Second day in taipei. We spent most of our day at Danshuei. We bought dry food, took pix and listen to live band.
This Danshuei old street. Tones of stuff. Food & souvenirs.
We decided to take the boat to the fisherman wharf. Cost $50NT one way. Then we took a bus back to danshuei mtr.
That day..the day weather was cooling. Strong winds. Awesome feeling just sitting there sucking in sea breeze…
Then we stop-by on one of the restaurant. Have some finger food and listen to some live music.
This singer…he sounded like Andy Lau…he doesn’t sing cantonese…but mandarin and taiwanese.
We left Danshuei around 6pm and came to the hotel to clean up. Then 10pm, we went out to eat porridge at this place. When we are in Taipei, this is a must for me. Don’t know why I want to take porridge….

We flew into Taipei for a short vacation and breather. No particular agenda. Just bumming around and eat some of my wife and my favorite food.
At the airport, check out the sky. This is 5 minutes before we board. We experienced 2 or 3 turbulence. A little nervous, the airplane moving up&down.
I have always like the big banner type sign in Taipei.
Sogo…this is almost like a landmark. If you are in taipei, you probably pass-by here at one time or another.
7-11 latte. Cost $40 NT dollar. Its quite good. Need to have this in HK.
Hot babes…
First day, we did not do much…just walking around. Below are more slides for your enjoyment.

I went to the Punch Party 2. This time the location is at the Microsoft seminar rooms.
The place was packed. The theme was reminiscing about the old days. From apple newton, BBS, Palm and along the wrong about charity.
I was there around 6.45pm. No crowd, yet. The first time at the same time. They would not let me in.
Microsoft pantry area.
Took a pix at the logo. William (Microsoft) let me into their office area to take this shot.
This presentation by William (Microsoft) on the MSN 9.0 latest features.
The BBS talked. I missed this era because backed then I was busy with the hardware part of the industry. I did not know….Hong Kong has such dedicated people running BBS until…now. This is a WOW for me.
The PALM…I started out with the Palm V, Sony series SJ…to my last one Sony TJ-37. Now, on window mobile. Currently, tinkering around WinMobile 6.5 beta9.
Oxfam – somehow..somewhere there is a blogger who blog about Oxfam. Interesting.
Overall, interesting talked. From a foreigner point of view, it was not as humorous as the last one. But it good enough.
One last thing, Starbuck sponsored the food and drinks but can I make a small request. The sandwich came with Salmon & Cheese. I can’t take seafood. Can I request meat next time?

H1N1 is already here. The HK Government took a very heavy handed approach on this outbreak.
Quarantine the entire hotel (Metropark Hotel at Wan Chai) for seven days. Is this really necessary?
I was out on Saturday and saw this at the alley of Cheung Sha Wan. The sanitizing begins.
At this moment, I think the Government is a little overboard on this issue.
I could be wrong…that is why I am thinking aloud….
