Places I've Been 1: Yingge


Food on the main street. They are little cakes filled with red bean or custard. 

One of these things is not like the others. 

That right folks, it's a ceramic pillow. 


So along with the episodes I'm going to try to include the different spots I that I visit in and around Taipei. Hopefully, this will include some overseas post eventually. 

Yingge is a town in Taipei County known for ceramics. I went there with some friends over the Double Ten holiday. It has a main street for buying all sorts of ceramic stuff, but it also has the surprisingly modern Taipei Ceramics Museum. I got to see the Taipei Ceramics Biennial, which had some artists I knew from working at Sculpture.
