Pop diva Chang Hui-mei, also known as A-mei, is holding an outdoor concert to promote her new album, Story Thief, at Commune A7 in Taipei’s Xinyi District on Sunday. She has promised her fans a spectacular show.
Not long ago, tens of thousands of A-mei’s fans lined up at three locations in northern, central and southern Taiwan on the same day - to get tickets by exchanging the cardboard packaging of her album. All the tickets were gone within three hours.
Meanwhile, tickets for Canadian superstar Celine Dion’s Taipei concerts went on sale last week. Originally, Dion planned to put on two shows at the Taipei Arena, on July 11 and 13, but demand was so high the system was temporarily paralyzed by the sheer number of fans trying to buy them. Taiwan’s Kuang Hong Arts Management Incorporation, the event organizer, later announced there would be an extra show, on July 14.

Australia’s strict immigration policies have long been criticized, particularly for how they treat people with disabilities. Having been residents of Australia for years, Scottish Laura Currie and her Italian partner, Dante Vendittelli, recently experienced the impact of these immigration policies. Their son Luca, born in Australia and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, became the reason their residency application was denied due to the anticipated high healthcare costs. Had Luca been healthy, there would have been no objections to their permanent residency. This case not only highlights discrimination against disabled individuals, but also raises questions about fairness and inclusion within Australia’s immigration
A ‘Dutch angle’ is a classic camera technique that has been used in filmmaking since the 1920s, when it was introduced to Hollywood by German Expressionists. Why is it called the Dutch angle if it’s actually German? In fact, it has no __1__ to the Netherlands. The term “Dutch” is widely believed to be a misinterpretation of “Deutsch,” which means German in the German language.
