Artist's commentary
It's a defeat for digital equipment. :-)
I actually have a gag I perpetrated at a Taipei local food stall, but since this is also about Taiwan Reitaisai, I'm dropping in this strip as an introduction of how to ride in taxis.
Printing out the hotel name and address in large print ahead of time and showing that was the way to go.
Ran-shama's group were in a separate taxi.
