Determined to prove that they were just as fit to be imperialists
as the great Western powers, the Japanese were keen to show off
the "model colony" of Taiwan. The most ambitious attempt to do
this was at the Japan-British Exhibition, held in London in 1910,
which included a small Formosan village with real native
Taiwanese on display! Here's a lesser-known story of a small
group of Paiwanese aborigines from Pingtung who traveled
across the world and back as a kind of "zoo" exhibit... but that
didn't stop them from making friends and the best of a unique
experience.
