It's been a busy week (not to mention outrageously hot.... 95 degrees and at least 50% humidity) with the newest guest to Taiwan! Sarah loves it so far! She's even worked out 2 times at the California Fitness near our house and loves it! I'm still using my foot recovery as an excuse but we're going tomorrow morning.
Today I finally made it to one of the Suppliers in Hsinchu (about 75 minutes by car). I was where Drew ate his Thanksgiving Dinner last year;) Meetings went well, had spicy beef and rice for lunch, enjoyed the air conditioning.....
I've posted some pictures of Sarah and my first couple of days in Taipei. Her jetlag is minor at this point, she's learned how to say "hello" (Ni-Hao) and "thanks" (shie-shie) already!
Plans for this weekend include visiting some of the nice memorials in town. Possibly some kTV (Karaoke) with a large group from work....
For Olympic preparations.... Taiwan is actually competing as "Chinese Taipei" (don't ask if you don't understand). Here is an explanation of the events we (yes, I said "we" since I'm part Taiwanese now) will be competing in. Main one will be baseball!! Interesting to see Tennis will be participated by Taiwan.
Going to Barbados anytime soon? Beware the world's smallest snake (smaller than a quarter) that looks uglier every time you look at it.
There is a String Bass recital (2 bass players) on Thursday of this week. Sarah and I have our tickets to attend! I will of course provide an analysis later this week! Not often do you get to attend a bass recital ANYWHERE, let alone in Taiwan. Sarah is VERY excited to attend her first bass recital with me.... or not so much. It is Valentine's Day in Taiwan on Thursday so this is how we are celebrating. I bought Sarah a new cell phone for her Valentine's Day present. No use for a shovel here!
