Wet lovin' in Kaohsiung



Another misleading title that's bound to disappoint however you look at it. Unless your fetish is for giant, eco-friendly fish-men - in which case, get your ass to Love River.


Love River
(愛河)




It may sound like the title of the worst 80s band's least imaginative power ballad, but this 17-kilometre river winding its way through Kaohsiung is a blessing to my psychogeography. All cities should be obligated to have rivers, otherwise how are you supposed to navigate? By driving or something? (I'm looking at you, Athens).
