1/23/24 Taiwan
This one was a relief after the German one when the flag was located behind two rows of iron fencing, or the Russian one where I had to walk through a line of five Secret Service cars. The flag was inside the front hall. There were two glass doors between the front hall and the street. When I approached, to my shock the first door automatically opened, even though it was after 9 at night. So I walked through it. A man came through and I said, “Okay if I take a picture of the flag?” He said cheerfully, “Okay, as long as you take it from here” (i.e., between the two doors rather than actually going through the second one into the hall). So I got a close-up of the flag, albeit with some reflection on the glass.
