20090826_iceshopGoogle street view of Taiwan is now available. Too bad still limited to Taipei city. I believe I found my ex-roommate’s ice shop. I can tell him by his silhouette :) .

Would like to see Keelung google. Keep up the work!

Google Streetview Retake

img_0110

Streetview  has been controversy since its release in Japan.  There seemed to be strong protest against the service thus Google is now re-shooting the streetview in Tokyo.  However this time, camera height are lowered 40cm.

I believe streetview is a cool service but I don’t think it suits the culture here.  People don’t like their properties shot without permission even though it’s legally okay.  In any case, it’s always better to live above 2nd floor ain’t it!?
