ROAD CONSTRUCTION

Road construction in Taiwan is definitely much different than it is in the States.

Phil and I call these the “Just Figure It Out” construction areas. And, amazingly enough, people usually do! Here are two examples:

Our absolute favorite aspect of road construction here are the little guys they dress up, holding flags. We’re not really sure what this is about. Is it a way to get people’s attention? Are the construction companies unable to hire an actual person for this position? Whatever the case may be, we find them pretty humorous!
