The Scooter--a great way to get around Taiwan

This is Lyn who is from South Africa. We met at the Taipei 101 New Year's Eve event and became great friends. I took the bus and train (about 6 hours) to get to her place in Luodong, just south of Ilan. It is much cooler here than in Tainan and it rains a great deal; thus, the rain gear. The scooter is a great way to travel about Taiwan and there are thousands (probably millions) on the island. It is also great fun!! (Yes, Lyn has a helmet but took it off for the picture.)
