Trip to Japan – Kyoto and Hiroshima – Trip planning – Accomodation

Shaozhi — Thu, 23 May 2013 14:16:47 +0000

It’s been more than 5 months since I moved to Taiwan. It’s time to explore some other countries in Asia. Even though I’ve been to Japan 4 times already, I still want to go back to the country and visit places that I’ve never been before. The last time I went to Japan was last [...]

Summer is just around the corner (well, it feels like Summer in Taiwan already!) so I thought I would start a “I love ice cream” series of chibi drawings. I have finished 2 so far and here’s the first drawing in the series – Chibi Batman! I had a lot of fun drawing this! Batman [...]

A Child’s Offering

Shaozhi — Mon, 06 May 2013 12:00:15 +0000

This drawing is based on a Buddhist story. One day the Buddha and his disciple went on their alms round. Some kids were playing on the street. They used soil to build castles and food storage warehouses. When they saw the Buddha, one of the kids grabbed a handful of “soil rice” from his food [...]

My Cathay Pacific Premium Economy Class Experience

Shaozhi — Fri, 03 May 2013 01:35:15 +0000

Having stayed in Taiwan for almost 3 months, I went back to Canada for 2 weeks in mid April. When I flew back from Canada to Taiwan last week, I tried out Cathay Pacific’s Premium Economy class for the first time. I had flown Cathay Pacific’s business class on a previous trip (from Hong Kong [...]

More Airlines Vegetarian Meals – Cathay Pacific and Dragonair

Shaozhi — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 15:33:06 +0000

After spending 3 months in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, I came back to Canada a few days ago. I flew Dragonair from Kaohsiung to Hong Kong and then Cathay Pacific from Hong Kong to Toronto. I posted the vegetarian foods they served on these two airlines in January when I flew from Canada to Kaohsiung. They were [...]

Bose AE2 Headphones

Shaozhi — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:51:00 +0000

I bought a pair of Monster Beats Solo HD (white!) about 2 years ago. I liked it a lot. Unfortunately, it broke during my recent trip to Taiwan. I didn’t realize that the headband was so fragile. Sigh! After some research, I decided to get a pair of Bose as a replacement for the Monster [...]

A broom for your mind

In one of my previous doodle posts, I wrote about the story of Ksudrapanthaka, the Buddha’s disciple who was very dumb. This drawing is again based on the story of Ksudrapanthaka.

Shaozhi — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 05:32:42 +0000

I went to see G. I. Joe Retaliation last week. I thought it was pretty good. My favourite character in the movie was Storm Shadow (Ninjas are cool!). Here’s my chibi version of Storm Shadow.

A Poor Girl’s Offer

Shaozhi — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:00:15 +0000

During the Buddha’s time, there was a really poor girl. She felt sad because she didn’t have anything to offer to the Buddha. One day, she begged for the whole day without rest. At the end of the day, she had a penny. She used the penny to buy a little bit of oil. The [...]
