dragonboat festival

We went home to eat baazan and watch autoracing. These activities went well. I also squeaked in a solo trip to the round curbs by the house, and quickly had a handful of kids learning how to push on my board while I rested. I learned **********s but only on at curb height. I went for a walk up the mountain and found a series of old style houses that I would love to live in. They're only five minutes scooter ride from the city, but up there, you can only hear birds and the wind in the leaves. Because it's a few hundred meters up, the air is much cleaner. Taiwan is really beautiful if you can get away from the places people actually live. Now it's noon on the last day of hte holiday and Taipei is completely empty. Should be a good afternoon.
