Taipei Taxis usually have some surprises up their sleeves, with multiple DVD players, karaoke systems, and imaginative nicotine delivery systems. Here are a couple of recent ones that made me smile sitting in the back listening to wailing Chinese pop music.


This one was great – the guy had two cell phones that perfectly squeezed into the space between the steering wheel and the airbag (now that would really be speed dialing if he crashes). The fact that the other phone was a Sony Ericsson made me question which came first – the car or the phone? And what was on the screen when I got in after landing? – a 3G web site of flights landing at the airport.


Slightly less practical, I admit – but why bother about being able to see out, when it is just so pretty!
