Cross walk.

While crossing the street in any country it is important to be alert. Taiwan is not the scariest street-crossing country I've ever been to - but I'm still on guard at all times, due to the number of scooters, bikes, cars an buses that are whizzing by or wheedling through tight alleyways. But, I have a strategy. The human shield strategy. I stick to the group, I don't walk ahead, I scan the intersection and I like to keep at least one other person between me and the traffic. I won't lie to you guys, I sidled up to this old lady and used her as a buffer between me and oncoming traffic. And I will do it again. Safety in numbers, people.
