I was in high school in Taiwan. Walked past the living room where my parents were watching the news and saw the planes go into the towers. I thought they were watching a movie. They only told me about 30 minutes later what actually happened.

I went to an American high school in Taiwan at the time. Classes were cancelled for the week, and in the following week we had soldiers guarding the campus.

interesting, was there a lot of fear?

I don't recall feeling a lot of fear. Taiwan is not very relevant to Islamic extremism. There was of course a lot of chatter, a lot of meetings, etc. But the kids seemed to be more abuzz about the drama of it rather than feeling fear, iirc.
