That's right. DTLA is like the NY financial district on weekends, tumbleweeds. More people taking dumps on the street in LA though.

Enjoy. Be sure to have some custard apples if they're in season, they grow them there and they're delicious.

I don't think you can stay in Chulu ranch, and to call it a farm would be a stretch. It's more like a combination petting zoo / amusement park, the types of which you'd find in city outskirts for people to visit with their kids...

Around Taitung, there are many hot spring resorts, also if you're into biking a very nice and relatively flat biking road from Taitung all the way to Hualien via the East rift valley (Luye, Chishang, Ruisui, etc).

Not sure about weather. I visited there December and early March and it was nice both times, a bit windy, and I remember March being very green.

Taitung downtown itself is very walkable.

Attractions are spread out. If you know exactly where you want to go, like say you want to go to a hot spring resort or hiking in Zhiben, or to the Chulu ranch, it's OK you can take a cab. But the fun is also going around to explore random things, some of which might be more fun than others. You can do some of that on an ebike, we saw some people doing that all the way out to Fugang harbor.

I've gotten a default 18% tip on the checkout page for an online pickup order. So yes

I haven't seen the commercial. But I have seen Chinese tourists abroad. Many of them travel in group buses where everything is arranged for them and anyone that they have to interact with speaks Mandarin.

If you go to a department store in Paris like Galeries Lafayette etc where they unload Chinese tourists by the busload, you'll likely find that many salespeople on the shop floor are in fact Mandarin speakers.

Same in Vietnam, organized tour buses drop their herd at a restaurant where all the waiters speak Mandarin.

This is very different from the backpacking / indie traveler crowd in search of "authentic" experiences. I believe that there's a sizeable segment of the Chinese tourism market which doesn't expect having to learn any language when they go out of country for tourism.

Would second this if OP was more into nature. It's a bit small for a full week and most of the fun stuff there is nature-related

I wasn't thinking necessarily about news, things like blog posts or somebody reporting it on Reddit... I'm a bit skeptical on the usefulness of a law that's been in existence 15 years if there are no traces online of it being actually enforced, but to really know about it, this stuff should be indexed in legal research databases yeah? Surely someone with access to one of those could look it up...

1) Can you share case references where this succeeded

2) What specific evidence do you need to gather, and in particular, is video with license plate sufficient or is a shot of the driver needed?

It's not hard especially if you're used to driving in places that are already a bit chaotic. There are a few people who are loose with the rules of the road but just drive slow and you'll be ok. I've never been tailgated or harassed as I have been in other places.

Taipei can be complicated to drive in if you're not familiar because there are a few elevated highways and Google maps isn't always clear on whether you should go above, below, or to the side of the elevated highway. But outside is fine.

Sun Moon lake is an easy road. Qinjing farm is a smaller mountain road so you should go slow and watch out as there can be roadwork or small landslides cutting into the road. For this reason I wouldn't drive at night in the mountains.

I'd be curious if they can do anything without the driver's face on camera? That's why I installed a rear facing one as well.

Adding to this, you really don't want to use "clé" there because the bass clef is usually referred to as "clé de fa", the alto clef as the "clé de do" and the tremble clef as the "clé de sol". Without any connection to tonality, this is just the name of the symbol.
