The Rainbow Bridge is located in Taipei’s Songshan District. Similar to the Crescent Bridge, the bridge is for pedestrians and bikers only. With its unique S-shape, when viewed at night from beneath after the lights are lit, the bridge resembles a flying dragon suspended in mid-air, for all to see in its full magnificence.

Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common.
