In my impression, only the most marginal people--old soldiers, car washers, people just up from the countryside to look for work in Taipei -- lived in the illegal housing on the broad expanse of the site of Park Number 7. This was a far cry from the elegant little coffee shops in trendy eastern Taipei where I usually saw Wong.
七號公園這片廣闊的違建地，印象中是老兵、洗車工、南部來台北謀職等等都市最底層者的匯集地，和以前在東區經常遇見翁嘉銘的雅緻小咖啡室距離是遙遠的。
