My sister is in Taiwan. I couldn't resist posting this excerpt:"Betel Nut is the seed of a tree called the Betel Palm. It is actually very popular in Asian countries. The nut contains a stimulant so when it is chewed the effect is describes as being similar to drinking about 6 cups of coffee. In Taiwan, the marketing of the Betel nut (called Bin Lung) is what makes it popular here.
Bin Lung Girls have stands that are usually located around entrance/exit ramps to the highways. The girls are often dressed in little more than bra & panties. So, that is one of the reasons for the popularity of the nut, especially with the fellas. So, at this rest area, you could actually buy Bin Lung dolls out of a machine! I couldn't believe it! Ya-wen said people actually collect them!!"
