Taiwan is one of those places that never is boring. Every day I see something that makes me laugh or think WTF?
Today I saw a couple of things:
Stuck in a traffic jam on the expressway feeding onto the #1 freeway, a guy in the car in front wound down his window and let off a skyrocket from his hand.
Going through the #1 toll gate just out of Taipei, and an ambulance queued behind me, sirens blaring & lights flashing. I couldn’t get out of his way, so I just paid the toll and sped off. I looked in the mirror to see the ambulance paying the toll also to get through. Geez I would have thought they’d get through for free :loco:
What are some of the things that make you laugh here?
I was in a 7-11 near the night market on Wenhua Rd, Chiayi, when the automatic door opened and a big ass pig walked in. He looked around a bit and left. It was so weird even the Taiwanese were taking pictures.
Riding home on my scooter one night, I passed some kind of religious ceremony. At first I thought it was a funeral, but when I got up to it there, on a platform, was a sculpture of a pig lying prostate being mounted by a goat! Ever since that I take my digital camera with me wherever I go.
There’s a midget in our neighborhood; he rides a tricycle to get around and likes to pee on the wheels of parked cars. Strange in a Twin Peaks kind of way, I guess.

That shows you one more time, always get injured, heart attack, car/scooter accident or any other immediate health condition right in front of the hospital. If they need to carry you to the hospital by ambulance, just tell them to turn of their horn and let you die in peace.
I guess you won’t find that kind of fresh meat at our local Wellcome. Did you try buying that pig?[/quote]
you’d need to check it’s date to see just how fresh it was. And good luck with that.

Bet it didn’t have a barcode on it either.[/quote]
Just peel one off their lunch boxes and complain that it does not fit into the microwave.
I wrote Wanling guanling on a post it and stuck it to my monitor, what a catchy phrase. Ratlung will have to listen to me singing it all day long, as well as any poor unfortunate soul that comes to our office.

[quote=“irishstu”]So… erm… WHAT… EVERRR!!
The point is, did she say it to the PIG?? I bet she did.[/quote]
She said “My god, there was just some foreigners in here asking about a spit roast, and in walks a pig”
