Hey Doc

If you have never been to Taipei, You won't know exactly what I am talking about. Its the traffic. Driving in Taipei is like in a mad house, you have buses, cars, and scooters jam packed on the street. Traffic lanes mean nothing to the drivers, pedestrians will have to fend for themselves. BUT, you rarely see any auto accidents. I have concluded that is because of all the drivers are alert, expect any unexpected at all times. You can have orderly drivers and crazy drivers but you can't mix them, accidents will happen.

The reason of bringing this up is, I got my brand new driver's license this morning. The process was pretty easy and painless. I simply shown them my California license accompanied with a prove by the Taiwan affair Office in San Francisco that the license is valid and a physical test to show that I can see and walk. Will I dare to drive on the street ? Not yet..

Now, if you are wondering "What's this got to do with the photo ?", well, underneath that concrete elevated street used to be my old house where I grew up as a teenager. The whole neighborhood is no longer exist. The only evidence left from the pass was a house where I stood and took this picture. There used to be empty fields for the kids to roam around. The tallest building in the area was a row of two-story houses.

I wonder what happened to the rest of the kids.
