Taiwan – Signs

Taiwan – Signs

I’ve always been fascinated with old streets in Taiwan that are flooded with competing store signs. There are few streets like this in Vancouver where I live, but they are nowhere on the scale of streets in Taiwan. I’d imagine there are now stricter regulations, as newer districts in Taiwan has more modern look to them, but to me these are the signature look of Taiwanese streets.
