Taiwanese motorists baffled by sight of foreign men sunbathing on city street
Westerners strip down to their shorts and lay beach towels on the tarmac in apparent prank
Motorists in Taiwan got a surprise over the weekend when they spotted two men sunbathing on a city street, a local television station reported.
Photographs and video footage shared online showed the two Westerners, dressed only in shorts, arranging a towel on a hatched area of the road in Changhua and sitting down.
While the stunt appeared to be a prank, some social media users failed to see the funny side and issued sombre warnings to road users.
“People riding and driving on the road should be careful as foreigners are sunbathing there,” a person wrote as an accompanying note to images posted on Facebook.
Another commenter described the men’s behaviour as “very dangerous”, while a third suggested they had mistaken the road for a beach in Hawaii.
