阿邦...台北的陳偉聯


this is 阿邦... a busker at one of the undeground shopping malls in Taipei’s 東區。me and hanyu were happily shopping away until we heard his voice and decided to stop and listen and also rest our feet.. the area actually has lots of seats for shoppers to rest which is really cool..

anyway the pt is the moment i saw him and heard him sing, i'm reminded at our very own superstar 陳偉聯。but i must say 偉聯 sings much nicer then him.. and while 偉聯 will play his own guitar, 阿邦 sings from a synthesizer.. think the govt is promoting such activities for showcasing talents cos there seems to be a schedule as to who will be there on wat days and at wat times.. really organised..

the thing is during the period of abt 15 mins that we were there, at least 5 ppl donated money to him and also quite a couple were writing encouragement notes to him on the notebook he had on the table.. Taipei is really a more compassionate and friendly place than i tot it would be.. a more gracious society than i imagined.. there's still lots that Singapore can learn from Taipei.
