men at work (simply taiwan 6)
No time to comment tonight, so I will simply give you a photo of one of my all time favorite signs in Taiwan!! I love that the construction worker is wearing a pointy hat! :)
And, these guys below who are cleaning the street . . . I just love that their pointy hats are covered in bight-can't-be-missed reflective material! Classic!








































How funny!! I love it. :)

I have never seen those brightly colored cone hats! Hilarious - but practical!! I am enjoying your series on simply TW. Keep them coming.

thanks for all the compliments/comments/thank yous. I'm glad yall are enjoying my little posts about Taiwan.
It has been good for me to focus on Taiwan when really all I wanna think about is going home. :)
@Sandy
I actually took that photo in Meinong.
@Carleigh
We did go to the top of a department store in downtown Kaohsiung . . . and ride something like a pirate's ship and some other kind "rides." Insteringly enough, I've never been taken back to that rooftop since I've moved here; although, I have been inside that department store again. I think the rooftop rides are quite run down now.
Dream mall is brand new and on the out skirts of downtown. It puts that department store to shame in a big way! :)
