15 Years in Taiwan

and I still see things that are completely surreal.

Today I was driving to work and I saw a woman walking down the street wearing one of those flower-print face and head coverings that female construction workers sometimes wear here.

So far, so normal.

Then I noticed she had a large lizard perched on the back of her head. The lizard was about the size of an iguana but thinner and its head and body was about 10 cm into the air.

Both parties seemed pretty happy with the arrangement, so it must be a pet lizard, but it still made me do a double take.

I wonder if its some new fad that's just come over from Japan.

Wish I had a photo, but I was driving.
