The National Intercollegiate Athletics Games (NIAG) are Taiwan’s university games. Beginning on May 9th and running until the 13th, over 12 000 athletes representing 169 universities and colleges in Taiwan will be competing. As the biggest sporting event in Taiwan prior to the Beijing Olympics, these games will feature members of the Chinese Taipei Olympic team. Here’s a few images shot yesterday at the swimming. I’ll have more throughout the week from other sports.

Cosplay
Craig April 30th, 2008
For those who fancy themselves as superheroes or comic book characters, cosplay is the answer. Short for costume play, Cosplay was originally a Japanese subculture that began in the 1970s which featured people dressing as characters from anime, manga, tokasatsu and video games. As it’s grown and spread to other countries, it’s added some local flavor, with characters from Taiwanese puppet theater, Star Wars, American Civil War just a few of the accepted additions to the subculture.
