Bloody Marvellous




AGs favourite saying - he is trying to teach the Taiwanese this expression (In a welsh accent of course)!!!
Saturday night was spent at a local party (our kamp receptionist Arder invited us- worrying !) discovering what happens and how big ones stomach needs to be out here (no problem for me, then !). Arder (the harder) laid on an 8 - 10 course meal (I lost count) and at least 24 cans of beer & 2 bottles of wine to show us some taiwanese hospitality. Worrying were the photographs in his bathroom !
It was very kind of him and AG and myself enjoyed the evening - they have a very bizarre habit of saying 'cheers' every 30 seconds. A quick mention also for 'Lulu help me' who insisted on playing drinking games with Arder. She is a tiny little thing but could really knock them back!
The pictures are of Taipei 101 which was visited on Sunday. I am pictured on the observation deck - 91st floor ! It is an incredible piece of engineering and is currently the tallest building in the world. It stands over 500m into the air and has the fastest elevator in the world transporting visitors to the 89th floor (It takes 36 seconds). If you find yourself in Taipei you MUST visit this skyscraper (It has a great food mall in the basement also). We have now survived the local trains - excellent mode of transport here - and look forward to the week ahead, which includes starting our rules and regs course.
