Here are some photos that I thought I would share with ya'll.These are from my recent trip out to Taiwan. DJ Finatk and myself were booked to do a show at recently opened nightclub - Champagne 3 in Taipei, Taiwan. Out of all the places in the world, I never thought I would find myself out in Taiwan DJing. The night was WILD. The club was like 70% females and there were girls on podiums in mini skirts in front of us dancing and a crew of women in a shower behind us dancing too! The owners of the club kept the bottles of the Belvedere flowing and it was all gravy, aside from the fact that the police came in the club about 5 minutes into our set and turned on the lights to check work visas and other club permits. Thankfully, we were all in check and the night carried on...I stayed out there for 2 weeks and took in as much of the culture that I could. I managed to get dusty in them crates and try some weird food... oh, and on the record tip, people in Taiwan is SLEEPIN', I'm gunna get back there and scoop up all the shit I left behind. There are literally records for days out there, not in record stores either. The hip-hop scene is pretty non-existant out there when compared to the INSANE scene that nearby neighbour Japan has... the night markets are the illest part of being in Taiwan -- Tons of tasty bootleg stuff from Bathing Ape, Evisu, etc. FUN FUN FUN. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality.Hope you enjoy these pics! I threw in some Engrish I saw along the way too...peace. BevanThe FlierDr. MilkerI think this worked??Tepanyaki is inexpensive in Taiwan and very delicious! Speaking of food, it seems that everything in Taiwan comes powdered with Pepper, just a warning if you don't like pepper...Taipei 101, the worlds TALLEST buildingBAPE Taiwan. I left a fingerprint on the door and the store manager seemed very angry. Watch yourself! BAPE mutherfuckers take themselves way too serious..."Funny Fish"... I think this was a clothing store...

JYEAH!Don't fuck with Garu he will fuck you up.Nice audiophile style turntable at some high end record store in TaipeiScooters EVERYWHERE out there...The streets of Taipei are flooded with little market stalls like this one. I was told I had to try the fried chicken, it didn't look too safe but I fucked with it anyway. It was quite delicious and cost about $2 for a piece of chicken about the size of an A4 sheet of paper chopped and drenched in pepper powder.Another market stall of various Taiwanese treatsAwesome stencil work..Come on, someone MUST have known...Tried to go to this store 4 times, never managed to get up in there. Called the owners celly and he promised he would be there, rocked up, no there everytime. Fuck him.I like this shirt.

    what kind of digital camera do you have?

    Canon Ixy Digital 60. 5.0 Megapixels.

    It was the latest model out when I left Japan in November last year. There was a 6 Megapixel one, but it didn't have the MACRO function to allow for super-clear "up-close" shots. You gotta fiddle around with the settings on the camera depending on what situation you're in, but once you get it sussed out, you're good to go. Highly recommended. I spent a month tryin' to find the best camera to get, and this was easily at the top of the pile for the price.

    peace.

    Dope. I have a bulky Digital rebel SLr , but was looking for a nice point and shoot and am digging the flicks your camera takes.

    nice sheep!

    my superhommie and record digging "mentor" just moved back to taipei on monday. me sad. and jealous. prolly having a bowl of beef noodle stew and pouring out some broth for the hommies.

    he mentioned that even in the dead of night when its silent outside, you can still here the hum of electricity or something. he said it fucked with his mind and he'd have to go out to the countryside to get away from it.

    Hey thanks for sharing the pics, Bevan. My family is from Taipei, but I've never been there myself. And for some reason, never really had the interest to go. Never thought there'd actually be records there either. I think it just got bumped up on the list of places I want to visit. Good stuff mang.

    Kevin! LOL!!!! Yo Bevan, did this guy ask you to join "The program" for $1500.00 a month? Did he tell you that Warren G and Kay Gee are in the program? TOO FUNNY!
