      Still, it is best that it stood. It is an old house, new houses built in past twenty years can withstand this one. This building’s flaw is its weak design on the point of the V shape, so that’s why you see the building tilted towards the glass wall side.

    I am in Taipei on a business trip. This morning's quake is the strongest among the many I've experienced while traveling to Taipei for work. However, we are having endless of high-energy aftershocks, of at least 4 that was so severe that it has to be a 5 or 6. The aftershocks have continued for the last 7 hours.... literally one every few minutes or even every few seconds. This is unusual for Taiwan's "normal" earthquakes. A lot of cracked walls, fallen bricks and damaged waterpipes in Taipei. I truly hope everyone is OK...

      @@brendachilders4879 Thank you! Taiwan does have modern seismic-related building codes similar to Japan. However, in the middle of core Taipei and many outline communities, the buildings are 30/40+ years old and they were not built to modern standards. As such in many of the busy parts of Taipei - you see old building next to new buildings. I am staying in a hotel of older build, 10 floors up, and it was a frightening experience. The higher floors definitely get the effects of all the shakes.

I'm viewing all the way from Phoenix, AZ as we don't have any natural disasters unless you count haboobs but can see how Taipei is quite similar to San Fran when it comes to earthquakes.

    Don’t worry too much. Earthquakes are part of life in Taiwan.
    Major earthquakes in Taiwan occur roughly every 25 years. The 921 earthquake in 1999 was the biggest earthquake I’ve ever experienced. The epicenter was in Nantou, and the quake was so powerful that it caused the ground to arch up to the height of two stories. The second floor became the first floor, and the first floor was buried underground like a basement.
    After 25 years, the Hualien earthquake occurred, but based on time estimates, it might be another 25 years before we encounter another earthquake over magnitude 7. After the release of energy, Taiwan is actually safer.
    Experienced numerous major earthquakes, Taiwan's buildings have become more robust. Big earthquakes expose the shoddy workmanship in buildings, causing poorly constructed columns to break. During the 921 earthquake, some buildings in Taichung had columns that broke, revealing the use of gasoline barrels as a substitute for steel reinforcement, leading to the arrest of many unscrupulous builders. Now, few builders dare to cut corners.

      In Taiwan and other Asian nations it has been common to wear masks when sick for a long time (for example I saw it all the time when I lived there in 2011). This is a practice that more than predates the pandemic and has nothing to do with covid. It’s considered polite and is just a different cultural practice. Similar to how when someone sneezes we might say “bless you”; this has nothing to do with feelings around covid- it’s just a thing we do.
