This is the visa office of America's defacto embassy in Taiwan called the AIT (American Institute Taiwan).
It's amazing that with all the unofficial connections between the ROC and the US that they couldn't have gotten better property and a better building. It looks like barracks for construction workers.
Is that the strategy? Low key? Well I say it's an eyesore and an embarrassment. Any Americans feel like weighing in on this?

Well, I suppose, citing other building conditions in Taiwan, that they could have gotten a worse building. That said, I will say that the first time I was looking for it I passed it twice before I realized that that building that didn't really resemble or represent to me anything American was, in fact, the "de facto American embassy."
That is my weigh-in...and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in D.C. isn't the most amazing "de facto" Taiwan embassy I've ever seen either. Still, they got the better end of the deal.
