People often refer to Taipei as the sleepless city but I didn't understand why until l got to Chicago.I was window -shopping with another student this evening.suddenly,the store owners started pulling down their gates and locking their doors.soon the whole street was closed.and it wasn't even dark yet! I'd never seen this in Taiwan.Back home,the busiest street stay awake all night. You can go out to restaurants,stores,and movies even long after midnight.
