Painting isn't just for people. This pig is a painter too!
This pig's name is Pinto. Since he doesn't have any hands, Pinto can't use a brush to paint. Instead, he uses other parts of his body.
First, Pinto puts his face and hooves in a bowl of paint. Then he walks over to a piece of paper on the ground and rubs the paint all over it. Sometimes he gets more paint on himself than he gets on the piece of paper.

But Pinto doesn't just use paint. Sometimes he also takes his food and puts it on the painting too.

繪畫可不是人類的專利,這隻豬也是畫家。
牠的名字叫「Pinto」。因為牠沒有手,無法使用刷子作畫,所以牠就改用身體的其它部位。
首先,Pinto 把鼻子和腳蹄放進一碗畫料裡,然後在地板的紙上走來走去,四處塗上畫料。
有時候牠自己沾上的畫料比塗在紙上的還多。
不過,Pinto 不只會用畫料,還會把自己的食物拿來作畫。
下次你在吃自己不喜歡的食物時,可別丟掉,用來創作藝術品吧! (台北時報)

Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
