   As a professional sculptor it is a HUGE bummer to hear this–I had been looking forward to getting to Sanyi on my next trip to Taiwan. I still have not been able to see most of the non Chinese imported ceramic work in Yingko or the museum there. In Sanyi, is a lot of the carving imported now from China and Thailand like a lot of the ceramics in Yingko?

   Joel, lemme know when you come here and Hui-Chen and i will drive you there.

   i haven’t seen any Thai products in Sanyi (but i haven’t asked specifically about Thai products there), but i have seen Vietnamese furniture items, such as my teapot display. as far as i can tell, there is still a lot of carving going on in Sanyi. everywhere i go i can see work-in-progress. its just that the festival aspect was poorly planned/executed.
