This week we didn't get out a whole lot. The rains have been relentless although I think we're safe from typhoons for now. Last Saturday we did head out to buy some electronics at a huge outlet here called Nova (yes that's my name too!) It was quite an experience - a ton of little shops all within a 4+ story building selling cell phones, computer parts, and anything else you might imagine.

Walking back home we saw this scooter. This isn't an unusual sight here. Everybody takes dogs and kids and large packages and whatever else they need to transport. We were just lucky enough to catch it on camera finally.


I wonder if our dog Ripley would like to ride on a scooter. Not quite the same thing as sticking her head out the window :)

I'm also going to post a new video for this week. Every weekend in Taiwan you can find kids getting together for dancing competitions. I don't know how many times we've seen something like this. The video quality is a little bad, and I think they were just warming up so I'm not too sure about the quality of the dancing either.




What was the best thing you saw this week?

   Dogs are nuts. We have a rabbit. No way would she like a ride on a scooter.

   Dogs are nuts! But fun :) I had a couple of rabbits when I was a kid - definitely a great pet. You're probably right about them not liking scooters though. Not to mention how difficult it would be to hold one and drive one of those crazy things!
