Every country has its unique soundtrack — and Taiwan’s everyday sounds are full of memories and stories. In this episode, Joeru takes us on an audio journey through the sounds that define life in Taiwan — from morning cicadas and buzzing scooters to the evening garbage trucks that play cheerful tunes.
In this episode, we cover:
– Why cicadas mean “summer has arrived” ☀️
– The sounds that fill Taipei mornings: scooters, alarms, and busy streets 🛵
– Iconic tones from FamilyMart, 7-Eleven, and the MRT 🎶
– Why Taiwan’s musical garbage trucks surprise so many foreigners 🗑️
– A night call from the black-crowned night heron, Taiwan’s slow-walking park bird 🐦
