You'll Get a Kick Out of This if You've Lived in Taiwan

A friend sent this to me. I just laugh it off. You see, I used to work at ICRT for years and it's where my radio career began. And the scooters...boy, they're all over the island. It's amazing how many people can be stacked on one moving scooter.

By the way, I highly encourage those of you who have not been to Taiwan to see it for yourself. It's unique and you won't find better food anywhere else on this planet!
