It's all about the grades
One thing that shocked me was the amount of tuition centres in Taipei. It's a huge thing to take up private tuition outside of school in Asia to improve their grades, but seeing the level of competitiveness there was just beyond belief.
The posters you see on the wall are the grades of students taking tuition there. And only the top 5% makes it up there, so you can imagine how many people are doing this.
Pressure cooker society, no?
