Apparently, it is quite wet in the north of the island but is drier further south. Maybe it was the rainy season but I have heard that it is known to be a wet place in general.
With the calligraphy I was worried that it might have ended up like one of those tattoos people get that says some ridiculous but they think just looks cool. At least having a naive writer do it the message would still make sense and hopefully spell out who the monk with the big ears was.
Thanks @ryivhnn

I have "one of those tattoos" (actually a few of them) but I do know what they say ;D I'm kind of half using them as glyphs though x_x
I get what you mean though, the Chinese dialects are ones I'm really not confident about attempting to actually speak because there's so many words that change meaning depending on stress x_x
