My first thought as soon as I got off the plane ... "Taipei's hot!" I can instantly feel the mugginess of that humid weather that I hate so much.
Taipei has the same look as a major Japanese city, but just a little more run down and gloomy. The bright colors and strong contrasts are there, but Taipei has just a pinch of gray on everything with an occasional splash of brown. There's much more red though.
As many bicycles as there are zipping through the streets of Japan, there are just as many mopeds in Taiwan. My first thought when I see them is the Bousouzoku motorcycle gangs in Japan. 3 or 4 mopeds alone in Japan, people are just going from A to B and they don't want to walk. Throw in a motorcycle, it's a motorcycle gang. The occasional moped trying to look tough just looks pathetic without the asshole on the bike.
