#AAJTaiwan moment of surrealism: Watching elderly women falteringly line dance to Uptown Funk in a park at 9:30 at night. #FunkYouUp #UptownFunkYouUp

#AAJTaiwan Observation: Daily ife in Taiwan in many respects does not start until noon, but stretches late into the evening. Restaurants, shops, and more just don’t open until later in the day.

#AAJTaiwan Observation: Taipei bus drivers WILL keep to their schedule. They are nice, courteous, and professional, but you better be ready to fling yourself on and off the bus at stops.

#AAJTaiwan Observation: Taiwan has invested in serious infrastructure building and maintenance, much more so than the U.S. High speed trains, subway, light rail, and buses complement each other seamlessly. A hugely subsidized single payment method for all of them tops it off.

#AAJTaiwan Observation: The garbage trucks in Chiayi City play music like ice cream trucks. There may be a lot of unhappy children in this city.

An #AAJTaiwan observation: Taipei may have more motor scooters than people. They line the sidewalks like a crowd waiting for a parade that never comes.

Days 3 & 4 of #AAJTaiwan were spent in the mountains without internet. Walking amongst tea plantations and watching the sunrise over Alishan Forest. A quick nightmarket stop once back in the city.

First impressions of Taiwan: The humidity slaps you in the face when you exit the plane. An aging airport set amid rice paddies in a flood plain. The ride to Taipei reveals elderly, soot-covered buildings divided by impressive infrastructure. In the city, signs riot. #AAJTaiwan
