Thursday was my last work day in Taipei. I had to go to the show for a few hours to show Fukuchi-san how to run the demo. Around 1pm, Tomo came and picked me up to go to a few customer meetings. The first meeting was kind of interesting, because we were brainstorming/designing a new consumer electronic device. The second meeting was boring as it was just introductions and business.
After the second meeting, the company took us out to dinner at a traditional Chinese restaurant. To get to our table, we had to walk along a wooden walkway above a koi pond. The meal was very tasty, the best meal I’ve had in Taipei. One dish that REALLY blew me away was half of a papaya filled with seafood (scallops, shrimp, etc) and topped with melted cheese… it tasted incredible! After dinner, they took us to the bus station and we bussed back to Taipei (the second meeting was in Hsinchu).
The next morning I got up early to grab some breakfast and then walked around for a while. Most places were still closed, so I went back to my hotel and packed up all my stuff. At 10:30am I checked out of my hotel and waited to get a cab to the airport. My cab driver was very friendly and we talked all the way there. I told him that I really enjoyed Taipei and that I wanted to come back. He told me all about the many places that I should visit when I return. I can't wait!
