Thousands Set to Attend the Next Massive Free Beach Party at Cijin Island

The Spring Break organizers are continuing their collaboration with Sunset Beach Bar and the Kaohsiung Tourism Bureau to make Cijin Island’s gigantic free beach party even bigger. This time the festival will go two days, feature over 20 performers and add a second sound setup!

On Saturday, September 22nd and Sunday, September 23rd, On the Beach and Cijin Sunset Bar 旗津沙灘吧 will host their next massive beach event.

Music and activities start just after noon, including sporting events during daytime hours. There’s a full lineup of DJs and entertainers on stage until at least 10pm. Party goers won’t wanna miss the Bikini Dance Contest with a cash prize on stage a little after 8pm.

Getting to Cijin is pretty easy with Kaohsiung’s excellent public transport system. But many party goers, male and female alike, will don bikinis and ride public shared bikes directly to the Cijin Ferry Terminal as part of the Bikini Bike Ride event.

The sight of 100 or so bikini wearing cyclists is pretty sure to make an impression on people along the planned route from Brickyard to the ferry. Participants will enjoy some free drinks courtesy of Superbock when they arrive at the Free the Beach Venue a bit after 3pm.

For people who wanna skip the bike ride, an MRT ride to Xiziwan Station and a short walk to the Cijin ferry terminal is not too difficult. NSYSU students just have to walk 5 minutes from their campus to the ferry. Organizers are strongly urging people to travel to Cijin Island very early to avoid overloading the ferries that leave every 15 minutes or so and take about 7 minutes from the terminal to the island.

Free the Beach is totally Free, but attendees are asked to support the effort of the organizers and sponsors by purchasing drinks and food from the bar and official vendors.

Taiwan Tourism Bureau helps set up SunMoon Lake proposal for Israeli model Bar Zomer

Bar in Qipao outside Regent Taipei

Landing in Taipei on Taiwanese Valentine’s Day, Israeli supermodel Bar Zomer had no idea what the week had in-store for her. After being invited by the Taiwan Tourism Bureau (TTB) on a promotional familiarization tour of some of the the most popular sites and foods Taiwan has to offer, TTB had in fact worked in secret with Aviv Cohen (her boyfriend of 5 years), to plan the perfect proposal in Taiwan.

Starting with a “surprise” upgrade on her Cathay Pacific flight from Tel Aviv to Taipei was just the beginning. TTB also secured an upgraded room for the couple from Regent Taipei, one of the finest hotels in the country. The hotel also arranged for a photoshoot to take place for Bar and Aviv on their first day, in which they both wore traditional Taiwanese clothing – A Qipao dress for Bar, and a Changpao with Magua (Men’s robe and jacket) for Aviv.

Following the photoshoot, the couple were taken around parts of old Taipei, such as Dihua Street, Yongle Fabric Market and the Dadaocheng Dock, where Bar and Aviv saw the beautifully restored architecture and many of the stores that continue to operate in the traditions of generations past.

Bar and Aviv then walked around Ximending shopping district, arguably the most popular area in Taipei for young people and tourists alike. There they browsed the many vendors of hand-crafted gifts and fashion accessories, whose boutiques adjoin the Red House Theater. A recent trend that has swept the nation is the prevalence of claw machine stores, where players insert a coin to test their skill (or luck) in grabbing a prize. The young duo were quick to jump in, playing a dozen rounds before Aviv managed to win a Dragonball Z keychain.

After lunch, was a visit to Huashan 1914 Creative Park, one of Taiwan’s old factory areas that have been converted into trendy art spaces, cafes and retail. This was followed by a trip to Songshan Ciyou Temple, a decadent temple dedicated to the worship of Mazu, a sea goddess, then a walk around Raohe Street Night Market.

On the second day of Bar and Aviv’s trip, the couple took Taiwan’s High Speed Rail from Taipei to Taichung in less than an hour.

