I promised my friends at the Y a picture of our hotel. It has been wonderful so far, very simple and clean. We are on the 5th floor and below us is one of the busiest sections of Taipei, all the night eating places, are in this area. I don't think that will keep us awake tonight, we are dead tired. We did a little walk around this area with Sidney and it is amazing, true culture shock. Thousands of scooters, people, eating places. Oh yes, and I must tell you about the stinky tofu. They brew the stuff right across the road and if there was a way we could capture the scent and send it to you we would. We asked Sidney what it is really called and he said smelly tofu. It really does stink.
Tomorrow we head to the south of Taiwan on a bullet train (300 kph) with 7 other people attending the same conference. Sidney should have told us it was bring your own chopsticks, and forks aren't provided. We practiced tonight with beef noodle soup.
As I am writing this we are listening to a huge choir of youth from the US practice here in the hotel, it has been lovely.
