Canadians? In OUR Taipei?

This morning we were walking through Xungshiao Fuxing station and heard disturbing voices behind us... people speaking English! And they were not us! I just cannot adequately describe to you how jarring it was. Turns out the people were Canadian and they were just as surprised to see us as we were to see them. They said they'd been in Taipei for about a week and we were the first Americans they'd seen. No kidding, folks. After a while it's kind of upsetting... we kind of wondered for a moment, "Who do they think they are? This is OUR Taipei." Then they went off to catch a different train and we decided to share.