Taiwan is a paradise of beautiful landscapes, natural hot and cold springs, many beaches and stunning sites that make it a popular destination as a romantic getaway for people, while many others travel to and around Taiwan for their wedding photos. One particularly popular location for couples to take their photos is Sun Moon Lake in Nantou County. This picturesque place was chosen by Aviv as the site for his proposal to Bar. Working with The Lalu, a hotel that overlooks Sun Moon Lake, TTB booked an upgraded room for the lovebirds.

It was in the afternoon at The Lalu that Aviv’s proposal took place. Staging a photoshoot at one of the outdoor walkways at their hotel, the ring had been hidden in in a lotus in a pond at the hotel, so when Aviv removed his shoes and waded into the water to get it, Bar was naturally confused as to what was happening. However, coming out of the water and getting down on one knee made everything clear, and of course she said “Yes!”, releasing much of the stress Aviv had pent up trying to avoid her discovering the engagement ring he bought and hid with him throughout their journey! The newly engaged couple still have a few more days in Taiwan, which they can now fully enjoy under their upgraded relationship status.

After Proposal at Sun Moon Lake

Dr. Trust H.J. Lin, Director of the Taiwan Tourism Bureau’s office in charge of the Middle East had this to say about the “The Taiwan Tourism Bureau, and our partners Cathay Pacific, Regent Taipei and The Lalu all wish Bar and Aviv a long and happy life together, and invite other couples from Israel and around the world to come to Taiwan for their own trips of love, discovery and adventure.”

Taiwan National Clean Up

Taiwan’s National Clean Up Event is in its second year running this coming May 20, 2018 and will take place in twelve locations across Taiwan:

Sponsored by Roxy and organized by Taiwan Adventure Outings (TAO) in partnership with several international and local enterprises, the event is set to make an even larger positive impact this year.

The national event aims to bring environmental awareness to those living in Taiwan, as well as provide fun outdoor activities for families and individuals both young and old.

Every month, for the last two years, TAO, an environmentally conscious adventure company, has been hosting free beach and forest clean up events, with the goal of bringing communities together for environmental conservation, education and engagement.

The average Taiwan resident consumes an estimate of 800 plastic bags a year.

Globally the equivalent of one garbage truck per minute is being dumped in the oceans. Taiwan’s unique geographical location means it is prone to waste washing up on its shores.

Taiwan aims to be free of plastic by 2030, and already the Environmental Protection Agency has banned single-use bags in seven industries this year. Local initiatives like the Taiwan National Clean Up are essential to provide awareness and education about everyday plastic consumption to realize these goals.

The public is welcome to host clean up events in their local area, or join in on existing ones by contacting TAO at the email below or at the Facebook event links above.

My cyberbullying experience and what it means for safety of kids online

Are your kids truly safe on social media?

By Quintin Dormehl

This is a question most parents have had to ask at least once or twice in their lives; and with everything going on recently, who can blame them? Dominating the headlines the past few weeks were the Facebook scandal where Cambridge Analytica mined data from Facebook users without their permission, as well as Melania Trump vowing to take on cyberbullying even thought she shares a roof with a person who constantly belittles and bullies people online. Even though Facebook and Twitter has been at the center of these controversies, it is important for parents to better understand how social media influences their children, especially with regard to cyberbullying.

I have been an avid user of social media from the days of MySpace until now. I have profiles on multiple platforms where I enjoy interacting with people from across the world, and share my life and special events with those who follow me. For the most part, I have enjoyed my experience, except for the occasional weird encounter, but this all changed 48 hours ago. I have recently started using Instagram, and as a whole it has been an interesting experience, but 48 hours ago a person using the pseudonym Ally started posting homophobic messages, that are clearly hate speech and of a bullying nature, on my profile.

