They are moving out in late September, which means we will have a nicely decorated coworking space!\n    - It’s near the Tainan Train station, which is the most convenient spot in the whole city.\n    \n    ![Untitled](https://prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/c1279b38-97b3-4376-8a23-44c409bc090a/602cd9dd-bcaf-46d2-98c6-d355f1d3221c/Untitled.png)\n    \n    ![Untitled](https://prod-files-secure.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/c1279b38-97b3-4376-8a23-44c409bc090a/455ba3c6-8b03-45e1-b304-b096ee153b33/Untitled.png)\n    \n- We also secured the accommodation partner - the **Tainan Association for Hostels**\n    - They already secured 120 beds for us with three price ranges:\n        - Higher class: 20 single rooms\n            - 1200 - 1500 NTD (40-50 USD) per night\n            - 25,200 - 31,500 NTD (840 - 1050 USD) for the whole stay\n        - Middle class: 50 single rooms\n            - 1000 - 1200 NTD (35 - 40 USD) per night\n            - 21,000 - 25,200 NTD (630 - 840 USD) for the whole stay\n        - Youth and Hostel: 50 beds (might be bunkbeds)\n            - 600 - 700 NTD (20 - 25 USD) per night\n            - 12,600 - 14,700 NTD (420 - 525 USD) for the whole stay\n- **Notable partners**: In the past 2 months, we have visited Tainan 3 times and met with some important local partners who would support our stay there.\n    - [Tainan Sprout](https://www.tnsprout.org/) (台南新芽): Tainan Sprout is one of the most well-known non-profits in Tainan that works on democracy and human rights. They will help us navigate the local logistics during the prep for Zulandia.\n    - National Museum of Taiwan Literature: They are the national museum in Tainan, which has a rich historical collection of literature. Many of our content will be from here. They agree to work with us as traditional knowledge and history advisors.\n    - [Tainan Bird Association](https://www.tnbird.org.tw/): They are the environmental NGO in Tainan working to preserve the birds and more. They will be our ecology advisor, inspiring us to adopt ecological thinking in the planning.\n\n## Main Focus of Zulandia\n\nWe are still trying to consolidate the focus of Zulandia, but the following are the key ideas that will soon form a narrative. \n\n### Local Connections\n\nConnecting the Zuzalu ecosystem with the local communities to understand the real use cases of crypto, decentralized governance, and more in a real-world setting. We work to connect ourselves with various organizations, communities, and institutions in Tainan, to fully integrate Zulandia in the city, instead of being isolated. Following are a few dimensions we focus on: \n\n- Democracy and Human Rights in Tainan\n- Food, beverage, and living in Tainan\n- Religious and Spiritual life in Tainan\n\nThe Zulandia experience will be more curated than other pop-up cities. We plan to develop a story to gamify the whole living experience, using the local elements as the foundation of gamification. In the following section, we will show the initial idea of gamification.\n\n### Identity as Container\n\nIdentity crisis is not new to Taiwanese people. Being colonized by many different cultures and countries, each Taiwanese has always had this mixed identity. The old generation might consider themselves Japanese. Some people consider themselves Chinese, and some Taiwanese. Ｗe have been trying to figure out what can best represent Taiwan, but realized that our rich culture comes from this lack of super-dominant identity. Taiwan is a container containing the rich wisdom of diverse cultures, which is why our democracy is so unique. \n\nAt Zulandia, we use the “Taiwan identity as a method.” Each individual will be their own container of their identity, and after fully participating in Zulandia, their unique identity will be formed. For example, if I participated in 10 events about democracy, 3 events about religious life, and 1 about food, my identity would lean more towards a “democracy activist.” Each person will gain a unique identity at the end of the event, and together, we can see how Tainan as a city shapes the people that live in it. \n\nThis is also an experiment on relational identity - your relationships with events, sceneries, people, organizations, and food shape who you are. We will adopt Social Layer as our tech layer to facilitate the develop of our identities.  Following is a simple chart of what we are planning but not the final version.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "zulandia_taiwan"}, "recipient": "0x7d5b4d1da35BB09c950295d6064a0F167346279f"}}
