Transport for Two In Taiwan

October 30, 2007 · 10 comments

You have to love the creativity some people have and i guess the total lawlessness in some countries allowing them to get away with it. Now, I`m very used to living within a sea of mopeds here in Japan but generally the road rules are predomninantly observed here, 1 or 2 to a bike maximum, but I mean heavens above the seat this kids sitting on was strapped on with a few rounds of electrical tape.

I like how the chair is strapped in but the kid isn’t. Do you know how freakin’ expensive chairs are in Taiwan?

The laws can be so different in other countries…..I saw a video on youtube a few months back about traffic in South East Asia and just how lawless it can be…

Sorry never got back with you about the text ad thing, anyhow…yeah Taipei, what a place! My wife is Taiwanese – we spend a lot of time going back and forth…some of the (dirt) roads outside of Taipei…down south would surely give most western more than a shock…hopefully in the next 5 to 10 years things will become more developed and people will realize that strapping a plastic chair to a moped is probably not the best way to transport your next of kin…

correction, not a plastic chair but, wow…great picture anyway…
I can just see it…
“Honey, I am heading to the store, don’t worry this time I tied down the bamboo chair twice, junior will be fine…”
…she wouldn’t let me get a foot out of the house.
