The past few entries concerning Taipei make it sound like I’m one of those gallivanting chefs on a travel show, stopping in some foreign city for a few pints and an exotic meal.
Truth is Brian gotta work for a living. Sunday rolls in and it’s time to prepare for a trade show.

When we last left our free range engineer, he was traveling in the urban landscape of Taipei … enjoying street side meals, local bars and late evenings with his co-worker’s friends. This brings us to Saturday morning, where Brian will rise to meet a sunny day in Taiwan and explore the wonders of the city.
But first, Brian has to stumble to the bathroom. That wonderful local seafood dinner didn’t agree with the hero of our story.

Here’s an easy way to tell when you’ve been doing too much video editing … I was genuinely impressed with the production value of the latest Delta Airline flight safety video.
Yes, seriously. It’s very good.

Yep, brought back a sore throat from Taiwan. Staying home today to spare my coworkers this import.
Despite missing some tourist opportunities over the weekend, I did manage to have an active social life in Taipei thanks to a co-worker with local knowledge.

Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if The Grateful Dead were a cover band playing in Taiwanese bars. I found out Sunday night in Taipei.

The hotel near our office has been upgraded since I last stayed here four years ago. The bathrooms are much nicer than before … which is good, since I’ve been in my room all day with an upset stomach.
Was it the nice local seafood meal that did me in? Jet lag? Staying up into the late hours drinking with office mates? Well, one or more of those cause Saturday to turn into a sick day. Since I don’t have the other nasty symptoms associated with a hangover, I’ll take the jet lag combined with eagerly stuffing my gullet with a great assortment of local seafood. The stomach is recovering, and I’ll try not to abuse it tonight.
Aside from the twisted tummy last night was fun. It’s good to hang with folks from the home office, folks from the local office and their local pals. We’ll see how social Saturday gets … just as soon as I hit the 7-11 for a light carbonated beverage.
