Last Updated: 2024/11/03, For the exchange of professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style). As we all know, the cafes in this area of Dihua Street are open indirectly, and they can be said to be competing for each other, each with its own characteristics, but the AMA Caf I want to share with you today is really special. I was attracted by the shining gold light on the wall when I passed by a few days ago.

As we all know, the coffee shops in this area of Dihua Street are open indirectly, and they can be said to be very colorful, each with its own characteristics-but the "AMA Caf é" I'm going to share with you today is really special. I stopped to observe when I was passing by a few days ago, attracted by the shining golden light on the wall inside. Later, I was surprised to find that it was not only a shop for coffee and afternoon tea, but also the first memorial hall in Taiwan with the theme of "comfort women." then the name of the coffee shop "AMA" is actually the transliteration of "Grandma (referring to those who were forced to be comfort women in early Taiwan)." Fair Trade Coffee, which provides assistance to the "war zone in Rwanda", is a meaningful store that also sells goods from Mammy's family and some public welfare partners.

In fact, I thought it was a little strange to see the theme of "comfort women" and "women's rights". It's not that I don't support them, but that I'm a man. If the customers inside are all female customers who are keen to fight for women's rights and then are talking about topics related to comfort women and women's rights, it is not very embarrassing for me to sit in there as a man. However, later, I saw this Kanban emphasize that they have launched a summer limited "Grandma Pear smoothie", and "welcome to come in and taste fresh", but there is no special emphasis on "welcome female customers to come in for a taste", so I think there should be no problem for me to go in and have a smoothie.

The environment of AMA Caf é is really special! The "wall" is made of metal, and then the part of the pattern is to hollow out the metal part to dig out circles of different sizes, and then shine light from behind those "metal walls", showing a very amazing visual effect--

There is a fish pattern on the wall of the previous photo, and this side is a chicken pattern. I wonder if there is any special meaning.? In short, I think the color gold here is very artistic and avant-garde, and there is no vulgar feeling at all.

In the catering part, there are many kinds of coffee, tea and smoothies, and the price is actually OK. A cup of coffee is about 70 murmur150 yuan. Although I ordered a 120-yuan "Grandma Pear smoothie" this time, I heard a group of guests sitting opposite me say that the coffee here tastes good after a sip.

This time, I ordered an amamari smoothie. I heard that the water pear was planted by Grandma Lotus's grandson, and the smoothie only added a little sugar, in order to make the taste of the water pear and the smoothie more blended together. If there is no sugar, you will feel that the water pear is a water pear and a smoothie is a smoothie. Generally speaking, the sweetness of this smoothie is much lower than that of fruit smoothies on the market, and it tastes refreshing and can absorb a lot of puree made from pears. I recommend you to try it.

P.s. The small cup next to it is the diced water pear that the clerk brought me to try. If you think it is delicious, you can order fresh water pear directly from them.

Another order of "caramel apple pie" is 85 yuan, although I would like to say something nice. However, it tastes a little pink, and the sweetness of caramel is not obvious. The pie itself tastes a bit like pineapple cake's kind of pastry, but I don't like pineapple cake's dim sum that will drop crumbs all the time. Or the kind of thousand-layer pie apple pie that I ate at the Gantian fruit shop in Zhongli two weeks ago is more to my taste!

P.s. I'm just saying that the apple pie here is not that much to my taste, but maybe other people will think it's delicious.

There are some books on the table, which seem to be related to comfort women or women's rights. You can read them if you are interested.

Phubber can also use the socket on the table to recharge. If you specially come to this area for sightseeing, when your legs are sore and sweaty, you can come here to blow the air-conditioner, have a smoothie, and recharge your mobile phone. (I just sat here playing hand games for more than an hour that day.)

Like other stores nearby, this is a binary building. It covers an area of 150 ping, and the space is long and narrow. The second half of the first floor and the second floor belong to the "Museum of Peace and Women's Human Rights." everyone will be open to visit before November 24, 2017. if the number of visitors is more than 10 people, you can also apply for group tour service.

This section, called "their time", shows the photos of those comfort women and grandmothers, from which we can also see their joys and sorrows, um... Basically, most of them are "happy" photos-they usually don't take pictures when they are angry and sad.

