Betel Nuts. They are sold...
Betel Nuts. They are sold everywhere in Taiwan. In many places, Betel Nuts are sold by half-naked girls in a little glass-box kiosk. This shocks many foreigners, as if this display of humanity is somehow strange to them or it's only a Taiwanese thing. Please. I am fed up with travellers that don't want to admit or fail to see the same humanity that simply comes in different expressions all over the world. Narrow-minded people are exactly the reason why we have wars, racism, sexism, and all the other stupidity. I guess that's also all very human but it doesn't have to be. Okay, onto the main topic. I personally was amazed by the betel nuts when I first tried it. Why? I just couldn't believe that such a potent and enchanting drug is sold cheaply everywhere in Taiwan, 24hrs a day. However, I think it definitely beats prohibition, and the fact that the Taiwanese society functions perfectly...
