「淡水藝術工作坊」為昔日警眷宿舍，座落於淡水中正路的日式屋舍，民國35年興建完成。改建後，不但是符合世界潮流的環保綠建築，更是淡水河口藝遊網的藝文亮點。
直到清初，台灣正式納入清朝版圖，紅毛城再度成為淡水河口防禦要塞，只是，清軍對它無過多經營。清末英法聯軍之役後，淡水開港，英國人租借紅毛城作為英國領事館使用，並在主堡東側興建領事官邸，紅毛城再度熱絡起來，...

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.
