Late night hotpot in Ximen...

I went to a hotpot last night...I been here before...it is nice...

Not far from my favorite burger bar...

Mainy soft drinks to drink...
Its often very clean here..but since I came late...they didnt refill that much,..
I went all in for fish and corn sticks and some mushrooms...
I increased 3-4 kg...
And alot of prawns...
And ice cream...not the russian one...but dutch and american brands...
And chocolate fontain...
And kimchi...it was good...
Some other tables took alot, but never finished their food :S

Wine, Brie, history and CV...

I spent some time making my CV "Shine"...its interesting how many formats there are, and different styles depending on where you come from...and as usual, the more people, the more opinions, ant the more "right or wrong"...
I been taking history classes about "västhavet" recently, meaning the ocean between Denmark, Norway and Sweden, it is interesting. Classes held in Norwegian and Danish and swedish, so efficient to cooperate between the nations to offer higher quality on the courses...

A birthday celebration

My friend had his birthday yesterday...
So we went to Beerworks, where they still have discount (30% off)...
And we won french fries, since a guy scored well on the dart game...
Omg, even the waiter was good...
My old french roommate was also attending...

Swedish Taiwnaese movie

I finally saw Miss Kicki.
Its about a swedish woman, who decides to surpres her internet date, by visiting him in Taiwan, but he was cheating her.
Instead she got a closer relation to her son...
I legally downloaded it...I assume, since nowadays when you buy recordable and rewriteable CDs and USB sticks home in sweden (and other parts of europe), you get charged a "file sharing fee". I assume that this law makes downloading music, movies and books totally legal.

Taipei hangout...

I was hanging out in taipei today...

Johnny had intersting hands...
We passed by Costco...super many people today...
We spent some time on this lazy sunday, watching movie...
And making some easy graphic illustrations...a little inspired by SIlvia Papas...
Then we went to buy some local food...they lady called me american, I called her "mainland chinese"...
It was nice food...

Thanks giving and Taipei hang out...

I found that they were selling the Taipei german beer "ble d´or" at Costco again...

I gouth 5 bottles (1500nt, kind of expensive)...but kind of good...
There are always many people at costco, being in the worlds moet dense country...can only be a success, and tai people like discounts etc...to they make alot of money by always offering discount...
I went to a friends friend for a Thanks giving event...waiting some hour, it was niec to sip my Yilan Kavalan whisky...
A maze of roads, it was hard to find...and every way was a one way street...
It was nice...many dishes...
And more people meant more food...
We continued to Ximen, where I met some more NCTU students...I got a late birthday gift...
And a "special" drink from th bartender at "Shibuya" at the block behind the "red house"...
Later we went to La Boca again (i have been there befoire, but I only stayed outside then)...
They had swedish vodka...it was also super crowded...I found a new burger bar, bu it was closed, I wil return there some other day...

A night in Ximen...

I went to my favorite burger bar...

It was cold but nice at Ximen...

We always get nice snax at cosbys...
And some other place recently opened nearby...so alot of people fit the area...
Nice...
And I went to the Bear bar after this..for a Yegou naicha...it use to be good...
There after I wanted to buy steak at correfour (open 24-7)...but the shelfs were empty...
24h...alos of people were that around 24-1...
I was outisde...still the staff asked me not to take pics "inside"...strange logic...

A visit to Hsinchu...

My main resaon was to watch a swedish movie...or two at the chalmers office...

Swedish comedy...not easy to understand for non-scandinavians...

And the translation was bad...many times...

But i knew many lines on these classic movies...

Jönssonliga and Cops...

And some mingle afterwards...
 
 And DJ-club meeting...
 
 It was this young ladys birthday...
 
 Later on a short visit was paid at the Red bar at downtown, where it was this young mans birthday too...
 
 Red bar...so populair, not sure why...many americans hang here...among other foreigners...many mosquitos in the air...
 
 One can buy needles near by...mostly for people who are drug addicts... 

And some other things...

Not sure what it is in each machine...but some old men that passed by in here had eyes that didnt look 100% well...

Here u recycle the needles again...

Omg...feels like a drug nest...

Returning to the DJ clb for more drinking and music playing...

Later I went to Johnnys home...he still collect all his coins...maybe I will change them for him some other time...

