Drinking in Taiwan
Here is a recent message from the Tainan Bulletin. I am posting this because it is a gracious gesture ad brings up an important issue. Of all the foreigners that die in Taiwan, most that I know of are alcohol related driving deaths.
Good day my fellow Tainan expats,
I just wanted to remind all you good people that your folks expect to see you, alive and well,
either here, or in your home towns, in the not too distant future. I’m sure they are looking
forward to seeing you and hearing about how your life overseas is going. I’m sure you aren’t
thinking about them when you are getting on your motorcycle at 4am in front of the Armory,
not exactly in your right mind. So, i want to give you my phone number. 06-292-2545
If you are broke, get in a taxi and call me. I’ll tell the driver where I live and I’ll pay for the
ride when he gets here, and then I’ll drive you home. I’d rather meet a drunk foreigner in the middle of the night, than another grieving parent.
Cheers,
Kiteboarderjoe
