I got it. Finally, it's mine. My latest adventure in Taiwan: a scooter. The streets are choc-a-block full of 'em! With all the congestion and other vehicular traffic (buses and cars) scooters are the best way to get from point "Here" to point "There". I've driven a scooter once before in my life and that was in a much less crowded environment -- Bali, Indonesia. Now, many months later I'm sitting on my brand new used scooter and the feeling is something akin to not having road a bike for a long time and starting up again...only this time, the bike is motorized!
I bought her (the scooter) from one of my co-workers as he contract expired and he was on his way back to the States. Can you guess what color she is??? Well, under the years of horrible air pollution there's a cool dark silver. Hence the name, "Quicksilver"...also the parallel image to riding a scooter and riding a horse.
I haven't worked up driving in the teeming streets of Taipei yet, just cruising around Banqiao for now. Gotta jet, I'm going to a concert tonight!
