was fun to watch, and the drumbeats where really good, sounding out a Brazillian beat out over the memorial hall area. I took the opportunity to try out the camera in a night setting, taking moment pictures. Perhaps I've yet to get used to the new digital camera, and may not know all of its functions, but the pictures I took were pretty crap. On the other hand, the people practising Capoeria were pretty good, and moved very quickly with their various swing kicks and swift movements. All very exciting, and it was the first time I have seen it in action. The only place I have seen it is in the Tekken games with the character Eddie Gordo!










Here are some other night shots I took, without a tripod mind you, hence the shake and all.

Amelie Back In Taiwan, Reunion With Mister Donuts

Amelie finally back in Taiwan!  Have missed her for three months, but have been busy at work, not had chance to catch up with her.  However, Amelie did some catching up herself...with her favourite Mister Donuts! You must cut down on those foods!

Going Japanese

After a bit of a battle in the bathroom with Amelie, she chose to go Japanese tonight. Chien took some pictures, and I thought I'd like to share them. Enjoy!

Goodbye P-100

I'm just going to upload the last ever set of photos from our loyal Sony P-100. I will update this post tomorrow. Yup, the Sony P-100 is a gonna. It ain't gonna rise from the ashes, this time... For now here are some photos taken today around Taipei using the Sony P-100 before the evening's accident, which involved Chien-yu, her foot and the hard marble floor we have in our room. We now got a good excuse to get a new, better digital camera. Its going to have to be a Sony one though, because I invested in a 1GB memory stick. Need to make use of that as much as I can! Sigh, money, money and more money.
