You are not in Kansas anymore Day 30
Betel nut beauty - When you are in Taiwan, you will see shops which have neon lights on it. They are very bright and colourful, and you won't miss them. Similarly, it is to attract drivers, especially long distance truckers. The betel nuts helps to keep this drivers awake on these long distances. However, the chemical in theses nuts are nasty and could cause gum diseases etc... It was rumoured that the girls which sells betel nuts (betel nut beauties) would dress in their scantly dress bikinis to attract the drivers. However, nowadays (after the governmental control), you can only see older, weary betel nut beauties... :)
