They are evvvvvverywhere, S L and XL. Taiwan's main religions arrrrrre- Confucian, Daoist, and Folk religions. I think Daoist has the coolest temples and houses dozens of Gods to help you for differing problems. Walking around the streets sometimes you see tables set out in front of businesses with fruit and incense. So bascially this is like an offering to your ancestors on full-moons. Gotta watch out for the little trash can looking things that they burn fake paper money in for their ancestors as well; I thought this was a trashcan and threw some trash in there one night, talk about a bad omen.

When saying a prayer, you write in on a wooden tag and walk around the temple, then you ring this bell to send the prayer off.

Offerings
You walk around with a bunch of incense and offer one incense to each god surrounding the main temple.
