Plus, there are 3 McDonalds within walking distance to my house plus... It's only NT$49 for a coffee and a sausage muffin. If I go to Dante or Ikari, cost would be at least double. (Not really, a big deal..and I like the coffee at McDonalds)<br /><br />And lastly, its not just at MickeyD's, its at other food places too. I see dogs on tables almost daily. Just today, I saw a women walk her dog into a bakery (with open shelves)<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-46524650242538383162014-11-03T17:23:50.455+08:002014-11-03T17:23:50.455+08:00Maybe Taipei needs a website like this from the Wa...Maybe Taipei needs a website like this from the Warrington Cycle Campaign:<br /><br />http://www.warringtoncyclecampaign.co.uk/facility-of-the-month/<br /><br />StefanMuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041616398172997165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-70216305928853727132014-11-03T16:22:44.736+08:002014-11-03T16:22:44.736+08:00That's about the funniest Taiwanese joke I'...That's about the funniest Taiwanese joke I've ever heard!<br /><br />@Anon: Stop eating at McDonald's.<br /><br />@Andrew: The spirit of a law preventing foreigners performing is to stop them doing a job better for free that a local would charge for. Sometimes they go with the spirit of the law and not the letter, depending on who's involved.

He discovered many problems. A few 'going ahead' arrow signs painted on the lane pointed directly toward a tree, a concrete block, or a dead end. He swore that if he were the mayor, he would have found out and scorn at the persons who were in charge of that the ridiculous design. <br /><br />Isn't the bike-lane a good wrap-up for Taiwan's status quo? Wouldn't the dog on the bike lane be President Ma and Chairman Xi the one holding the leash? <br /> an angry taiwanesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-23807473914223381522014-11-03T10:56:11.675+08:002014-11-03T10:56:11.675+08:00I love how they are inviting foreigners to openly ...I love how they are inviting foreigners to openly break the laws they were just as eager to enforce a couple months ago.NONEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312011183953017842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-61844384915782287702014-11-03T10:52:59.045+08:002014-11-03T10:52:59.045+08:00Re: Talent show.....very bizarre.

(included an easier to find fa piao(?) receipt page). <br /><br /><br />Re: Dogs on the bike path, here is my "pet" peeve.... I find it absolutely disgusting that people with pets think its OK to allow their dogs to sit on tables and chairs in Taiwan. This happens on an almost daily occurrence especially at McDonalds. There is nothing like eating your food from a table that a dog's butt just touched.<br /><br />In addition, the smokers they allow to sit at their outdoor tables create a nasty smoke cloud that you have to walk through to get inside. I've spoken to managers numerous times plus have tried to contact McD TW corporate via their website, but of course, they don't post contact links. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
