I keep getting this Instagram ad:

It was before I had decided to change my original flight back to the US that was booked for tomorrow. There is a noticeable contrast between the energy here in Taiwan compared to the US. There seems to be a visceral anger/fear that is prevalent in the US. Much of it is justified. This is not a judgement, just an observation…

Much of the US feels like it is in a state of fight or flight. Reptilian Nation.

Meanwhile, Taiwan feels like a different dimension where people wear masks everywhere, but are breathing freely. I’m staying here for a while longer.