We ate breakfast at the pizzeria at food court 2 anf NCTU campus...

It was nice...

But Johnny wasnt happy with his pizza...

And he complained about the banana as well, which had some red things in it...

I passed by the chalmers office after my breakfast...(and also paid a visit to the library)...
 And there after I went to Costco...
 And to Harrys place...
For a drink...
 With honey...my old favourite...(a scottish drink)...
They were preparing food (indian)...but I had to leave...
To beerworks...
They had promotion this day...30% off...
Som old friends and DJ club members came along...
 We ended playing our own music...
Using smartphones and laptops...
 Later I went to 7-11 an north gate...and concluded that they upgraded their computer screens...
The day after I went all-in on hamburger and pasta...
I headed back to taipei and saw an add for Kavalan whisky...good that local brands get publicity...

A visit to Hsinchu

I paid a visit to Hsinchu today, celebrating 2 birthdays. A DJ-club member and a classmates.
It was fun.

I just wonder...

Sometimes I wonder.
Why dont taiwanese people wanna pee in the toilet? there is a big queue to the urinal, no on in the toilet, still people chose to wait...i will never understand. I also tell them that the toilet is availalbe, but they strictly wanna pee in the urinal...
Same with elevators...if there is only one elevator. If its going down when u want to go up, why dont wait in the elevator instead of outside...it might be full anyway when it passes by on the way up. I see no difference where im waiting, erducing the risk of not fitting inside, but they always scream that its going in the wrong direction when i enter, as if there is another elevator that is on the way up... :S

Looking for the post office

I went for a run today, looking for the post office...to bad that people gave me wrong directions today again...
But I found it eventually, when asking a girl who knew english here...

Spanish wine and food exhibition

I attended a spanish wine and food exhibition today...

It was mostly wine and olive oil products there...

40-50 stands were there, showing different kinds of products...
My friend was also there...
White and red wine...
And olive oil...
I got to try a Cabernet Sauvignon mix...
I wonder when sweden will offer a similar exhibition...to bad we dont have so much focus on exporting these kind of things...
Its Christmas feeling here for sure...or atleast decoration...(thats how far chirstmas comes here to asia, music and food is not adapted that much)...

Nice burgerbar

I visited a burerbar today...
Theme: Superman...(or super heroes)...
Many probably bought at a DC comic store...
I had my super man hood shirt...
They had a nice lungh offer...and free wifi...a nice place to work at...
Mandatory christmas decoration...
And pickle burger...
 
 

Wine and cheese...

After a day in the NCCU library...
And after a short jog...
And with all miseries in my life...I har wine and cheese in the end...quality glimpse in quantity context.

An evening at Enrique

I spent some time at Enriques place this evening...
A blur pic of Enrique as young. He reminds me of my double cousin Jakob...
We went for some noodles...or what they recommended...or "want to introduce"..."Jièshào"...
We also went for a walk...its near taipei 101...super nice...

A trip to Yilan

I went to Yilan yesterday...

Taking the bus...it was convenient...

I was dropped of at the same pace as I left from after my 53k marathon this summer

On road 9, going from Taipei to the south of taiwan, passing the east mountains...

And the hill, that I often take pics of, which I ran up on at the same marathon...

Wow, a chirstmas tree, in novmebrer...welcome to taiwan...

I brought my Whicky, that I never finished from last time I was here...

Yilan by night...if often seems like a very small village...
 
 A famous night market
 
 This was famous...
 
 I bought some fried salad...and also met 2 girls from france and germany, who was here 1 year as rotary exchange students...interesting...many restrictions...
 
 This place was also famous...
 
A nice temple in the city...
 
 Wow, Yilan produced beer...
They had 4 different kind...one with algea...as I drank in singapore... 
 
 I never heard of this brand before...
 
 I tried all the kinds, excet the algea one...
 
 One had pineapple flavour...tha dark one was suprisingly good...

They also had dance performance...

Faomus place...maybe...

And this to...

Omg...Alishan tea...

I went to a uesum the day after, near Wai ai, where I use to go and surf...and where the boats leave to Turtle island...

Omg...so many umbrellas...

_nice view of Yilan, with turtle island in the background (taiwans only active vulcano...)...

And mountains...xueshan...for instance...

Andanintersint projection of rht world...not using mercator...

