Annoying car scrapping stickers

One of the interesting things about Taiwan is the cultural attitude towards personal space and privacy. Often times on older vehicles, various firms will paste small stickers on the car. These advertise car scrapping services. I find this very interesting in the sense that in the West, drivers would probably sue these firms for the audacity of placing stickers on vehicles. Or would visit the firms and complain for the violation of personal space. Not in Taiwan. Taiwanese take this like many other violations of personal space in stride.
