following an unknown path

where i park (3)

Welcome to a special installment of "where i park," where I also show you how I get home after shopping.

Here is the third installment of my random series about where I park my moped here in Taiwan:

Exhibit C: I park in an outdoor, moped only parking lot.

Actually, I did chose this photo of an outdoor parking lot not because of the parking, but to show you how I get home from Costco with all my purchases. 

I have been blessed with the gift of knowing exactly how much will fit into my special Costco bag, so that it can still fit on my moped between my legs.  Now, fit in the bag on the moped and be able to be carried by Amanda are not exactly the same thing. :)

Here is the second installment of my random series about where I park my moped here in Taiwan.

This one is entitled: Exhibit B: I park any where I want.

Specifically, my moped is parked in front of a "burner" where Taiwanese people burn money to gods or spirits.  (Charolette or others who know Chinese: what is the Chinese name or more technical English term for this thing?)

I was going to start this "series" (or show this collection later when it was complete), but there is no time like the present, eh?   And showing this video, made me want to show you the above photo as well.

The theme of this series is "where I park."  I want to show you some of the places my moped gets parked.  Why?  Because I think it is interesting.  It's an off beat way to share a little bit of Taiwan's culture with you.  When you live in over populated area you park in some mighty fine places.  In fact, I park my little scooter in places I would never have conceived of parking a vehicle before coming to Taiwan.  So, I hereby officially welcome you to join me as I park my moped around Taiwan (well, probably just around Kaohsiung). 

Without further ado, for the first installment of my (probably random) series, "where i park," I proudly give you the photo above as Exhibit A: "i park underground in a moped only parking lot." 

P.S. Bonus points go to whoever can point out (add a note on flickr) which moped is mine.
