I'm surprised my book has made it out there, unless they read it when they were back here in Taiwan, which is more likely now that I think about it.

We've been half-heartedly pulled over a couple of times over here by very relaxed and easy-going police officers. It seems to be a completely different story in North America. I don't miss it at all. Glad to hear that you were able to sort your visa out, despite other minor annoyances throughout the day. Cops certainly seem more aggressive back home than they do over here.

That was a pretty rough day. But the important thing is that you got the visa stuff all sorted out! Poor Mark. That was a pretty rough day.

In the country of victorious democracy where you are from, cops arrest people for "erratic behaviour/driving". But before handicuffing them, cops use their tazers. Could something like that happen in Taiwan? Just saw a cnn video clip how <a href="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/2008/02/16/pkg.cop.arrests.firefighter.kmov" rel="nofollow">policeman arrested an on-duty firefighter</a>. Surprisingly no tazers were used. Very kind cop. In the country of victorious democracy where you are from, cops arrest people for “erratic behaviour/driving”.
