I noticed these fruits outside Tainan station the other day. They're Starfruits. Since the tree is right outside the station entrance, I assume that it probably doesn't belong to anyone in particular. However, the spot it's located is just where all of the taxis wait for passengers leaving the station. The drivers seem to have noticed the fruits and have bagged them so as to protect them until they ripen. The bags they used are Betel Nut bags. Betel Nuts have a mild stimulant effect, so they're pretty popular amongst taxi drivers in Taiwan.
台南駅の入り口の近くにこのスターフルーツという果物を見かけた。この木は道沿いにあるので、たぶん私有物ではないと思う。この場所はちょうどタクシースタンドのところだから、運転手達は果物に気付いて檳榔のビニールを着けた様だ。檳榔は覚醒剤の効果があるので、タクシーの運転手みたいに一日中運転する人達の間にはかなり人気がある。
在台南車站後我看到了這棵楊桃樹。因為在路邊所以我覺得應該不是私有物。可是因為這裡剛好是計程車的車位，所以看起來司機們注意到了有楊桃，用檳榔袋來把楊桃包好了。原來檳榔帶不是垃圾！吃檳榔了之後還有用！
