Lost…

A quick note on the present, then I'll continue with Taipei. I lost my wallet last night. I took it out to pay the fare, realized I had change in my pocket, put the wallet down and never picked it back up. About 5 minutes later I realized it wasn't in my pocket. That was just enough time to allow the taxi to disappear into the sea of cabs. I was too late to even do what they do in the movies…run down the middle of the street looking in every window until the cabs all pull away and you''re left standing in the middle of the empty street.

I cancelled the credit/ATM cards and ordered new ones, but it's still a hassle.
