It’s time to vote, people!
Yes, leave your reason and logic at the door; it’s election-time in Taiwan. What does that mean? Tanks. Tanks and LEDs!
Cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
Underlighting.
But wait a second! Haven’t we seen these before? 2004? 2006?
Shilin, 2004
This seems … familiar … except updated with LEDs. What next? LCD screens all over it? I should not joke.

The apocolypse approaches.
Dog in a basket, on a bicycle. That is all.
Like I said. Stormtrooper on a bicycle. Yes, it’s the Deaflympics closing ceremony.
The right tools for the right job (notice the saw, for cutting that huge diameter of pipe). Of course, four people need to watch at all times, in China.
It shouldn’t, but I found myself exceedingly amused by seeing a scooter on fire while on the way to a factory visit.
A rather unfortunate choice of font …
Beijing gets the Olympics. Taipei gets the Deaflympics. Or is that being unfair?
Anyway, some sort of opening ceremony was passing by at the end of my street, so I grabbed my camera and was met with a Batman-esque (Tim Burton vintage) floating barrage balloon parade. Sports shoes, frogs, sea horses … and all guarded by a team of Star Wars’ Storm Troopers. It just makes so much sense.
Frog (the mascot) I understand (although why choose a frog? What do they have to do with hearing impairment?) Training shoe; I understand. Sea horse? …
Storm Troopers. Yup.
Storm Troopers avec floating training shoe. Use the force!
These are not the droids you are looking for.
While I recover from another weekend, I thought I would post the most appropriate photo taken by Michael while waiting at traffic lights, that sums up the weekend … like he says, in Taipei, you don’t need to go looking for crazy things, the crazy things come to you.
More photos on the way soon.
Doggles. My new word. And happy birthday to me!
