Short Stay in Kao-hsiung, back to Taipei, back on a massage chair.

My adventure in Kao-hsiung consisted of too much time in netcafe (again), and a delicious food called 鸭肉饭/下水汤 (which is basically rice and soup, but which different parts of a duck in each).

However, the ride back to Taipei was incredible! -- I decided to head back to Taipei to recuperate some and greet Rosanne, who is visiting tonight from HK for 4 days. I don't mean to rub it in but ... yeah ... I'm taking holiday from my holiday.

How incredible? Click on the title to see the provider Ubus. Here's my take:

This is an adjustable leather massage chair. There are about 15-17 of them on this huge bus. The lower deck is for luggage and bathroom, which can be entered from inside the bus.

Other Amenities: AV station with VOD movies from Hollywood, China, Japan, Korea, video gaming, and more; Some GPS thing; Wet towel and water; Newspaper and Magazines.

You can bring you own champagne or whatever to max out the expereince.

The ride took 5 hours in medium rain and had about 4 stops at major cities. Cost: 710NT. Question: Where can we export this thing? China? China? or China? Maybe not, with the oil tax and the new railways. Or maybe yes, with all the new highways and a steepening propensity to try news things. Not to mention the lingering curiousity of how a “华人“ is different from, well, a “中国人”. Well, it's good bus; driving is tiring; and, quite simply, China's big, and big.
