Well, one of the big changes in Taiwan, was the emergence of gated communities.  Much like in New York City, there are now lots of tall towers that have condominiums, Taiwan now has many gated condos and they have security people, and people to help keep the places clean.  The place reminds me of the old movies that take place in New York, where someone lives in a wonderful apartment complex and has a person that acts as the security person, is alive and well in Taiwan.
