Straw Hat in Kaohsiung
Sunlight spills through the open doorway of a small Kaohsiung convenience store, illuminating a cluttered counter where a middle-aged clerk wipes down a glass carafe filled with iced milk tea. The harsh morning light catches the condensation on the plastic cups stacked nearby, against the dark, polished wood of the register. One potted spider plant sits on the edge of the counter, its leaves reaching toward the street, while a faded red sign advertising local snacks hangs just out of focus in the background. The clerk’s hand moves with practiced efficiency, adjusting a straw hat that rests beside a basket of loose change, showing the quiet, mundane rhythm of a morning shift in southern Taiwan.