Omg...so many lakes in Yilan...I love taiwanese lakes...

How to spell "Qing" dynasty? "Cing"!?!
Or "Qing" dynasty?
 
 or "Cing"...
 
 Or "Qing"...
 
 Or "Cing"...even in the same paragraph they used different spelling...confusing...
 
 "Gaga" so intersting...
 
 Omg so many island I wanna visit...
 
 An old map of Taiwan, made by dutch people...
 
 Wow...5000 years ago...people settled in Yilan...
 
 Aboriginal tattoos, reminds me of the tattoos in New Zeeland...
 
 And the move Seediq Bale...

And at the Souvenir ship, one could by the Eiffel tower...

And miniatures of the museum...

On the way out, I saw some lockers for umbrellas...some one could bend lose anyway...but it was a interesting solution...

A resturant was the next stop...

They had alof of pics of fishes...

It was still raining in this "they rainy city" of taiwan...

So weird...in taiwan, they serve chicken with the head on the plate...

More rain...

Here is a map of a water fall in Yilan...

One had to walk a path up hill...

It was kind of touristic...

But also nice...

Aobut 20-30 meters high...

Up towards the jungle...
In the winter, it get snowy here...(or in the near by area)...
I bought a bottle of the local beer...a dark beer...
Later I went to the german restaurant at taipei main station (that is 100% taiwanese, btw)...
And alot of side ddishes were ordered...
Spicy sauce...one of the guys going there did an "italian", he took the reciept for company purpose, while everyone paid for themselvess (more or less)...omg south europeans...
After this a trip was made to a spanish bar in the city...
The door was locked...but it was full party in side...
Many ppl at the bar...
And in the basement they had a band that played and people danced...
I tried this german beer "Faust"...it was fruity and good...
Many foreigners  there...I will come back here some day to try their spanish food...

A new "all u can eat & drink" restaurant in taipei...

I went to a restaurant famous for prawns...
Near Gongguan in Taipei...
They had free San miguel...that is not that bad, its very soft...
 And a big drink list, I can also compose my own drinks (but no baileys)...

And seafood...

They BarBQ or boil the food for you...

And salad with dressing...

I had a Mojito...

And alot of sushi...
And spicy barBQed prawns...and crabs...(taiwanese crabs, not that much meat inside as home)...
And mashed potatos...
And more fish...
These were fried in some sepcial way...
And russian ice cream...
I love this kind of icecream...they also had Mövenpick...

An evening in Taipei...

I spend some time exersicing almost everyday...like i use to, the last 10 years...
Its nice to run alon the rivers in taipei...
I later tried to do lemonade sauce, but did my own compisition...for some fish...
I also eat fish every day...and fruit...its a temporary diet...(italia-japanese diet, since they live so long...), here served with mashed potatos and mayonaise...

"You are not american..."

"you are not american"...omg så flattering...the lady in the tent asked if i was from england, and then france...I asked "why not american" as all the other taiwanese ppl think about foreigners...(in general)....she said "no"...
I wonder why...but it was flattering...maybe that was what she knew...just a trick to sell things...
I found cheap wines in the store...some i havnt tried yet...(i think)...they had many for 180-250nt (45-50 SEK)

A pizzeria visit in taipei...

I found a new pizzeria in taipei yesterday...

And a stor, a little bit mal placé for beeing in a tropical/subtropical country...
The name sounded italian...
But the pizzas were all taiwanese...corn on the hawaii and so on...
But a professiional oven...
I was aobut ot order extre cheese on my pizza, but didnt need to...since there was a lot of cheese on it...not that much tomato sauce though...and it was 15 inches...thats big in taiwanese standards...

Snow in taipei

I was randomly walking on a street...
A big pile of snow on the street...
 

I will brew some beer tonight...

Here is a synopsis of the brewing process:

  1. Malted barley is soaked in hot water to release the malt sugars.
  2. The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning.
  3. The solution is cooled and yeast is added to begin fermentation.
  4. The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol.
  5. When the main fermentation is complete, the beer is bottled with a little bit of added sugar to provide the carbonation.

A visit in pingxi and shifen...

I tried to visit a waterfall yesterday...
Going up the mountains...very interesting...

The villages here remings me of places in the alps...

