As in the video game. [laughs]
I know.
You arrived after October 15th?
Excellent. Post-pandemic flights.
That's smart.
How do you feel so far?
Yeah, the very relaxed attitude.
I think it's a good cue for me to take off the jacket...
Excellent. How large is the group?
Just four? OK, pretty decent size.
Yes.
Ah. That's right, and the Gogoro charging stations counts as a reverse energy store for decentralized preparation.
Gogoro.
A little bit, but mainly in Taiwan.
Mm-hmm.
The less solarpunk side.
Very much so.
Yes. Also e-scooters. We've got testing sites within the campuses for them. vTaiwan helped to consult to make the E-scooter Bill Amendment. I think it's already passed. It's awaiting the results from the experimental campuses before municipal governments adopts them into general regulation, but the legislature already passed that amendment.
Basically making sure that e-scooters have their plate...
Yeah, clearly... It's basically e-bike-ifying the e-scooters.
I think it's only really taken down and rebuilt if there's a serious earthquake risk.
Yeah.
No, there's no social pressure for that.
We're post-modern.
The social pressure to make a cultural landscape, things like that, simply wasn't there. There was a little bit during the flower expo, but other than that, no.
Did clkao take you to hot springs?
That's right.
Or a Zen garden.
Or a hotel.
The eastern side, even more so.
Of course, and we'll still be around.
Yep.
There's that, and then there's this whole diversity. It's beyond just tolerance, it's collaborative diversity, and people celebrate the diversity here.
A little bit.
[laughs]
Build back better.
And more.
It's time to build.
We've got an entire hour.
Afterwards, feel free to have more open conversation with John here. [laughs]
Earthquakes?
Ah, sorry. [laughs]
Really, really bad. Some of them much worse than...
Not that one.
Around the turn of the century in 1999 . Not as bad as Tōhoku -- without the nuclear plant situation -- but in some places almost as bad.
On average, there's three felt earthquakes per day in Taiwan somewhere.
The eastern side's got more natural earthquakes.
