Melodious garbage

The garbage trucks here play classical music like ice cream trucks in America. I told Emily Jefferies, "Wow the ice cream truck comes by a lot!" That was when she informed me not to go running after it. It's the trash car. The Taiwanese are huge on recycling. At the English Village camp we "foreigners" had a trash class- where to throw what. It is not so simple as just throw something away. There are bins for plastic, paper, cans, bottles, leftovers, general garbage and juice boxes. For our benefit as well they added an unknown category (when in doubt put it in unknown garbage). We had signs and instructions on how to throw everything away. Makes me think twice when I use, unwrap or open anything I might have to throw away. Also, trash cans are rare. You can never find one when you need it. So be grateful when all you have to do is toss your trash in a garbage can. And if you come to Taiwan and hear the pretty music... don't go looking for ice cream. :)
