To Scooter or not to Scooter

That is the question? Well in just a couple of hours I will be getting on my flight to Taiwan. I really don't know much about Taipei. I am only going to be there for 12 hours. I got a hotel that is close to the airport. I will eat, sleep, and head back to the airport. I have really loose plans in Vietnam other than Saturday I am taking and all day tour to the Mekong Delta. I want to rent a scooter and drive to the beach, but I am scared maybe I will just rent on. However, I am hoping there is something I don't know about and will end up doing that. I know there are lots of spas and I am sure I will find my way to one. So wish my luck and hope I have no problems with my visa on arrival that I got on the Internet.
