Some of the returnees even declare that today's Taipei seems to have been touched by magic. Yesterday's old houses and narrow lanes have given way to new buildings and broad avenues. Sewers have been covered and highways widened.
有些人還會覺得台北市變得都不認識了，昔日舊居的平房已改建成大廈或公寓，與兒時玩伴嬉戲的巷弄也已打通成寬敞的大道，馬路拓寬了，下水道都加了蓋．．．．因為，時代在進步，社會在發展，台北市也一直以穩健的步伐，急起直追。
