Taiwan - Chuan Yi Centre

The last day in Taiwan! So sad, going back on the next day le. Today we are going to Chuan Yi Centre~ full name of the place is Chuan Tong Yi Shu Zhong Xin. (傳統藝術中心)I

In the morning, we went to have breakfast in a breakfast shop. Taiwan breakfast is very nice!

這是我在臺灣的最後一天,第二天就要囘新了。今天我們要去傳藝中心了!早上我們去吃早餐,我喜歡吃臺灣的早餐。

The breakfast was good and cheap too! 這就是我的早餐!好吃咧~

After breakfast, we visited YX house. Before going to his house, he keep telling me that I will hiam his apartment too small, too old, and I might not want to live in his house in future.

Actually his house is ok la, just like a 3-room flat but it's abit old. Come to think of it, most tw appartments are old leh cuz they don't repaint it after they built it.

吃了早餐我們到詠翔傢坐坐。之前他一直在擔心說我會嫌他傢很小,以後會不想住在他傢,還整天說,“我傢那麽小,那麽舊,怎麽供的起你這尊大佛啊?”

其實他傢也還好啦,跟三房式差不多咯。

This is the market below YX's house. 詠翔傢樓下的菜市場。

After visiting YX's house, we setted off to Yilan~ 去過他的傢后我們就要到宜蘭去了~

On the way, we went past one of YX's masterpiece in the city of Taipei.


Yap, this is it, made by YX. This is actually his other full time job, making models for advertisements. Sometimes he makes props for opera troupes too but not many opera troupes can afford such expensive props. For example, remember the 3 headed monster in White Snake by MHY? That 3 headed monster was also done by YX and his boss and that thing costed MHY $25,000. Sing dollars!

這是錘子做的,他驕傲的指給我看這就是他的作品之一。有一門手藝還是比較好,單靠歌仔戲的話可能就要餓死咯~!雪山隧道。一個很無聊的隧道。爲什麽無聊呢?因爲它有很多限制而這些限制又很不實際,很愚蠢。這隧道剛挖好時是只能讓官員去宜蘭度假時使用,普通人是不能用的哦!花了人民那麽多錢結果不讓人民用這隧道,大家當然都抗議,隧道才開放的。開放后又定了很多規則,不能開快過70或低過60還要跟前面的車子保持在一個標準的距離。很‘八百’的隧道還會硬硬在你車裏播廣播。如果你在聼收音機,收音機的廣播有時會變成隧道廣播,逼你聼他們的隧道規則。

錘子開車時我不時要提醒他:“快過70了,慢過60了!”

有時前面的車那麽慢,你要跟它保持距離,只好開慢過60。 如果開標準的 速度又不能跟前面的車保持距離。你說是不是很無聊?政府要保護隧道的牆壁是嗎?怕有人把它撞花啊?

This very super silly tunnel is call the snow mountain tunnel. Why is it so very stupid? because it has unrealistic regulations which is sometimes not feasible to follow~ First of all, they spent a hell lot of money to build this 12.9km tunnel then they do not allow ppl to use it! It was built solely for the government officials to use when they go yilan for holidays. This is very dumb and of cuz ppl start complaining, they then open it up for public.

Then there are these silly rules like you can't drive faster than 70km/h nor can you drive slower than 60km/h. You must also keep a standard distant away from the car in front using the lights in the tunnel as estimation. That is very dumb cuz YX came across a very slow driver in front. He needed to keep distant from him and yet maintain at a speed higher than 60km/h. If he maintain the speed at above 60km/h, he will get closer and closer to the car in front.

Fan lor! And stupid lor!

I keep shouting,"Lower than 60 le! too near to the car infront le!"

Make YX very stress also.

A petrol station in Yilan, I don't know why I took this photo also. Maybe becuz I want to blog that the petrol station there very generous, whenever we top up our petrol, they will give us mineral water. Not 1 bottle, not 2 bottles.. but 10 bottles at the highest record! That time we top up NT1400 and they gave us 10 bottles.

加油站,這是宜蘭的加油站。臺灣的加油站都很大方。我們打油他們都會送我們礦泉水,最多瓶那次有十瓶那麽多哦!新加坡的加油站還要累積分數才能換取一些鋼鍋。

The first thing I saw in the Chuan yi centre is this poster. My god.. I want so much to listen to Yu Kui Zhi LIVE! haiz... his voice is so super duper powerful lor. Look at him, so dashing right? Pekin opera lao sheng are always so dashing!

到了傳藝中心我馬上看到這個。唉,好想現場聼于魁智的唱腔啊!你看他,是不是很帥? 京劇的老生就是這麽帥。

Lao ma's favourite, GZX~ 老媽子最愛的歌仔戲!

There is a puppet exhibition in the centre and there were lots of dua ban puppets there. I was not allowed to take photos but i didn't know. So I took the above photos.

中心裏有木偶展覽厛,裏面有很多大扮的木偶哦!

Then we saw a parade, fishies getting married! 哇塞,有婚禮派隊哦!

YX said that one of the pink dancers is his friend but I don't know which one. Tough job, it's so hot and they have to dance in that thick costume!

錘子說其中一個穿粉紅色的舞者是他的朋友。不懂是哪一個咧。。。

lao ma said that the bride is quite pretty and the groom quite handsome. Stupid YX don't like me to comment that other guys are handsome lor.

老媽子說魚新娘挺美的和魚新郎挺帥的。哈哈,錘子不喜歡我說其他男人帥咯。

A street in the centre. Looks familiar?

傳譯中心的街道上。 是不是很面熟呢?

Another dua ban puppet! 多一個大扮木偶!

My god, which lady is that hiding behind the thin sash in such a sexy pose?

天啊,是哪位姑娘站在薄紗後面?

Hammer trying to play with the top but he is too lousy. It doesn't turn at all!

錘子想試試玩陀螺可是他太遜了,根本都轉不起來!

Fail! 遜!

Lao ma took photo with Xu Ya Fen and Shi Hui Jun! hahah.. big shots leh~

老媽子跟許亞芬還有石慧君拍照!

I was asked to take this photo with YX lor. Stupid YX everytime make me angry. I don't want to take photo with him lor!

老媽子叫我跟臭錘子拍這張照片。臭錘子每次都要惹我生氣我不要跟他拍照咯!

My favourite Kunqu! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any kunqu in TW. Haiz... I wish to see kunqu live lor.

我最愛看昆曲!可惜到臺灣並沒有看到什麽昆曲演出。

Lao ma was feeding the old woman guava juice! hahah.. funny.. and what is that stupid yx doing? I was angry with him lor and he is trying to play a fool with me.

老媽子喂老婆婆喝水!臭錘子在破壞我的照片。

去過傳藝中心后我們就到廟裏等待看蘭陽的演出。

After going to the ChuanYi Arts Centre, we went to the god of fortune temple to watch Lanyang's performance. Took some photos there and I will put them up.... soon.
