S4 - E33 – Dressing Up (and sometimes Stripping Off) – Taiwanese Weddings
Manage episode 453941383 series 3074738
If you've been to a Taiwanese wedding this century, it was likely a much toned-down version of what these boisterous events could once be like.
John (who apologizes for having a cold) recounts watching a wedding and a funeral 20 meters apart held at the same "auspicious" hour.
John and Eryk explore the development of Taiwan’s seemingly Western but actually home-grown modern wedding culture. And they recall the days when it was considered normal that a wedding (or sometimes a religious ceremony) would feature performances from lightly-clothed women. Enjoy this walk down the aisle of memory lane.