“@therealprincecharming gays are cancers. And your body is full of F*** FAGGOT VIRUSES!!!!!!!!!” (1)

q cyberbullying article 3

“@therealprincecharming What? You want to let viruses like gay spread all over the world. I mean you can say gay is the right of every human being and in a few years you will say pedophile is the right of every human being. legalize something sin and wrongdoing? you are really sick” (2)

Cyberbullying instagram comments

Being an adult, I can fend for myself, and I do not put too much stock in what people like this think about me or my lifestyle, but I started wondering how these kinds of things influence younger social media users. My friends and I reported the user and the comments to Instagram, and I waited to see how long Instagram would take to help a user that was being bullied. To my surprise, 15 hours later, my friends and I got messages from Instagram stating:

“therealprincehcharming, thank you for taking the time to report cijeah24’s account. While we reviewed the account you reported for hate speech or symbols and found it does not violate our Community Guidelines, reports like yours are an important part of making Instagram a safe and welcoming place for everyone.” (2)

Cyberbullying reported

 

Saying that I was disappointed with Instagram’s response to cyberbullying would be the understatement of the year. Their lack of taking responsibility for their users could have real world consequences. Peng Hsin-y, aka ‘Cindy’ (a Taiwanese celebrity), committed suicide in April 2015 after being bullied online.  A study done by the Child Welfare League Foundation (CWLF) in 2015 found that “approximately 74.1% of students considered online bullying a problem [and only] 43% of bullying victims sought help from website managers, teachers or professional counselors; 42% reacted by retaliating.” (3)

 

Statistics like these paint a dark picture of the world our youth is entering. According to the Instagram help website, Instagram requires their users to be aged 13 or older (4) but according to the Instagram application, it is “rated for 12+” (5). Even though this is a minor detail, how can we trust a company like Instagram to keep our children safe, when they can’t even agree on a common age across their own platform? The reason why age restrictions are so important is because young people absorb things differently than adults do. Whereas adults might brush off some negative comments, young people sometimes internalize it, which could lead to depression, anti-social behavior or even thoughts about committing suicide. How are social media companies keeping our youth safe?

I tried to contact Instagram via their own medium which didn’t work, so then I tried contacting them through Facebook by posting on their fan pages as well as tagging them in a comment with screenshots of the hate speech that I received. I have yet to receive a response other than the one mentioned earlier.

If there was an infant car seat out there that only worked 70% or 80% of the time, would you still take the risk of letting your child be strapped into it? If your answer is no, then why would you allow your child to be on social media, such as Instagram, where his/her mental wellbeing could be in danger? “Seven per cent of young social network users said they had been bullied on the Facebook-owned photo app.” (6) Even if your child gathered the courage to report the person bullying him/her, then what is the guarantee that Instagram would resolve the matter in a timely manner? Speaking from experience, I would not bet on it.

If someone is being bullied, regardless age or sex, it is the company’s responsibility to step in and put a stop to it. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. So I will ask you again, “Are your kids truly safe on social media?”

Spring Break on the Beach has continued this tradition the last 5 years with an average annual attendance of over 10,000 people. Taiwan’s growing interest in beach culture has fueled the festival’s rise and made it consistently one of the most memorable parties of the year.

Organized sporting events will include ultimate frisbee, beach soccer, american football, volleyball and brazilian jiujitsu. During the day DJs will spin latin, hip hop, reggae and other beach jams. Guests can swim in one of several swimming pools overlooking the beach and take advantage of an open bar serving bottomless beer and cocktails from 3pm to 6pm both days.

After the sun goes down, the energy will rise and DJs and dancers will take the party up a notch. This year, the organizers are bringing DJ B Jones, a staple of the world’s most famous beach party scene. She has held residencies at Ibiza’s Pacha, Mambo, KM5, Nassau Beach Club, Blue Marlin and Privilege.

Rounding out 2018’s festival bill are over 50 local and international performers, including ICRT personalities DJ Chamber and Famous, Elektro Taipei’s Double G, Triangle Taipei’s DJ Crosscutz, 18TC’s Alex36, Brickyard resident international lady of mystery, DJ MoneyDick, and many others.

Party goers have a chance to be part of the entertainment too. Each night at 8pm, the infamous Bikini Dance Off gives participants, both male and female, 30 seconds to impress the crowd. The winner receives a cash prize of NT$10,000. Contestants are reminded not to break Taiwan’s public decency laws in their quest to impress.
Early bird tickets are sold out.

