china trip, taiwan beer & canada's fox
2 nights, 3 days
that's how many days i was in china
left taiwan wednesday morning
was home back in taiwan friday night around 5pm
it was just the usual biz trip
real quick, in-and-out, meetings here and there all day, then get the fuck out and on home
visited our factories in doumen, zhuhai and huangtian, shenzhen
nothing too exciting
i've been to the doumen factory countless times but it was my first time visiting the huangtian factory
it's always interesting to visit new locations and check out their operations
another interesting discovery during this trip is that a lot of home and building in china use solar power
i was told about it and for some reason, i had a hard time believing it
it was confirmed tho' as i could see solar power panels on top of buildings everywhere from my hotel room
very cool i might add
why don't we use this in taiwan?
our weather can't be any worse than china's
a couple pics i took from my hotel room on the 11th floor
solar power panels on top of buildings
on to saturday...
did some errands then went to walk around ximending
haven't been there in about 4 or 5 years
still a nice place to shop, dine and people watch
i don't know... am i just getting old or are the kids just getting weirder and weirder
i'd say both
had enough of that place and went over to the taiwan beer bar, which is actually located adjoining the taiwan beer brewery
if you like taiwan beer, this is the place to be
a cool hang out with outdoor seating area that only serves taiwan beer
i think this has to be the cheapest place (not counting convenient stores) to down a few in all of taipei city (downtown)
N$50 (about US$1.5) for a big mug of beer...
i think the mug is 600cc (about 600 ml)
not bad
not bad at all
to put it into perspective, a bottle of beer in a typical bar in taipei city is about NT$180 ~ 200 (about US$5.5 ~ 6.2)
a bottle of beer is around 350 ml
you do the math
unfortunately we couldn't stay too long because we had to get up at 5:30am the next morning
it's been a while since i woke up that early
at least this time it was well worth it because it was for the terry fox run
it was being held at the plaza across from the taipei city hall
we got there at around 6:30am, made our NT$300 donation, got the free shirt and did the 3km run
well, we walked the first half, then jogged the remaining
altho' i only had 3 hours sleep, i must say... i felt pretty damn good after that jog
it was either the giving to charity part or the early morning exercise, or both...
i don't know, but i felt a great sense of accomplishment
need to do some exercises in the morning more often that's for sure
however, after the event was over, i went home and slept most of the day
so much for all that exercise talk
some of the entertainment - belly dancers
the free shirt
the cert

non-stop feasting
allow me to take a deep breath for a moment
..........
i needed to do that quite a few times the past few days
why?
because i've been doing nothing but eat, eat and eat! (and drink too)
why?
because it was the big 30 for me
i can feel the effect from all that feasting too as i went to play basketball last night and i got fatigued faster than usual and just felt heavy
another sign?
my jeans felt tighter around the waist this morning
here's a peek of just some of the stuff i ate...
these pics here are only 2 of 6 face stuffing, belly aching and health killing feasts in a row (in 4 days span)
time to diet and exercise
i'm not getting any younger

the big 3 0
wow
it's finally here
i'm finally there
the big 3 0
holy shit, i'm 30 years old!
to be honest, i've been dreading this day for a while...
so here i am, standing on top of the hill and will start my descend soon enough
looking back, i'm sure everyone says and hears the same old cliche when they get older, but i can't help it... time flies
and it did
i've accomplished a lot but still lots to accomplish
somethings are going according to plan, somethings are not quite as planned
never stop planning the work
never stop working the plan
not happy nor upset about where my life stands at now, but if i died today... i'd die a content man
equilibrium
so, this one is for me-self
happy birthday ya old fart
