This would almost be funny if it wasn't nearly so dangerous. In Taiwan, one often sees motorcycles driving down the sidewalks instead of streets, and crossing normal to the flow of traffic. Also, I have found that many Taiwanese are quite economical, which is usually laudable, in that they will use just enough of something to get the job done, and no more... such as 6,000 feet of taxiway with a soft snow berm at the end.
