Hello Motos

I snapped these on our way to do some shopping at a local electronics market. We were crossing a bridge over one of the main streets near Taipei Main Station. This is a pretty typical scene on the streets here.
Motorcycles/scooters are the preferred form of transport in this densely populated city. I think this is a cool shot. The red light was directly below me.

Taiwan has the highest percentage of moto/scooter ownership in the world.

I slid over to the other side of the bridge to catch the same group of riders speeding off.

It looks a bit chaotic, but the traffic in this town moves with remarkable efficiency.

Pictures!

A typical scene in the office...busy, busy, busy. The red shirts have to school logo on them. We were given several but never told we had to wear them. Carol, the boss, likes us to wear them but has never insisted on it...I rarely wear mine.

Running around the city. Snapped this one over by my favorite bakery. I think it's a pretty good shot of the scenery in Taipei.

I found this pic on another blog and thought I'd display it here, too. This is a parking lot at one of the universities in Taipei. If you click and enlarge this photo, you'll get a better feel for the magnitude. This is the motorcycle/scooter capital of the world! Imagine trying to find your bike in this insanity.
