I love – SCOOTERS!

I really do. And I just have to express my strong feelings for them right here on my blog.

· I love –flying over the roads
· I love – that the windows are always rolled down
· I love – that I can always hear and feel the wind
· I love – the face masks we wear when we ride scooters. (yes I do too)
· I love – hitting bone-jarring potholes at frequent but irregular intervals
· I love – how much stuff you can fit on a scooter, be it people or supplies
· I love – the traffic rules in this country (or maybe I should say the lack thereof)
· I love – driving the wrong direction down the road. (It scared me the first time.)
· I love – going through red lights (with everyone else around me doing it too)
· I love – how it’s much easier to pass a slow scooter in front of you.
· I love – when I’m going as fast as the car next to me. Makes it feel tons faster. I love speed!
· I love – continually dodging the potholes, bumps, etc. I hit ‘em more often than not. There are just so many of them!
· I love – weaving in and out of cars --- especially wonderful when the cars are backed up in traffic and I can just drive right by :D
· I love – how impatient the locals can be and how they always start moving before the light turns green. (Granted, we do wait until the cross traffic light is red – or at least yellow.)
· I love – that my knees are all banged up from bumping the scooter when I hit the aforementioned bumps in the road. (all part of the experience)

When you come to Taiwan, you HAVE to experience it on a scooter! It’s a classic taste of local life. Plus, it rocks.
