Mr. McDonald?, Your plane is waiting

Well, I thought that I would be story-less until I arrived in the ROC (Republic of China, or Taiwan). However, I am now one of "those" people, a last minute rush to find my seat on the plane, (and in the business class section of the plane). In my defense, I did not hear the announcement for my flight, and the first thing I knew some lady was touching my shoulder and letting me know that my flight was waiting for me, arrrghhh.

I am not sure, but until this moment I am not sure if I will have the same type of adventures I had in India. They have 7-11's everywhere, Starbucks and McDonald's, which is a little bit of home in a sea of traditional Chinese characters. The only things I recognize are the numbers.

However, I have extended my riding season, yes, I am riding a scooter in Taiwan, (I would not have tried this in India). Fortunately, the rules are similar, except when making left turns. In this case, you have to go to the specially designated spot for scooters and wait. A better way to explain it is you make left turns in two stages.

I am sure glad I arrived in October, the cooler season because I am not sure I could handle the plus 33 (humidex of 40 to 50 and a UV index 11 and 14). Can you say, broiled and boiled at the same time.
