2005.6.4=6[#155]:4703.4.28[+#155]:T#118 All Lost? mom Osaka/Hsueh US chance & us to Kimoy & cheaper Taiwan cell phone, Dancing shoes.., Nat.Hist.Mus..

Fair mild: one sleep to 6:15, soon all up. 2 sis out buy breakfast, Hsueh talks about mom to Osaka for 2 or 3 months then she accompanies her back to US to stay longer, which later found rather impossible for her to leave Harue family, especially Lisa. Hsiang tel Jung about one of his "classmate" having managed to have family members to go to Kimoy, we all express our desire to do the same, but soon find it's not possible any more. Ying tel and talk with Jung also for long. 10:30am all 4 of us taxi to a fancy dancing shoe store then some cloth stores along Nan-chang St. for some buying by 2 sis, esp. by Jung. Jewel stores for mom's "ruby" ornament without any purchase. With Mei next year? Walk to a Taiwanese-Japanese artists exhibition in the Art Edu. Musuem next to the Nat. Mus. of History, listen an artist explaining just a while, then to the NMofH, reach a downstair speech about the Early Taiwanese arts back up to meet them, mom regrets missing a Dun-huang exh. just over. Upstair to ETa exh of Chinese-style arts, by "3 Lin" artists employed by Ban-chiao Lin family and so on, almost unknown to many of us, because of the Japanese colonial rule. 3rd and 4th floor regular Chinse art, archaeology & history exh, and 5th floor oil paintings and a few sketch seashore & sea scenery exh by a Ping-dung artist & educator, hopefully he will go abroad soon. We have a short coffee break there watching the gold fishes fed lively, after Jung decided to do so though a little expensive. Taxi to the Chiang Kai-shek Mem. Park nearby, to bath myself failing to have them join me, I lost myself unable to find them waiting close for quite a while, rather worried and annoyed but still manage to walk and enjoy one whole long line out of three, of spectacular open photos of Taiwan from space(?), meet the lowering the national flag, then walk after a number of kids imitating and following uniformed flag-lowering men back to near the restrooms and find them walking out after a long, long wait for me. Walk to a very special and small "One soup family" restraurant for a dinner of a delicious dish, rice & Chinese medicine soup of NT$150 each, with 2 personnel there really skinny. Walk back to the park to discover a good competition performance by drama students and so on on a stage backed by a electric artistic lively backgroung, also with a few young lady spectator acting happpily under for a few minutes. Jung prompts mom to give up after about half an hour for home. All off as I want to buy bread and milk, discover a Dagoda cell phone store, sign up for a new cell no. for 2 years, home finish fruits with them then rush to get trash off as Hsiang tells me a better way to have cell phones just for a short times in Taiwan and goes, buy official trash bag home, bath, bed 12:30 after all 3 women already bed.
