Horses for courses

Sunday was a quiet day for recuperation and bask in the glory of a Liverpool victory over Aston Villa.
Monday however arrived with an early start as we were off to Taichung (the 3rd city on the island) for a 2 day Cat D course. Great excitement as we were going on the train with quite a good group of Aussies - Peter, Rade and Steve the eccentric but hilarious facility controller. The train itself (pictured entering Taichung station) is very smooth and seems very quick as you dart over viaducts and through tunnels. Infact 300km of it's 345 km entirety is either on viaduct or in tunnel. Day 1 of the course went well and it was off to the hotel. We stayed in the aptly named Splendor hotel. I was slightly concerned when I was placed on the 26th floor knowing that Taiwan is one of the most earthquake friendly zones in the world (View from my room above) ! We all passed on the Tuesday
and it was back to the business hotel for yet another early start for what proved to be a dreadful Cat. B course. However I did get the opportunity to go into the magnificent Taipei 101 building (also pictured). Rain seems to be setting in but it is still 20 degrees. We finished a little early which allowed me to sort the new computer out so skype is available with me for all interested and also a little more basking as the mighty LFC cruise into the next round of the Champions league with a 3-0 drubbing of Bordeaux.
