This is Dave Hartwell. He's on a 50cc scooter called a Sniper. The light is on, and the left-hand mirror is twisted. Behind him is the restaurant across from his Taipei apartment where you can get good peanut-sauce noodles.“One of my favorite local dishes is huo tway dan,” Hartwell says, breaking into fluent Mandarin. “Mmmm, hao chr!” he laughs.Dave's not worried that the Vancouver Canucks will be eliminated from the NHL Playoffs tonight, in Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks.
Then he translates: “Ham and egg sandwiches: good.”
Okay, he's a little worried.
(Hartwell's profile at Canucks.com: "Cheers from Far Away.")

When has he ever smoked a cigarette?
“like sculpture” hmm…
I was thinking more along the lines of asymmetrical courtyard installation sculpture, but, well...
I was afraid 'smoked a pipe' would sound too much like a coded drug reference.
