Taiwan 2024 - Northeast Coast, Impoverished Entryway

Not sure why, but I've always been drawn to these types of scenes.  In Mexico, also, what attracted me most were the places of poverty, where families lived hand-to-mouth:  a tumbledown neighborhood in a city, or an impoverished ejido out in the middle of nowhere.  After all, I lived in such an ejido for a while in 1980, and on the outskirts of Mexico City visited a family in a cinder block neighborhood that sprang up in nine days.  This was along the edge of a huge landfill, and ten or so families shared the use of a welding outfit to scrape out a living.  Can't say they were that happy, but managed to make it day by day.  And no matter where we were visiting down there, we never left without having eaten something.
