Andromeda shackled to the rock. The statue is part of a visiting exhibition from the Louvre, a museum based in Paris, Western Europe's France.
Not content with lumbering Taiwan with a string of farcical designations, including Chinese Taipei for most internationally-sanctioned events (even on home turf), Taiwan, Province of China all over the Internet, and the ridiculously clunky Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu at the WTO, Xinhua recently decided to go one further.
A colleague alerted me to this slideshow on the Louvre exhibition currently on show at the National Palace Museum, which informs readers that the event is taking place in “Taipei, Southeast China’s Taiwan.” Nice. I was initially surprised that Xinhua’s beady-eyed subs had allowed the “National” part of the museum’s name to slip through the net until I checked again. They hadn’t.
Dear me.
Have you ever been to Northern England’s Edinburgh? It’s pretty splendid..
Alas, hwenhwen, I have yet to make it there, though I did once visit the rather less culturally glamorous enclave of Glasgow. As much fun as I had, I don’t think I’ll claim it for Old Albion! Northeast Northern Ireland, perhaps? Or Deep South Faroe Islands?!
I would love to visit the palace museum in southeast china’s taiwan. Hopefully some day soon. Best Regards – Robt Gignac
