"All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier. Has any one supposed it lucky to be born? I hasten to inform him or her it is just as lucky to die, and I know it." -- Walt Whitman, 1855

Maybe Hualien has its own bike-sharing scheme, as did Tainan until it was integrated into YouBike a couple of years ago. Don't know -- haven't been to Hualien in years.
