困坐愁城 - 台北篇

困坐愁城

Life in Taipei in the time of Covid-19

3/17/2020

這些日子來，加州及全球多數地區在鎖城甚或鎖國之下，心情鬱悶不在話下。找些事來排遣多餘時間及外界無形壓力，給平淡無變化的蝸居日子添點生趣。於是有了這些圖片和文字，寄上兩則「困坐愁城」- Taipei in the time of Corvid-19 野人獻曝，把自己的家居生活點滴曬出來，和各位分享：

This is what was like in Hong Kong back in 2003 
under the thick stormy clouds of SARS.  In the shopping mall
almost everyone was wearing a mask
Here’s the

“Three masketeers”

That was then, this is now
Here I am in Taipei
I put on a face mask with a pair of huge sunglasses 
under my wide brim hat
Wrapped my neck several layers
with a scarf 

before I step out of the door

像不像個蒙面大盜？


Long lines in front of the pharmacy dispensing facial masks

You can’t even see name of Pharmacy at the end

Here’s a sketch of the face mask waiting line
台北市的新風景線 - 口罩大軍

This is what gets put on dinner table

the first few days initially 
after my arrival

in Taipei

This is what I had for breakfast this morning at my quarter

A cup of drip coffee without sugar or cream

One or two small scone & a rice roll 能量棒

Plus my daily dosage of medication and supplements 

Two birds strolling on top of the 

Seveillance camera

Trying to detect crumbs or food bits to eat

Appearing from balconies of apartment buildings in alleys 

An assortment of colorful banners in full display 

都市巷弄𥚃的萬國旗展

母親尚能走動的年代

常帶她到附近公園的健身活動區
