Protecting the “squirrels”

I remember these broken glass-topped walls used to be everywhere in Taiwan.  When I visited Tai Da, my co-worker told me that the girls’ dorm is nearby.  Apparently he used to spend a lot of time in this area admiring the (and here he paused) squirrels.

When I was planning on coming to Taiwan, my father tried dissuading me by painting the country as lawless and dangerous.  Times certainly have changed.  I haven’t seen too many walls with broken glass on top anymore.
