I visited Taipei and the Shilin Night Market in September 2016

A deafening roar startled me, I skipped a heartbeat or two. It sounded like a jet plane was coming up right behind me. I turned around, saw nothing. Then caught a glimpse of something passing by above me. Looked up. It was a plane, a passenger plane. Flying not far above the roof tops of the high rise surrounding me. The sound was so loud, it would be impossible to have a conversation right now.
