More daily life in Taiwan:
“We are completely sold out of surgical masks and [sanitizing] alcohol”
Sign for foot massages
Food Panda, which along with UberEats has taken Taiwan by storm just as other services have done in China
Daily garbage truck rounds – the trucks play Fur Elise and you have to run behind them to dispose of your trash
All along the watchtower – a watchtower for a Japanese colonial era prison which has been turned into a park
The other surviving watchtower in the prison
Taiwanese Starbucks food menu – they have flatbread pizza and pasta!
Temple night on Lantern Festival – Year of the Rat
“Gold paper” to burn for your ancestors for them to receive the blessings of wealth
Temple shots
This is a 結緣 bookshelf/library in the temple, with a lot of free literature on Buddhist/Daoist teachings and other religious texts relevant to worship. I got some of my own:
Incense – I didn’t take pictures of the deities directly, at least not this time
For next time, I have some videos of a lantern festival parade…various deities and their holy entourages
Haha had you not clarified that it was “sanitizing” alcohol, I would’ve expected Taiwan to be in a state of national emergency.
