Well, I am back in Canada, and back at work to pay for this amazing trip. There are a few things I need to do,
1) Add pictures of final few days in Taiwan
2) Re-order my posts so that readers can start at beginning of trip
3) Sort the thousands of pictures into a coherent storyline,
4) Start planning my next escape.

It is not if, but a matter of when
Down to the last few days, and while I thought there would be no more adventures in Taiwan. It was too early to send out the fat lady. I have to thank Dave for this opportunity to add to the adventure.
I have to say that this event was certainly less painful than the last time Dave and I were involved in a vehicular accident. There was no hospital visit, no ride in the back of a police car, and most importantly no damage. Of course we were riding two different scooters, and Dave's only involvement, was hearing the crash and sliding scooter, (not mine but the other guys).
I still don't know why the guy drove close enough so that his mirror (or handle bar) went under my right arm, but he did. I think he might have felt he had to be in my line of travel, and I should have let him in, BUT even if I was so inclined to let him in, it was pretty much impossible. All I know is that I felt a tug, (or pull) on the inside of my forearm, and then I heard a crash and sliding scooter behind me. I stopped the scooter and drove back to the intersection to make sure there were no injuries or damage. The guy was not injured and his scooter appeared to have no new damage and it started so all was good from my perspective. He on the other hand probable felt I was at fault, but.....
