This weekend, the popular Huashan 1914 Creative Park will host an event celebrating Taipei’s young creatives. The “Weave My Dream” (築夢市集) event caters to millennial and Generation Z artists.
The venue, an old wine factory now converted into a bustling hipster marketplace, is the perfect backdrop for such an event. “Weave My Dream” will serve as a microcosm of the distinct culture and aesthetic that has emerged among Taipei’s young people, exhibiting a fusion between Taiwanese and Western creative styles.
One section of the market will consist of creative exhibitions and performances. From JUTEBAG (潮麻包), a traditional Taiwanese bag creator, to Crafttopia Taipei (六悅佳居), an innovative pottery store, diverse artistic disciplines will showcase or sell their work around the venue.

During construction on the third-generation station in 2017, workers discovered the service pit for the original station’s locomotive depot. A year later, a small wooden building on site was determined by historians to be the first stationmaster’s office, built around 1908. With these findings, the Taichung Railway Station Cultural Park now boasts that it has
The latest Formosa poll released at the end of last month shows confidence in President William Lai (賴清德) plunged 8.1 percent, while satisfaction with the Lai administration fared worse with a drop of 8.5 percent. Those lacking confidence in Lai jumped by 6 percent and dissatisfaction in his administration spiked up 6.7 percent. Confidence in Lai is still strong at 48.6 percent, compared to 43 percent lacking confidence — but this is his worst result overall since he took office. For the first time, dissatisfaction with his administration surpassed satisfaction, 47.3 to 47.1 percent. Though statistically a tie, for most
As Donald Trump’s executive order in March led to the shuttering of Voice of America (VOA) — the global broadcaster whose roots date back to the fight against Nazi propaganda — he quickly attracted support from figures not used to aligning themselves with any US administration.

In Moscow, Margarita Simonyan, the hardline editor-in-chief of the
Six weeks before I embarked on a research mission in Kyoto, I was sitting alone at a bar counter in Melbourne. Next to me, a woman was bragging loudly to a friend: She, too, was heading to Kyoto, I quickly discerned. Except her trip was in four months. And she’d just pulled an all-nighter booking restaurant reservations. As I snooped on the conversation, I broke out in a sweat, panicking because I’d yet to secure a single table.
