Yoga, food, crafts, art, bars, booze, acrobats and, yes, music will all feature as part of Spring Scream (春天吶喊), one of the nation’s oldest and biggest music festivals, which will be held this weekend at Oluanpi Lighthouse National Park (鵝鑾鼻燈塔國家公園), 8km from Kenting.
There will be 150 acts from around the world -- mainly Taiwan, Japan and Korea -- performing on the venue’s five stages. The music will cover the entire gamut of genres including funk, metal, rock ‘n’ roll, punk rock, indie music, hip-hop, DJs, fusion and shoegaze, to name a few.
This year will also feature the Oceansound Yoga Festival, three days of yoga, music, art and food.

The festival offers a shuttle bus service from Kenting to the venue. The bus picks revelers close to the Caesar Hotel and stops at the campground and then the venue.
For Spring Scream participants, the South Point Campground is offering camping for NT$200 per person. The campgrounds are a few minute walk from the Spring Scream site.
There are five campgrounds in the same area that also provide showers and toilets, though organizers say the campgrounds are not affiliated with the event. Be sure to bring your own tent and sleeping bag. The average price per person is between NT$150 and NT$300, though rates go up during holiday weekends.

■ Tomorrow, Sunday and Monday from noon until midnight
■ Tickets are NT$966 to NT$3,000, available online with KKtix and all Family Mart convenient stores through the FamiPort
Last week, Viola Zhou published a marvelous deep dive into the culture clash between Taiwanese boss mentality and American labor practices at the Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) plant in Arizona in Rest of World. “The American engineers complained of rigid, counterproductive hierarchies at the company,” while the Taiwanese said American workers aren’t dedicated. The article is a delight, but what it is depicting is the clash between a work culture that offers employee autonomy and at least nods at work-life balance, and one that runs on hierarchical discipline enforced by chickenshit. And it runs on chickenshit because chickenshit is a cultural
My previous column Donovan’s Deep Dives: The powerful political force that vanished from the English press on April 23 began with three paragraphs of what would be to most English-language readers today incomprehensible gibberish, but are very typical descriptions of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) internal politics in the local Chinese-language press. After a quiet period in the early 2010s, the English press stopped writing about the DPP factions, the factions changed and eventually local English-language journalists could not reintroduce the subject without a long explanation on the context that would not fit easily in a typical news article. That previous
April 29 to May 5 One month before the Taipei-Keelung New Road (北基新路) was set to open, the news that US general Douglas MacArthur had died, reached Taiwan. The military leader saw Taiwan as an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” that was of huge strategic value to the US. He’d been a proponent of keeping it out of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hands. Coupled with the fact that the US had funded more than 50 percent of the road’s construction costs, the authorities at the last minute renamed it the MacArthur Thruway (麥帥公路) for his “great contributions to the free world and deep
Years ago, I was thrilled when I came across a map online showing a fun weekend excursion: a long motorcycle ride into the mountains of Pingtung County (屏東) going almost up to the border with Taitung County (台東), followed by a short hike up to a mountain lake with the mysterious name of “Small Ghost Lake” (小鬼湖). I shared it with a more experienced hiking friend who then proceeded to laugh. Apparently, this road had been taken out by landslides long before and was never going to be fixed. Reaching the lake this way — or any way that would
