1. It's taken me a while to notice, but Taipei doesn't seem to have any stupid-ass boy racers! And no drunken teenagers either - probably because the poor kids are in school until 9pm every night and Saturday mornings as well...
2. There's a horrible sulphur smell coming out of all the storm drains today. Should I worry?
3. The taxi drivers in the city are mostly from outside of Taipei. They come here during the week, and work ALL the time, then go home on the weekend. They sleep in their cars, mostly under bridges or in the few pockets of semi-rural areas still remaining in the outskirts of the city. You have to keep an eye on your driver if you take a cab anywhere, in case he falls asleep!
4. All the bread here is sweet. It's awful. And you don't even want to know how many "treats" they can make out of red beans and rice. Blurggghh.
5. In Chinese, the answer to "how are you?" (assuming that the answer is going to be 'so-so' or 'ok' or something) translates into English as "two horses and two tigers". That's definitely how I feel some days?!!?
Anyway, better go. I need some dinner. Hope you are all feeling two horses and two tigers at the very least!

You know what you should do? Get a bread maker. Surely they have the ingredients for non-sweet bread...Then you could make your own vogel-esk goodness.
