The University scooter parking lot. The Taiwanese don't say 'finding a needle in a haystack' rather the saying goes something like,"it's like trying to find your scooter in a Uni scooter parking lot". And I have "lost" my scooter a couple of times in this parking lot. Think you have problems remembering which floor you've parked you car on in the Oracle car park....think again!
Arthur Dent may have travelled the Universe, but my travels will only take me as far as Taiwan. So these are my ramblings of living, studying and hitchhiking in Taiwan.

And here she is...Scooter Number 2. It's a 125cc Yamaha and optimistically has the word 'speed' written on the front and side. Good news...I paid a little more this time, and this has resulted in my new scooter benefiting from a rear shock absorber and front brakes. Nice! The green sticker is my pass to be able to park the scooter in the "exclusive" covered parking at Uni (like I am some posh or important dude). Truth be told, I never could find my scooter amongst the myriads of scooters parked in the main scooter park (I will post some photos on my next blog entry so you can seem what I mean).
My new favouritest place for lunch time food, after a hard mornings slog at Uni. The food is cooked just outside the small seating area, so you can either sit down and eat, or as prefer to do walk home with my takeaway. Stir fired rice and pork, or beef. Very tasty, in fact I am a bit addicted to this grub. And of course I hear you asking "how much?". NTD$55 which is roughly £1.20. And it comes with the added bonus of a small Chinese lesson from the lady as she babbles away in Chinese at warp factor 7...gotta love Taiwan!
