This was our first full day on Mykonos - we still weren't sure how we felt about it. We spent the prior evening walking around the main town and weren't impressed. It reminded us of a town set up solely for cruise ship passengers - every other building was a jewelry shop or expensive restaurant. On this day we hopped a bus and went to Paradise Beach to check it out. Very nice. We then walked along a trail that connected 5 beaches - nice walk but it was ungodly hot and we were soaked by the time we got to the last beach. Heather did her best to support the local economy (again) and picked up some nice outfits. We headed back to the room for a siesta and beer or two. I wanted to walk down to the harbor for the sunset. Heather was tired of walking so she sent me off on my own. Big sad eyes. The sunset actually was pretty nice - it was crowded but not like the madness we experienced on Oia. Mykonos has a reputation as a party island and we're not party animals. I think we wanted to be back on Santorini already!

"NEW SCHOOL"
Last weekend Simon Han, owner of "Tattooist", the new tattoo studio on Jeju Island, invited me to watch well-known Korean tattoo artist 'Mir' perform his craft.
Mir had already begun work when I arrived. I sat down quietly and watched as he carefully drew an intricate picture of a bird surrounded by flowers on a young mother's left shoulder. Noting my surprise, the engaging Mir told me that 70% of his customers are women, mostly young, university students, a sharp contrast from his macho clientele just a few years ago. In fact the entire market for his tattoos has changed a lot over the years. In the early days he would get clients who came in with a photo and say, "I want this". Today he sits down with more sophisticated customers and discusses options over the course of several consultations and drawing sessions.
Mir, who's name means "dragon" in Korean, had wanted to become a tattoo artist since middle school when he and his friends would tattoo each other using sharp needles and ink. Their work looked terrible according to Mir. "One day I got a tattoo that was supposed to be a spider but it looked liked a cockroach", he explained with a laugh. "My friends teased me, asking me why I got a cockroach tattooed on my body."
After going to Saipan to get his low-quality tattoos covered, he came back to Korea intent on doing tattoos the right way. Self-taught, Mir first practiced on friends. Then, as his skills improved and he became more well-known, he began to travel across Korea to tattoo gangsters. In 2000 he opened up his own studio. His timing was prescient as the demand for tattoos exploded just six years later. Today, Mir's client list includes musicians, club owners, singers, actors, and UFC and F1 fighters.
After 90 minutes, Mir's work is done and it's not at all what I expected. The tattoo looks beautiful and the woman is clearly pleased. Tattoos have long been considered in the country a mark of violence, membership to a gang, or defiance of mainstream culture. However, in recent years, many South Koreans have started to embrace tattoos as a work of art and a fashion statement. 20% of tattoo artists in Korea are women and their "new-school" style, punctuated by bright colors and pretty designs, is at the forefront of a break from the "old-school" style of dragons, skulls, and sinister messages in favor of smaller, cuter tattoos. Mir embraces the change which gives him a chance to flex his artistic muscle.
What does the future hold for Mir? "I'd like to go abroad and get a tattoo from a famous artist like French tattooist Filip Leu", he mused. In the meantime, Mir will continue to refine his craft, solidifying his place as one of the top tattoo artists in Korea.

12294 Harris Road, Pitt Meadows, BC.
Statement of Significance:
Description of Historic Place:
The Pitt Meadows General Store and Post Office is a two-storey Foursquare house, altered on the ground floor to accommodate a store, with later shed roof additions on three sides. Located on the east side of Harris Road, the historic commercial centre of the District of Pitt Meadows, this building is adjacent to a grouping of Pitt Meadows' most significant heritage sites.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Pitt Meadows General Store and Post Office is associated with the earliest development of the original town centre of Pitt Meadows. This building is a landmark component of the Harris Road historic grouping, dating from the time when Pitt Meadows was developing rapidly as an agricultural town and Harris Road was its commercial, administrative and community centre. This location was close to the Canadian Pacific Railway, enabling the store to receive imported goods for resale.
The building is historically significant as Pitt Meadows' first General Store and Post Office, and its growth and development mirrors that of the community. The post office was located in the wing on the south side of the building. The Struthers family took over the business in 1921 and the building was used as a general store up until 1931, when they built a larger new store just to the south. This building remained a residence for some members of the family, and a storage facility for the new store. The Post Office continued to operate out of the building, with William Struthers as Post Master until 1944, when Robert Thorburn became the new Post Master and set up in a separate building at the corner of McMyn and Harris Roads.
Additionally, the Pitt Meadows General Store and Post Office is significant for its architectural evolution, from a two-storey Foursquare house to a general store and residence. In 1908, the partially constructed building was moved on log rollers from Herring Road to its present site, using a team of horses. The building evolved through utilitarian additions necessitated by the growth of the business. It has retained many exterior features that demonstrate its evolution, such as the recessed entrance and plate glass storefront windows from the 1908 conversion. Much of the interior spatial configuration has remained intact, including many interior finishes.
Additionally, the site is now valued for its interpretive and educational value as an integral part of the Pitt Meadows Museum and Archives, and demonstrates the value that the District of Pitt Meadows places on its heritage. From the mid 1990s the building remained unoccupied and in disrepair until the District of Pitt Meadows purchased the property in late in 1997, and undertook its restoration. In June 1998, the Pitt Meadows Heritage and Museum Society moved in and the building became the home of the Pitt Meadows Museum and Archives.
