December 7, 2006 - I conveniently had the 2 out while walking behind the Taida campus library towards class when this group of riders came by carrying ominous black banners. They looked like they were having fun. I didn't get it in the shot, but I saw the characters 黑 (black) and 社 (society), which translated in my mind as something underhanded and devious, maybe revolutionary. Maybe! After all, the revolution will not be motorized.
December 12, 2006 - Several days later the banners were just posted around, and indeed it says 黑社會 - Black Society, but I kept thinking of it as the Black Hand Society. Maybe because a friend lent me a CD by an underground artist who went by the name 黑手Nagasi (Black Hand Nagasi). This is in front of the library where there are typically bike parking jams.
