Spotted: Decked out recycling van on the streets of Taipei

Recycling vans are not uncommon while walking on the streets of Taipei, but this particular van made me do a double-take. It reminded me of the garbage truck in Toy Story 3, with all the stuffed animals lashed in the front of the truck.

I wonder why people put cute cuddly stuffed animals on trucks and vans? Is it to attract attention from passerby’s (it was quite successful)? Or maybe the owner of the van wanted to give these toys a second chance at life.

Bet there is a great story behind the driver and his furry companions.
