Dashun bridge



Saturday 10 January 2009

Rush hour traffic on the Dashun bridge. Wait a minute, you say, but today is Saturday! Sure, people work, but there isn't really a rush hour on Saturday.

Unless you live in Taiwan and the government makes stupid policies about holidays. You see, January 1 is a holiday here, so it's off. It was a Thursday this year, so the government decided that we should all have Friday off, too. How generous, right? WRONG! It wasn't a day off, it was a day transferred. Everybody had to work today. It was a normal school day, a normal work day, just like this week had two Fridays. Ugh.
