Taipei here I come...again
Honestly, Taipei or Taiwan was never high on my list of MUST visit places. But as they always say NEVER SAY NEVER. An ex was living in Taipei once upon a time and so I actually visited Taiwan a couple of times. On a Harley inspired Taiwan made motorbike, we cruised the isle down the East Coast, Taichung, Tainan, Hualian, Kaoshiung, Kenting, Taroko Gorge etc etc. I have to concede that the country does have its charms. Although I have always stressed that it’s the cities away, way way away from Taipei that are worth a visit....my recent trip proved me wrong. Quaint, European style scenery is but an hour away….

Almost a Quarter...
Time flies indeed. I am into the fourth month of my posting. Nine more months to go. Nope, I am not counting down. I just want to have a better grasp of my life. I do not wish for it to slip away without me realising it. That would be too easy.
The last three months been incredibly eventful. No one day is similar than the other.
Honestly though, I have hardly explored Beijing. In fact, I can count the number of weekends I have spent in the city of the century. Five? Whilst the last few months didn’t just flew past moi, I was kept busy with lots of traveling. Let me see, I was in Dubai, Shenyang (thrice), Taipei, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Shanghai. Not to mention good old Singapore and if I were to count transit cities, well, I was in Hong Kong too.
July 18 was the magical date, the day I embarked on the 365 days worth of journey. Even before I could settle in, I was back in Singapore on my way to Dubai! Despite the incredibly hot weather (think OVEN HOT) and the “I will never ever live here” remarks aplenty full, I find Dubai a totally cool city. Its definitely THE city to be in for any self-respectful professional. Hmm…maybe not now but in the next five years? It’s the IT city definitely. What with the WORLD project, the PALM project, it’s definitely the city of the next century for moi. I had a cool time. Despite the heat. Why? Five days with my pals, Kersh, Alan, Gev, Mawar and many more. Need I say more?
