Heading to almost every corner of Taiwan, from pacific ocean Orchid Island, to the southern mountains of Wutai, to the river plains of Fataãn Hualien, Taichung and far reaches in Taipei my legs can't pedal to. The other half, Ive been handing out in gratitude, to people who have contributed to the project here and made it possible, art centres, foundations, grants, news media, individuals, only 15 very limited books will be available for public purchase at vendors in Taipei.

7 May– Approached a vendor, a book store Youhe Book shop 有河書店 in Taipei to showcase the books. Unfortunately I only had 15 books prepared for public sale in Taiwan, the other 65 books were distributed to the indigenous communities, art centres, foundations, art programmers and individuals who have supported this art research in Taiwan. Another photography book store was shortlisted, but I ran out of books before I could reach out to them.

25 March– In preparation for the trip to Taiwan, I have engaged a translator, Amity Zhang, who graciously did the whole book for a small fee. I made a small bookmark containing the QR code to the book online in Traditional Chinese.
