Travel Taiwan Haiku - Patron Saint For Brothels



taipei story house
piggie with sultry girl on lap
is patron saint for brothels

taipei story house
statue of piggie with girl on lap
is ideal for brothels

At the Taipei Story House, which is near the Taiwan Contemporary
Arts Museum is a little two storey tudor styled building one can visit to get a real understanding of Taiwan society especially their beliefs. I was shocked to find among the platehora of statues of gods and goddesses is one of a piggie head and a sultry girl on his lap. A note says the Piggie is the patron saint for those operating brothels in Taiwan.
