A motorbike was riding down the street between buildings with lots of windows

Motorbike running street among buildings — Shot at Datong District in Taipei, Taiwan

Taipei's Datong District has been developed for a long time. There are still some historic temples such as the Baoan Temple and the Confucius Temple, and the famous tourist attraction Dihua Street is also located in this district. However, it is difficult to get a sense of this history just by walking around the city. The buildings in the area are neither so new as to be modern, nor so old as to remind one of the many years gone by. They are all halfway old.

The street I was walking on at the time was also flanked by old buildings. There were mid-rise buildings on both sides, and another mid-rise building loomed in front of us. Surrounded by buildings on all sides, it felt like walking through a three-dimensional maze. The buildings on both sides and in front of the building are like the walls of a maze.

The sensation of walking through such a three-dimensional maze must be the same as that of laboratory rats. Perhaps I, too, would be subjected to electric shocks if I took the wrong path. Thinking of this made me a little nervous in deciding the direction in which to proceed.
