I HEART LIFE!

Anyone who lives in Taiwan knows the Blue Trucks of Death.

They are blue and they will bring you instant death, if you give them a chance.

They seem to outnumber taxis both in numbers and in number-of-injuries-incurred.

There are countless anecdotes about murderous blue truck drivers, but this is not one of those. This is a happy story.

I was standing on an overpass one day, taking random photos of cars (Yes, this is how every normal, 34yo Croatian woman living in Taipei passes her time!). I saw a blue truck approach and I zoomed in as much as my poor little cheapo camera could, hoping I’d get one of those typical, scary-looking blue-truck drivers. You know the kind I mean, dirty tank-top, one leg on the dashboard (sometimes it's the RIGHT leg, too!), flip-flops, mouth red with betelnut...

So, I go *snap*... and I get this:

Nothing special it seems. Two guys in a blue truck, kitchen appliances in the back... but wait till I zoom in:

Not only do they not look anything like I expected, but they're WEARING SEAT BELTS! and look at the t-shirt print: "I HEART LIFE"

OK, OK, that one guy does have his foot on the dashboard, but to his defense, he's not the driver, and more importantly, he's not wearing flip-flops!

Isn't this just the warmest, sweetest, loveliest blue-truck story you've ever read?!
