Family On The Same Motorbike

Shot in the city of Taipei, Taiwan.

The things called common senses varied in the places and in successive periods. To glimpse them was one of the interesting things to do during traveling abroad. In successive periods, the common sense in Japan is not the common sense in where I travel. I feel fresh when I see it.

One of those kinds of thins in Taiwan was the way to ride a motorbike. It is prohibited by law in Japan to ride double on a motorbike, even though on a bicycle. Yet it seemed not to be prohibited here. I saw an enormous number of motorbikes on this island. And it was common to ride double on a motorbike. There is more. I often people riding triple on a motorbike.

The family in this photo was also riding triple on a motorbike. Anyway, it seemed to be the same to have to wear a helmet on a motorbike in both Japan and Taiwan.
