A brief stop at Taipei, Taiwan

As i had about 6hours until my connecting flight, i decided to explore Taipei.

Took me an hour on the bus to get there and another hour to come back.
I was oly there for an hour or even shorter in the end but it was very interesting.
My first visit to an Asian city, alot different from the world ive known.

Ppl bike everywhere. I only saw one person on a bike.
Taipei main station reminds me of Shinjuku east exit.
I tended to look for similarities maybe because the stress i felt from not being able to communicate well and understand what people were talking was bigger than i expected.
Gosh it tired me out...
But really liked the part that ppl gather at bike shops and chat alot. Def felt the community there.

This came to my mind. A famous line by some well-known communication studies scholar.

"people cannot not communicate"

Yes, the circle of people, it is!
