Culture shocks while visiting Kathmandu, Nepal

We're in Taiwan now (at a hot springs resort 😍 in Yangmingshan National Park, outside of Taipei). Not really any major culture shocks yet, aside from people being very polite. It's my first time in Taiwan, and I can speak a bit of Mandarin. It's been enough to get by so far....

This question comes up in my occult work, but it also interests me more generally: I want to know when preserving continuity is valuable and when it simply preserves assumptions that no longer work.bySpace Dancer...
