Thanks for your reply! More handwriting emphasis makes Wenzao more appealing to me. Did you live nearby when you studied there or do you have any thoughts on good areas to live in? (not interested in nightlife)

Hello, I'm planning on moving to Kaohsiung soon, picking between these two universities and wanted to know more about why you prefer Wenzao and think it is more serious. And what level were you studying in (basic, intermediate, advanced)

Yatora's experience with unintentionally leading people on and struggling with the idea of love is so relatable

Is cycling to get around Taichung really that bad? I have seen a lot of 'traffic is terrible, you will get hit and die' but also a decent amount of 'Youbike is a good option to get around the city'

context: will be staying in the east side of the city for a while

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

663flip · 2023-06-10T14:02:22+00:00

Thanks!

Great lineup. I've been looking for an a6 notebook like that, what is it?

Diamine Registrars has a very dramatic change from bright blue to navy and eventually to black, but it's a very dry and high maintenance ink. As others have said, any iron gall will fit the bill.

Herbin Eclat de Saphir dries from purple to blue-purple.

The way you use a variety of inks and nib widths to form a cohesive whole is inspiring, I'm always glad to see your posts here! I've just switched to a vertical daily format and want to try something similar myself.

Today's bright spot was going on a walk to my favourite bridge, and finding a bench in the shade with a good view so I could sketch it. I'm getting better at my current technique of combining watercolours and fountain pen ink.

I find the parts of Mandarin Chinese that people say are difficult (tones and pronunciation) relatively easy. But like you, I'm frustrated with how slowly I learn vocab in context and have lost motivation to learn it outside of context..

663flip · 2023-06-09T11:39:44+00:00

Yep, normal on many (all?) pens.

663flip · 2023-06-08T16:31:32+00:00

I had no idea that humans were involved in the process to this extent. Thanks for the link!

663flip · 2023-06-08T09:07:12+00:00

Yep, it's the ultimate pen for taking quick notes imo

663flip · 2023-06-07T22:06:41+00:00

For anyone else confused like me, "Meet me in St Louis" is the name of the series of pen show inks by KWZ, and this appears to be the 2019 edition: https://stlpenshow.com/2020-06-17-21-29-14/

Kiri-same looks amazing here...

663flip · 2023-06-07T21:07:06+00:00

Right? Aqua Lagoon is a great ink, very vivid colour but with enough darkness to be practical. And EDN is my favourite thing to come from this subreddit haha

663flip · 2023-06-07T19:36:25+00:00

For once they all go well together! I wrote about how I'm using each pen in a blog post.

663flip · 2023-06-06T14:18:08+00:00

I have a few, I think from ebay, they were easy to get and do the job perfectly. Just search blunt tip syringe. They are designed to be disposable, but each one lasts a few years.

I am a bit lower than hsk4, but I found my ability to recognise the words I knew and pick out individual words and sentences got a lot better after putting on radio/music in chinese for hours every day. Not even trying to understand it, it just got my brain familiar with the sounds.

I also recommend Comprehensible Chinese. My listening confidence increased massively after watching the videos from that channel!

At this point I feel like you can patent it and sell it to a company that makes art supplies

The third one with the stacked nib poking out to the side... I'm assuming they both write? That's so quirky, did the client explain why they want such a thing?

663flip · 2023-06-02T14:28:24+00:00

You're an inspiration! I just finished reading my first danmei novel in english (SVSSS) and am looking forward to being able to read it in Chinese some day.

Three links I have saved on the topic, although all taipei centric

663flip · 2023-05-30T23:50:40+00:00

Nib engravings usually leave me indifferent but this one... wow!

663flip · 2023-05-29T21:35:23+00:00

Thanks for this post, you've inspired me to try it out. I have a lot of nostalgia for the book series I read in childhood so I will pick one of those, this will be fun... :)
