Da ja how,
I've recently had the pleasure of traveling to Taiwan in support of über pop-up collector Michael Yang's, The Stunning Pop-Up Book exhibition. This was my second trip to Taiwan with the exhibition and I visited two new cities, Taichung, in central Taiwan, and Kaosiung in the south. The trip was sponsored by United Daily News Group and their affiliates. My hosts were very gracious and fun. I enjoyed the trip very much and the food was incredible.

It just so happened that the pop-up artists, Mairon Bataille (Paris, France), Ray Marshall (Oakland, CA) and Kit Lau (Hong Kong) were in Taiwan at the same time, so the very nice people at UDGN held a press conference and a lunch for these visiting artists at the exhibition. I had just traveled 14 hours on China Airlines, then another 2 hours by car to Taichung. I could barely say my own name, let alone answer questions in a meaningful way at the press conference.
