Attended Tribes and Tattoos: A Photographic Journey into the Hills of Taiwan with Caker on Friday. It was about the almost lost culture of facial tattoo of the Atayal Tribe in Taiwan. It was quite interesting listening to the culture and the various storiesof the remaining old folks.
Apparently there are only about 10 odd old folks with facial tattoo left and it is estimated that in the next 5 years, they might have passed on as the youngest of the lot is already 96 years old. Both caker n me teared at some parts where they showed video clips of the few last elderlys with facial tattoo.
I was kinda affected by this scene where the old women bid the person goodbye and passed away. It was all caught on tape. It’s the last action from the old lady and I just couldn’t get the scene out of my head.
There were a few performances (songs & dances) as well. We talked to them and apparently they are having a full performance on Monday but I could not attend as I have already booked tickets for the movie Paprika.
Took photos with the performers and we are quite honored that they wanted to use their camera and take photos with us for keepsake too. Anyway, one of them is from this group（北原山猫）in Taiwan which is quite famous also.
Attended the WWE Smackdown Tour with Ah Heng and 2 of his frens on Sat. The seats were quite decent and the show was really very entertaining. We participated in the cheering and jeering and the actions and movement were so much more entertaining watching live than on TV.

But some of the moves were really damn choreographed loh, could see the wrestler getting into the placement themselves. But nevertheless, still nice.
The last 2 matches were the best. Chavo VS Rey Mysterio and Bastista VS The Great Khali. (Ultimately it became a tag team match). I hope the next time Shawn Michael comes. Or John Cena. Hee Hee.
