Migration Pattern

Typhoon in December, of course there's no global warming. Thankfully it turned away from the island once it touched the southern tip of Taiwan, so it wasn't much more than a windy rainstorm in Taipei. That meant David had to go in for overtime on a Saturday (after WJ called in from China on Friday to check on him), and I could go over to the GF's place. The rain put a damper on going out, but just spending time together was fine since haven't really seen her since going off to China.

Thought it would be a relaxed ride on the MRT on a rainy off-day. Nope, as the trains on the Blue Line was packed with folks out to play on a weekend afternoon. I was lucky I was headed away from the main commercial cluster, as the trains going the other way were packed tighter than anything at rush hour. And when I got to Taipei Main Station, the trains coming in from the northern suburbs on the Red Line were dumping off even more folks transferring to the Blue. So really, even on a weekend it seems like people are going off to work. At least there were no school uniforms to be seen on this day.
