My first trip to Taiwan on business.

Flew by EVA on Monday. Landed at 5pm but good thing the hotel is near the area which is Linkou. I present to you the Deluxe Room of Fullon Hotel Linkou

Host brought us out for dinner. Had dumplings at the Wu Hua Ma Dumpling shop. Free flow of porridge which I didn't take.

Ordered mushroom soup instead. Lots of ginger.

The poem from Li Bai which tells of the Wu Hua Ma. See the right of the poem. As usual, quote, remove the "l" at the end of the filename to see fullsize.

Chopstick cover that shows the name of the shop chain, Wu Hua Ma.

Breakfast in the hotel before the day's business activities.

A mistranslated breakfast item. I feel invincible to eat a virus and have no ill-effects.

Hotel restaurant decor is very nice.

After the business dealings for the next day in Taichung and Changhua, host brought me to Lugang to see the second oldest temple in Taiwan.

A lot of students crowding the place. The "bi yue lu xing" AKA graduation tours. They finish exams, go tour their country.

Didn't take the picture of the students. The uniform is exactly the same as the movie. Furthermore, he gave a explanation. In Changhua there are 3 high schools. 2 of them are same sex school. All boys and all girls. Only this school is mixed and it is the prestigious school in Changhua. This is before the movie.

Dinner for the night at Mr Tom's at Linkou (or was it Guishan?). I didn't order their beef steak but host cut a huge portion for me to try. It melts in your mouth. Recommended!

I ordered the salmon steak instead.

Next day's activities. Went out for some "free tea" at this place.

Marketing is rather well placed. You come in, they serve you a pineapple tart and tea. Either you like it or filled with guilt, you buy a box. I prefer Chiate actually. Temptation was there to buy theirs too.

Lunch! At Taipei Fish Market!

Only time with "personal" time is when the host bring me for lunch and dinner. The drive to Changhua and Taichung was long. Lots of presentations and meeting customers.
