Lin Ku-fang, a scholar of music, says that Taipei residents always react instinctively. If there is a traffic accident, the drivers jump out of their cars and fight it out. People run into each other and exchange angry glances. "There is neither the space nor the time for people to sit around and ponder things."
音樂學者林谷芳形容說台北人只有反射動作，車擦撞，先下車打一架；人擦撞，互瞪兩眼，「人與人已經沒有時間、空間好作反芻。」