Some people may think that the topic of "comfort women" is very serious or refuse to understand because it has nothing to do with themselves, but I think those things are historical facts. Although it is a dark and sentimental history, there is no need to avoid it. Until now, many women's rights … In other words, human rights groups are still actively seeking justice for these women who were forcibly recruited as comfort women. The purpose of this museum is not to stimulate people's hatred against Japan, but to inspire the power to move forward by remembering history and transcending trauma, so that such violations of human rights will no longer be allowed to happen in every corner of the world.

You can take pictures freely in the museum, as long as you don't use flash.

There are many furnishings related to reeds in the museum, because there was a documentary called "Song of Reed" that told the story of Taiwanese comfort women. Those reeds symbolize the hearts of comfort women who are constantly crushed but still tough to stand up again, but no matter how strong they are, there will be a fragile and sad side.

The "permanent Exhibition of comfort Women" can be seen in this area about the origin of the "comfort women" system, the situation of comfort women overseas and the stories of survivors. Wait, wait,

If you can't get used to reading too many words, there are related movies to watch. I don't know if it is the content of the song of Reed. )

What is more gratifying is that the grandmothers I saw in the museum seemed to be doing well in their old age. I realized some of my dreams with the help of my family and the outside world.

At the bottom of the first floor is the Tree of Life of the Mammy Family, created by the paper carving artist Lin Wenzhen. Below the tree are silhouettes of four characters, symbolizing the spirit of love, courage and vitality of Aunt Lotus, Aunt Wan, Aunt Shenzhong and Mammy Xiaotao.

Next, when we go up to the second floor, although the content of the exhibition is a little heavy and a little sad to read, the space of the whole exhibition is actually very comfortable. the whole display mode, moving line, texture, temperature (the intensity of air-conditioning) all make visitors feel very good.

Some people argue that some comfort women volunteer to be comfort women, but there is also a group of people who think that all comfort women are forced, which caused a lot of controversy in the previous "anti-curriculum movement."

The visitors here are very orderly and have nothing to talk about at all. after all, it is a bit inappropriate to talk and laugh too much in such a place.

On the second floor, there is an activity of "one person with one heart" action works, which provides a small card with a red circle and red love in the middle for everyone to express their ideas and ideas on the issue of grandmothers or comfort women.

Everyone feels so creative.

There are three languages of DM available for visitors to freely obtain, and since there are no tickets here, I hope you can donate to support the operation of this place if you have the ability and will, and it can also be regarded as a contribution for those comfort women and grandmothers.

Then there is the coolest part of the Peace and Women's Human Rights Museum, called 'Reed Song: comfort Women' Grandma Memorial Space (Reed Song Corridor). The event is similar to the concept of lighting lights. I hope to collect 100 lanterns to donate 3000 yuan a month for more than 12 months, and that money will be used as operating funds for "Mammy's" and to support them in organizing more related public welfare activities.

It seems that if a person donates, he will light a lamp. at present, it seems that there are really many people who are willing to donate money. I … I am a little willing but powerless. I will support this kind of public welfare activities when I have more money in the future.

This corridor is really beautiful. I heard that the 2000 lamps in the photo symbolize the Reed and the more than 2, 000 comfort women in Taiwan from the early days to the present. To light these lamps by donating money is tantamount to allowing the light and heat of their lives to last forever.

Some of the metal lamps will reflect the names of several grandmothers, and the words will be clearer if you use your hands to catch the light, so you can have a chance to have a try.

Moving on is a so-called "female power space," showing some of the works made by grandmothers when they attended the physical and mental care workshop, and a "citizen study" with a collection of books related to women's human rights. (the ones I saw on the first floor should be the same) if you are interested, you can read or buy them.

If a group wants to rent this space to hold some lectures or meetings, they are also happy to rent the venue-(the maximum number of people is about 50).

Whether you are interested in comfort women and women's rights issues or simply want to find a place to drink, air-conditioner and recharge, I think "AMA Cafe & Mammy House-Peace and Women's Human Rights Museum" is a good place for your reference.
