Shaved Ice at Snow Bro in Taipei

And sometimes I love to paint the scenery of the delicious food while I travel...

Shaved Ice in Taiwan is a wonderful treat in the hot melting summer months.  Snow Bro is a very cool dessert place with lots of topping options for your shaved ice or snow ice... the service guys are quick and hip and the mango special is to die for... here are the two offerings we tried.

EV Toyota and dragonfly pattern “蜻蛉” or “勝虫”

Some time before the TeamLab exhibition viewing, I toured the Toyota exhibit with my daughter.  We found a cool EV car! Reminds me of the classic Messerschmidt vehicle...

A weekend house facing to the Sagami Bay with view to Mt. Fuji and Enoshima. The site is just 3 x 8m with 60% of footprint, and the building has become 3-stories almost automatically because the ground floor had to be a piloti by consideration of the storm surge. It seemed difficult to avoid blocking the view of the neighborhood behind. So I designed a large openings both at the sea-side and the road-side in order to keep the view passing through the building during the absence of the owner. And there is a view to the mountains at the road-side indeed. It stands between land and sea and became a house as a window to see through each other.
