Let’s go for a scooter ride! In Taiwan, in the city! Sound a little scary, perhaps? Well, there are a lot of folks already out there, puttering away on their scooters. You should see rush hour in Taipei, for example. You may be overwhelmed by all the office workers on their motorscooters rushing home, or wherever. Why the popularity of scooters for commuting? Well, one reason is, in traffic clogged Taipei, car drivers have to pay for parking (sometimes expensive) and motorscooter owners don’t have to pay! Let’s take a closer look at some of the 10,000,000 (that’s right 10 million) motorcycles (scooters, whatever!) on the streets and roads of Taiwan. Beep, beep!
There are only 7 kinds of cypress trees in the world, scattered across North America, Japan and Taiwan.
The red cypress and the yellow cypress can be found in Taiwan’s national parks and forests. These specimens are considered to be national treasures and are called the “tree of god†by the Taiwanese. These trees like humidity (wetness) and fog so that’s where they mostly grow. There are some really old trees here… like over 1,000 years old! Come on along on our video tour for some tree hugging amid spectacular scenery.
