the aboriginal song (called Elders Drinking Song) is for drinking (alcohol) originally. the last picture showed the husband, the singer, and his wife, singer,too. The summary of the end of the video is that they met and fell in love with each other because of singing and passed away successively in 2002.

Thanks for the background about this song, Dominic! I think a lot of people know this song but not many know it's from a Taiwanese aboriginal tribe. Very interesting!

#namefacts In Chinese, many people have a two-character first name. Some Chinese families like to have all the children in the same generation use the same first character in their first name. So my name, my sister's name and all my cousins' names begin with "子."
If you're able to see the genealogy program "Faces of America", they went to China to do some of Yo-Yo Ma's genealogy and I believe his family used the same naming convention. I can't remember how the character was chosen, I just remember that it was chosen far in advance and dictated to each generation. http://www.pbs.org/wnet...

So it's really one of Chinese old style or Chinese old tradition.

My English name is Dominic because my Chinese names has a "duh" sound in it. My mother said I could be either "Dominic" or "Douglas." I didn't want to be called "Douglas" because it sounds like "dog."
That's why Dominic is here. #namefacts
I like the name Dominic (or Dominick). I've seriously considered that as a possible name for a future son. I'll have to ask Harold what he thinks of it.

does it really save more space? or just "cool"? XD
- dominic
It really does save more space. The amount saved by a single bike is minimal but the amount saved by a full "trees" worth built into a circle (I'm thinking footprint wise) is significant. Vertical hangs lose major points from me for their sheer unwieldiness however. We have them in my building (in a row formation, not a tree) and its just a huge pain in the butt getting bikes on and off the rack.

Because they are vertical, not horizontal there should be some space saving but it probably is much more secure.
