The couple lived on Tunhua South Road in Taipei, went down one flight to their parked car, drove to work and then drove back home. It was a life where, as James once put it, "the soles of our shoes never had to touch Taipei's grime."
張赤道曾經對太太這麼形容自己在台北的生活，住在敦化南路從一樓下去就是車庫，每天從家裡開車上班，進到公司，「鞋子都不會踩到台北的泥土」。
