Really Like Taipei
We can see the "beware of the falling rocks, do not linger" signs everywhere we walked in Taroko. However, everyone is still strolling underneath the rocks, taking pictures. I think this is the national park's attempt to shed responsiblity if anyone is got injured.

Maybe my Taipei folks would be very upset because I said Seoul is really like Taipei (I have no idea where this anti-Korean sentiment's coming about). Nevertheless, I have to say Seoul is very untidy and no-attention-details just like Taipei.
One thing very obvious is the lady's room. In other countries, used toilet papers are disposed into the toilet bowl. There is a small senitary bin that we can used to dispose napkins (some painfully clean places provides a small paper bag so you can wrap the used before disposing it). However, in Seoul, an open disposal box is placed right next to the toilet. By looking at the shapes of used toilet papers, your brain is filled with the vivid images of how people use them.
This is just very strange, why is it everyone doesn't dispose the supposingly water soluable toilet paper into the bowl? Oh, maybe they have bad experience with clogged toilets so that everyone was trained to use the bin. But, would it be so hard to provide a bin with a cover? It was not really fun to sit on a toilet right next to the filled-up basket (imagine the small space in each toilet stall, there is no place to hide).
Another funny thing is about the man's room. I can constantly heard that loud, cleaning throat sounds coming out of the man's room. Man, this is very much like Beijing. Is it because people live in North have bad throat all the time?