A Women’s Mental Health Support Group: Going Beyond and Changing the Society for The Better

Depression has been regarded by the UN World Health Organization as the three major diseases of the new century. According to the UN World Health Organization, there are at least about 50 million people with depression in Asia and their numbers are on the rise. By 2020, depression and heart disease will have become the top two diseases that affect human lives. Currently, there are about 2 million people suffering from depression in Taiwan, and 97% of them don’t reach out for help.

Now WARM (Women Anonymous Reconnecting Mentally) is trying to do something about it. WARM (Women Anonymous Reconnecting Mentally) is a women’s mental health support group in Taipei. Since December, 2017, WARM has been supporting women’s mental health, and has become a necessary part of their members’ lives. WARM IS THE FIRST AND ONLY mental health support group in Taiwan. WARM has been improving and inspiring women’s lives for the better since December, 2017.

Mental illness is extremely stigmatized in Taiwan. Treatments of depression in Taiwanese clinics are poorly covered by health insurance, it only covers about 2% to 4% of the expenses. On top of that, a single therapy session can cost about 100-120 USD.

In WARM, women meet up every Sunday. WARM provides women in Taiwan a safe platform to discuss anything that is plaguing their mental health. Generally speaking, in Taiwan, a therapy session is 50 minutes a week, a doctor’s visit is about 10-20 minutes a week, once we leave the clinics, we are all on our own again. WARM is trying to break that cycle and create a community that offers support 24/7. WARM further posts encouraging posts in their Facebook group and interactive questions or weekly challenges, such as: “look into the mirror and say ‘I accept you’ for three times, comment below and get a chance on this exclusive WARM gift”. WARM makes sure that they incentivize women every single day without failing.

In WARM, women are empowered by listening and sharing. Topics which were previously considered “unspeakable” or “weak”, or something to “be ashamed of” for women are now being spoken and discussed. Sensitive topics such as rape, abortion, body image and abuse are boldly discussed in WARM. They have given their members a voice and a place to talk about their traumas. More importantly, WARM is a place for women to find closure, support and healing. WARM exemplifies that mental health is as important as physical health, no one chooses to be sick voluntarily.

Recently WARM has been featured in the Taiwan Observer, Taiwan News, Taipei Times, and ICRT. This shows how much society needs them and the important jobs they are doing. They are not a group therapy but a support group. They do not offer professional treatment to “fix” people, but guide their members to seek professional help outside of the group when necessary. The WARM meeting style is based on the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) format, providing a safe platform for women to share and encourage each other. WARM has a safe and effective platform for women with mental health related issues. It has been proven by past meetings that WARM’s structure is more than helpful to their members.

WARM holds their weekly meetings at MOWES, a community space run by and for women. Besides their weekly Sunday meetings, they have various events dedicated to mental health at different venues with a wide selection of partners to collaborate with. WARM is the true example of what happens when people unite, speak up and raise their voice for themselves. WARM believes: together, we can fight anything, even the profound stigma of mental illness. WARM is trying their best to not just be a support group, but a cause for de-stigmatizing mental health and raising awareness about mental health. WARM’s ultimate goal is that hopefully, WARM won’t need to exist one day. When that day comes, hopefully, we can walk up to a stranger, and say “Hey, I don’t know you, but I support you.”.

Taipei 101 released a simulation of this year’s fireworks display (video)

Taipei 101 has released a minute long preview video of this years fireworks display. This is a video simulating what will be the view of the 101 tower as it holds the longest fireworks display in its history. The fireworks and light display will run for 6 minutes, from 11:59pm to 12:05am, about 2 minutes longer than last year’s show. This year the fireworks will be accompanied by a giant 55 story tall LED light show. Approximately 140,000 LED lights will light up the tower on New Year’s Eve this year.

Better get there early if you want god seats. People usually start staking their spots in the afternoon to get the best views. The Taiwan Observer community has expressed great interest in going to see that show, we hope this preview makes it even more enticing.
