Cheers to Poohhat for the heads up on this mural off Art Street near Tunghai University. It's a completely different style, but I love seeing this kind of personalisation on property here. It's like someone inside is marching to the beat of a different DJ... or something like that.
The Resistance. Fill me in on the Resistance. What have I been missing?
Art Street is one of those neighborhoods in Taichung where you don't feel like you're in Taichung. I only saw one 7-11, no Starbucks, and the nearest McDonald's was miles away. I'd love to live up there, but it's so far from everything down in the city.
