Downtown Kaohsiung at 1:30 in the afternoon, and there is NO ONE on the street. Not one scooter, car, bicycle, or electric wheelchair. Why not?
Air raid drill. That's right, every six months or so they turn on the air raid sirens and everyone has to get off the road and take shelter in a building while the cops and soldiers do some kind of drill, in preparation for an attack from China. (A very unlikely event, mind you.)
It's really freaky to hear the sirens go off, like something out of a WWII movie.
