I tried this pig skin dish in a traditional restaurant, 阿月切仔麵, in my home town Kaohsiung. It's one of the most memorable things my tongue remembered...haha
You would think pig skin is something oily and fat. On the other hand, this appetizer is nothing like what you would imagine with common senses. It's not fatty at all but gelatinous and very well seasoned. In chinese, the best way to describe it is 爽口.
Turning the pages of old photographs I whisper thanks to each and everyone Deep in my heart you have come, come to live Sure as the sun to see me through
Come rain or shine however the day may be You shelter me with your smile However far your memories may fade Traces of you I hope to find Then you appear and I drown in my own tears
I wish on a star, the first star of the night You'll find me here every evening of the year As twilight approaches I look to the sky Searching for you with all of my heart
In grief and joy I long for you and your smile Hoping you feel the way I do If only you could fine me from where you are I do believe somewhere in time I do believe I will see you once again
Come rain or shine however the day may be You shelter me with your smile But as each memory of you fades away I'm so alone longing for you You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears
Missing you so I'm missing you so You're on my mind as I drown in my own tears
I took this picture at Jiufen (九份), a village on the Mountains surrounding Taipei basin and facing the Pacific. I got excited to visit this village because of the fact that Miyazaki Hayao based some of his sketches for Spirit Away on this small mountian village.
The title is modified from a novel, 千江有水千江月, by 蕭麗紅.
Director Kunio Kato's earlier work, 或る旅人の日記, a six-episode short film series is still one of my favorite. I like his unique style of drawing and the stories full of imagination, which I believe are also the two qualities that make Miyazaki Hayo so special. It's hard to find the link for his earlier work now; try the following link if you are interested in 或る旅人の日記.
