Interpretation Experiences

2018 Island Dynamics International Conference

An Island of an Island

This event was held on the windy island of Lanyu (蘭嶼; or literally "Orchid Island").

There were goats on the rocky terrain and ruins, both operational and not, made of stone slabs and each telling a story of natural erosion and a culturally primitive past--a culture that enjoyed a closer and friendlier relationship to nature, in stark contrast to the Geiger counters constantly monitoring the risk of radiation that the residents' shoulder on behalf of the entire mother-island of Taiwan. You may see their Facebook page here.

That's me in blue on the right.
