on the way and he realized he was on the wrong train um he went and told a guard who didn't speak very good english um but they managed to communicate with each other and the card just sort of at the final stop he just like escorted him off the train and gave him to another guard who then like escorted him along onto another train that took him back to where he'd come from so it was like a whole day of him just sitting on a train being like oh no i got on the wrong train
um but they were so nice about it apparently you know they didn't make him buy for buy a ticket or anything they were just like well that was silly off you go yeah yeah it's when you don't want to get on the wrong train when it's a high speed train taking you to the opposite end of the country yeah okay i mean it's a small country but still still indeed still yes um so no misadventures no i mean i think i've

Signage.
Yeah, it drove me mad.
The signage here is really good.
I'm so obsessed with it.
I still am.
I still am.
So how would you rate... I've used it every day since I moved to Taiwan.
Yeah.
Should I check my streak?
