TW is so much different from SG, all the direction is opposite. SG driver is on the right side where TW is on the left. Even taking the escalator, they keep right where we keep left. TW people don’t overtake or pushing when talking lift, escalator, train, bus, etc. unlike S’porean everything also want to be first. They follow orderly. They are all very nice pple.

Reaching Danshui MRT station, we took R26 bus near the train station to the end of the bus stop, we reached Fisherman Wharf (Lover Bridge) to see the sun set.
