Nangang

This is in front of a music hall. During the tail-end of the recital or concert, I was able to ride it a few times for the attendees to see my performance outside as they were exiting. They were all in formal attire, like ballgowns and tuxedos watching me. I felt a little out of place, but this was a once in a summer night, and was able to skate it without getting kicked out. 

If I were with other skaters, I would have got kicked out. That is one of the silver linings to skate by yourself, you rarely get kicked out (Taipei). Not so much in America, but  for some reason in Taiwan, citizens are not threatened by the solo skater. Maybe they feel bad. Whatever the reason, it works, and have been able to skate things that everyone else says is a bust. 

Look at the new park that just installed some ledges. This area has been undeveloped for over 20 years, a lot of people speculate it was used as a POW camp by the Japanese and later ROC. It is supposed to be haunted, and could have bad luck if not designed correctly. In order to avoid any conflict with a spirit, they must bring in a shaman and he will perform a ritual and tell them how to create the best feng shui. 

There are too many things to remember when creating good feng shui, for example; clean your windows, place shiny things like cds in the front opening, don't place refrigerator in direct view of bathroom, no 90 degree angles pointing at couch or bed, no family photos facing bathroom, no chewing with your mouth open, go to bed before 9, no singing at night, no hanging white clothes up at night, don't look at someone that calls your name, don't sleep with your mouth open, always tuck in your shirt, comb your hair , no listening to the Beatles, ect... (Some of those are made up)

There is a hotel down the street from here that is said to be built on a prison during war time. There are many reports of people being woken up at night, and things moving. Every local has heard about this, and it has gotten so bad that they will relocate a block away just to save the brand image. When walking in the lobby you can see many ancient methods of trying to calm the angry spirit.

Perfect height for thee ol' Jack

That makes me want to cry its so beautiful. Look at the stone work. 

I wonder if this place is haunted?

These are my favorite types of spots. Easy and fun. When you realize that skateboarding is your life-sport, you tend to look at it from a golf perspective. Take it easy, and enjoy. 

 What would you do on this?
