As I strolled around near the Longshan temple in Taipei the other day I came across a few wee surprises. There were many of these old Space Invaders and Tetris machines set up in small shops, what a brilliant idea. It was mainly older members of the community playing them but it was great to see that they still exist in this High Definition, virtual reality, augmented world of today.

Many of these shops big and small around the place and many of them are busy. These pictures was taken very early in the morning and so there was no one trying to get a stuffed toy from the machines. They are open 24 hours and some are unmanned and as I say they are very popular.

You have to be careful that you do not stand too close to the trees in Taipei because it looks like they eat people………………………

Isn’t this bad Karma?
