To Andrea

In Shilin(士林), it is very crowded with a lot of trash on the ground, illegal stalls were set right in the middle of the road, but there is so much to choose from, whether drinks, food, dolls and tiny toys. Here is a video link for you:http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=4EYGjdGF25k

To Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks a lot for your beautiful letter and for appreciating Italian artists.
Art is a global language than everyone can understand and I think it is a language conceived in service of Beauty, Universe, Love.

If you want to know more about art and have an interesting point of view I wouls suggest you to contact Prof. Carol Sphar. She is an art teacher at “Hathaway Brown” School (Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Ohio) and she is a friend of mine. I'm sending her email to Teacher Ling.
I think she would be pleased to give you further ideas about art and in particular about art and peace.

Have also a look at this site: http://smartmuseum.uchicago.edu/smartkids/.
Complete the survey and enter.
Have also a look at these games for young artists:

Dearest Brian,
Thank you so much for your researches and your support!

I wish you a wonderful summer!

Italy in my eye(Brian)

I think that Italy is a well organized and beautiful country. Their schools and buildings are very special and small, they seem to think Taiwan as an special or weird island. A lot of artists are from Italy, like Leonardo Da Vinci, Bernini, Donatello and Michelangelo. Andrea Mennella is a nice and patient person, he answers every question I posted on the blog, and some times asks me some questions. When I mentioned the island near Taiwan, Penghu, He actually told a tour to Penghu! Taiwan people usually have conflicts or argue a lot, but not like Italian people, they can listen and make suggestions, so they don’t have arguments and conflicts, Italians are also very kind, very generous and has a lot of patience. Andrea gave me lots of information on their and our country, if I were in Italy, I would collect some information on Italy’s history sites, and learn their culture. I would have a good time in Italy, because I could make some more friends, take pictures of the scenery, and breath some fresh air instead of unhealthy, smelly pollution. I think that Italy is far much better than Taiwan, I wish I could go there sometime.

Good morning; In Italian we say Buon giorno!

Eleonora's mother is Italian and Eleonora's father is from the Usa.

She has an uncle and a little cousin in Taiwan. Eleonora told me that they could be soon in Italy visiting her. If possible we will invite them to our school for a lesson about Taiwan.

Eleonora loves your country.Her father travels for his work and he often visits your Taiwan!

Have you ever visited Europe or Italy?
