Lately, I haven't had time to blog. But alas, here I am blogging twice in one day! Why? I'm in Taipei on a business trip. We've hired a video editor to help us make a video to introduce our product at the trade show I'll be attending in June in San Diego. Here's my day.

I got to the LongShan Temple MRT station at 10am and was picked up by the video designer on his scooter. We got to his studio/office, and spent about 1 hour going through the changes I wanted made to his last revision of the video. Thereafter, I tended to some work emails, watched some Ask A Ninja episodes, had lunch, blogged, and went to my uncle's place which was a mere 4 minute walk from this location (which was a total coincidence, because this small company is in the outskirts of Taipei). My uncle gave me some fruit as I left. 4 mangoes and a box of lychee. As I walked back to the studio, I saw an old woman -- crooked like a NY cop -- bent over eating directly out of someone's trash. Most old people with bad backs bend around 1/3 along the vertebrae from the head. This woman was a folding chair, bending just above the hip. It was kinda crazy... and kinda sad. So, after I walked passed her, I doubled back and gave her one of my mango (which I'm sure will be an excellent mango).

Now I'm back at the studio. Blogging again, and watching more Ninja episodes.

It's 34 degrees out. Cooler than yesterday's 37. Hot enough to give me a headache with this cold I'm still suffering from.

Still. It's been a fun day away from the office.

You always did have a kind heart Kev. I hope she enjoyed your mango.

Well, she did give me a welcomed smile... what with all 5 teeth that she had left.

The end of the day kinda went like this: worked until 7pm, played foosball until 10pm. Had a headache the whole day, and a fever with my cold to boot.

Went to see the doctor today and got some meds. Gotta be in tip-top shape for my trip to the States.
