Notes: National Geographic magazine by Lin Yi-Hsuan Right now I am sitting in a private car owned by the manager of ICYE in Honduras. It is playing English songs in the car; I am all clean and fresh with my seat belt fastened and enjoying the air conditioning.

Notes: An ordinary man’s confession by Lin Yi-Hsuan I volunteered to be here in order to experience something new and different, I once felt proud with esteem as a volunteer, all the other foreign friends that I met and became acquainted in Honduras also came here to volunteer for various reasons through different routes, I was happy to be part of the voluntary team, to say that I am a volunteer and I am from Taiwan.
Notes: Miami by Lin Yi-Hsuan I’ve been in Miami for almost a week now without any contact address and telephone number, this is the best moment to read the Collected Letters by Rainer Maria Rilke, even though what he is preaching is words and vocabularies, I’d rather think of it as being in Sophie’s World. As if he is giving me lessons across time and space, as if every letter he wrote tells me something about the situations I’m about to encounter.

Toss away things you don't like and get a new one you like. Believe that some day, the world will be different. Or there will be some world, everyday is different....
Der Himmel über Berlin by Weiwei We landed at the same time two weeks ago. He still had two months to go but I needed to head back to my misty city in few days. I asked him what brought him here. He shook his head and said he didn’t really know. ‘But I love it here, so much.’. So we started to count everything we love about Berlin: You could smoke everywhere; You could hold your beer on the tram anytime in the day.....
Pocket Talismans by Carlos Arroyo Galaxia They had a potential from a prior existence, a power that then multiplied the longer I carried them on my person. One piece instinctively drew to another, they were bound together, and their energy fused. They were no longer objects I found. Now I am creating new talismans.

Waterfall: Pocket You pointed at it and said: this is mine. In fact, it’s truly difficult to learn, what is m-i-n-e all about. However, you put these things in your pocket, and they’ll be following you all the time. While you’re walking down the street, they will just bump into each other in the pocket, again and again. Sometimes, they make sounds that remind you of being aware of where they are.
