Michael Jackson shopping in Taipei 1996
by Zimmermann 054: Michael Jackson
Word got around fast in Taipei in 1996: Michael Jackson had stepped out of his hotel to shop, and that was one day before he played Taiwan on the HIStory World Tour. Omer Bhatti came along for the walk. Their route took in a toy store, a record shop tucked into Ximending, and some electronics spots where CDs and gadgets got a look. Signatures and hugs went to the staff, and over on the street, faces were up against the glass hoping for a peek at the King of Pop, Rock and Soul.
