Freeway

On our return after our first trip to Costco by our car....we lost our way by taking a quicker right turn and ended on a Free Way...Oh Boy....Both Sedj and me were really desparate and scared...as they were no road signs in the vicinity and we were continuing to drive.....further and further... and finally pulled over to the slow lane and stopped....so that we can read the map....

To our amazement.....there was a knock immediately at out window....by a police man...and we told him we need to get back to city....

Thank God for this angel....and the police man could actually communicate a little bit English....
he told us we have even gone further beyond the geography of Taipei which our map covered and we need to drive another 20 odd kms to see an exit to get back to a road which will take us to city....so what should have been a 5 km ride became over 60 kms for one wrong turn we attempted....

But we still thank God he could get us safely back and we didnt drive all the 300 km stretch of Taiwan ...and also we had a full fuel tank.....

Thats our first tryst with freeways in Taiwan....
