This photo was taken at a restaurant near National Taiwan Normal University. The restaurant, as you can see, is decorated like Shanghai from the early 1900's. It is so beautiful. The artwork is all reproductions of advertisements from the period - for cigarettes, milk, etc. The furniture clearly reflects what was a colonial presence in the city at the time with a French concession, Portuguese, American, British, and so on. Black Jazz musicians were brought to the city to play in the clubs.

More from the south of Taiwan
Here are some photos of Jesse's fieldwork in Hengchun peninsula.
Here you see Vincent, Jesse's collaborator on his project at NTU.
It was a great chance to get out of the city and enjoy the beautiful Taiwan coast.
