And all is done

oh so Botel Tabago is Lanyu island.... however, why are there stories of portuguese treasures if there were no portuguese on the island? He claims the portuguese may have only left the goats of the island behind, but not even that is true as those came from the Phillipines. And I suspected that the 1874 incident was connected to the shipwrecks from Okinawa. And was taiwan only second choice for Japan?

Were buddhists monks as powerful before nobunaga as he claims? And europeans envied the japanese for their far-sighted keen vision?

catching and taming wild buffaloes? These buffaloes must be feral because there were no bovines on the island before the dutch brought them over. And who were these diaramock? Google AI states: The term "Diaramock" was often associated with the Paiwan or Rukai peoples living around the southern Central Mountain Range. But he talked about the paiwan already and this cannibalism here sounds really extreme.

how did these geishas sound if the wagon with a bull is a preferable sound?

So back then the japanese were admired more when they use their traditional clothing?

So the husband goes to the family of the bride. That is unusual for the area.

so the Amis were bigger and stronger than the other natives? And the Ami have a subordinate role in regard to the other natives because they are not considered native? Interesting.

So he considered the paiwan people of tamaris to be cleaner than the chinese. Ironic. As for them picking parasites out of their hair... I really wonder, why didn't they use combs?

So the rulers in the area belong to another tribe than the rest of the people?
