Day 1 (7/19) - Fritz's Group

8:00 - David was too excited last night to fall asleep! Catching on some sleep in the lobby...


8:20 - All suited up and ready to visit the OCAC Headquarter


8:32 - Taipei outside the bus


8:33 - Taipei outside the bus... Quite a contrast to the previous photo.


9:03 - The OCAC Headquarter! Quite an inconspicuous building for such an important department =P


9:12 - Waiting for an AWESOME OCAC presentation to begin, most are getting restless!

9:43 - 吉安 said an heartfelt speech after 吳委員長英育委員長’s welcome. Good that we chose 吉安 as our Leader. Go 吉安!


10:34 - Taiwan Storyland- Entrance to the time machine leading us back to the Taiwan in the 1960s.


12:40 - Kevin and stilts and paparazzi

(Will upload the video tomorrow)

13:13 - Lunch in the Taiwan Storyland. Tasting the past.


15:45 - Visited an ancient tea house.


16:30 - Visited the fabric market - nothing interesting


16:45 - Had some interestingly tasting tea, one of the three was very bitter.

16:35 - 月下老人 Temple


16:50 - Tasted and saw some Chinese traditional medicine

17:12 - Dinner at 圓環, Pork Stomach, Pork Intestine... Yeah why not?
   
19:00 - After a short MRT and bus ride, we started heading back for the hotel. However, Fritz lost his sense of direction and lead us in the wrong direction. After consulting with a shopkeeper, who wears an Ed Hardy top and works at a clothing shop, we eventually got back unscathed and sound.

19:30 - Blogging...

12:00 - Went to Family Mart to get food (Hungry again)

What I really like about this tour is that everyone is SUPA friendly. I found out that David happens to be practising the same piano piece as me and that not all Australians have that annoying accent. There's still a lot more for me to discover in the next 12 days. Looking forward to tomorrow.
