Recently, I was watching the taiwanese variety show - Big Brother ( 綜藝大哥大) and one of their highlights is the puppet opera. I used to think that puppet opera is already outdated in singapore and less appealing to young people nowadays but after I watched the show I was so impressed how the taiwanese people able to turn the traditional puppet opera into such an interesting and exciting performance. This demostrated that traditional arts can still be very attractive and popular with modern lifestyle if you know how to re-market them.

p.s: I really missed the Taiwanese delicious street food, their vibrant night market and their friendly people. I hope I can go there again and to see their puppet opera performance in live.
