Für Elise is trash

[peterintaiwan]

I really don't think Für Elise is trash, but now every time I hear it I think of garbage. Much like the Ice Cream truck playing Scott Joplins rag "The Entertainer", the garbage trucks in Taipei City play Ludwig Von Beethoven's bagatelle to announce that they are there and ready to pick up the refuse

How's the tap water?

[peterintaiwan]

I do not drink the tap water. I drink bottled. Most people have a electric boiling thing that will boil the water before you drink it.

bag fee encourages fly-tipping

Official garbage bags are only used in Taipei. It's a good idea except that it encourages tightwads and the severely hard up to simply dump their trash in regular bags wherever they feel like they can get away with it, such as a riverside or on a mountain road.
