There was a scheduled air raid drill today in Taiwan. I was hiking when the first alarm went off. As I came out of the mountains, the streets were silent. It was kind of eerie. I've heard the drills before but have always found myself to be indoors or perhaps not in the city.
During these drills, cars and people are to remain stationed until a second alarm sounds. The drill runs for a half hour period in the early afternoon. The police officer wouldn't even let us walk two shops over to the 7-11. Serious stuff!
