Freemantle Perth for Mural Monday

 


Back in the days I went to Perth for a medical exam, I struggled to calm my nerves. So I took my camera out for a spin in the posh area of Freemantle. 


It was in 2011 I think. The year I passed exam too. So I love this city very much lol. A plate of pasta at the time cost me 48 AUD. It was still quite expensive by today's standard!

Kang Rice Wine - famous in Qing Dynasty

 


Just like the modern days, Kang is the powerful family that controls sale of salt, wine and sugar. It plays a major role in SilkRoad trade too. His family home is bigger than the size of forbidden city. The whole city like mansion is preserved till this day.


The sign says "Kang Hudred Million Wine" 

The words on sides of the door reads "There are all sorts of wine in the world" "Nothing beats the wine from Kang"

Old Chinese painting passed on in the family

 


I have a large family. Over 200 cousins that I could not count them all. It has been 3 years since I return to Taiwan. There were many wonderful items passed down the family tree. This was one of them. 


I am not sure if this was a real painting or a fake one. The dress code was from Manchurian period with a pig tail. Quite a scenic background too. There is a lot of western painting influence for this one.

South France Border



The trip to France was well worth it. At the peak of the mountains, the gale was incredibly strong. I was almost blown off the edge of the cliff