Due to the bridges and monuments...
But not the palm trees...
There are many trails here...
And statues, illustrating, i dont know what...
And flying lanterns high up in the sky...

Shifen waterfalls...a friend of mine went here some month ago...I wanted to see it by myself...

One had to walk a bit to go there...it was raining so it was slippery...

Omg...far away, behind the trees I could see the falls...not much to see (from the path)...
More interesting was a house up on a hill...
I wonder why people even went here...
A bridge was closed so ppl could not walk th the falls...

Even if it was signs...

Another bridge went no where...an old lady said that another path was open daytime...before 16...

Next pontaneous stop was at a near by village...where all these lights came from...

Some kind of event...gathering many people on a train track...
People wrote messages on lanterns...
The lanterns had different colours...representing differnt wishes...
And many other touristic lantern things...
It looks nice...I remember when I was 12 and ppl in school did a physical experiment...making one...

People were posing before releasing their lantern...

And once in a while the train came...so people had to move...

Many young people wished for good results at school...

Some foreigner wrote on this one...

Here was a map over the colours meaning...and prices of the lanterns...

And here is a pic of the waterfall that I never came to...

Train gain...

I bought a lantern, I will take it home...I heard that its illegal to use the lantern in the cities...but im not sure what defines a city...I paid with my 1 dollar coins again...making my purse lighter...

And ate some local food...
Clever...the plates were covered with transperent plastic bags...so no dishes were necessary...
Once again I paid with 1 dollar coins...it unfortunately crated confusing among the staff...
Firework...
Recounting the money...
A new train coming...
And more lanterns...
Far up in the sky...a lantern...
More were sent away...even if it was raining...
More messages were written...
Omg "Mats temple" (Mats is a swedish name)...maybe a swede came here some hundred years ago and influenced the people,,,naming the temple...

Xinpu marathon...and a day in hsinchu...

up in early morning...
After some hours running (it was raining in the beginning...but later on just cloudy) i was done...

I went to this restaurant in Hsinchu downtown...

I wanted to have extra cheese on my burger...but after 5-10 minutes frustration about what "extra cheese" really means among the staff...I gave up...
After 30 minutes...my friend finised a chew on his burger...
My burger was gone...we are two extremes on each side of speed eating, im fast and he is slow...
After 80 minutes...the last struggle  ...
I also exchanged 270nt, from my friend, to single 1 dollar coins...I didnt mind using them...
It took a while to count when I bought a beer and some nuts...(100nt=23SEK)...

A trip to Hsinchu...

I made a trip to hsnichu yesterday...
Borrowed some books at the library...
No mouses, they make noise...the elevators also make sounds... :S

Wow...I have a marathon to run tomorrow...4.30 I have to be there...I wonder why...

I went by scooter to downtown...

With Emilio, a taiwanese friend, among others...

To this african place...
They had menu in both chinese and english...but alot of information was not included on the english version...
I got some taiwanese soup...
And a super nice gratain...
And a juice...
Later on we went to the DJ club...and I bought some carbs, for tomorrows event...
I also tried to join up an indian activity...spending 30 mins try to find it, but without result...this is the NTHU lake...

An after work with the Swedish chamber of commerce...

I went to a german resturant in Tianmu last night...
I have been here once before...the owner if from germany...

Some chalmers students, and dutch exchange students were there...and ofcourse the head of the chamber...

I ordered a beer and a lasange..it was ok, but rather expensive...about 750nt...
More people showed  as time went by...
Omg...Johan Törnqvist...we started chalmers togetter, I havnt seen him for 8 years or something...amazing...
LAter we headed to ximen...
I drank a coulpe of milk tea to many....super high on caffein...

A flying lantern...

I saw a flying lanterna yesterday...
It was cool...I wanna build one of these myself...
I also caught a radio controlled airplane on thus fuzzy pic...
It was cool...

Broken shoes...

Omg...
My shoes seems to be a little broken in the back...not good for my heals or sox...

Another library visit...

I found a rare book at NCCU (a famous university in taipei) today...
Im not a student there...so it seems like i need to read the book inside the library...
First i only found this old version...
But later on this newer edition...the other two libraries that has this book in taiwan are in Changhua and Pingtung...far away...I might come back here later to re-read it...

Late night activities...

I stayed up until 5.30 am last night...
Enjoying some american ale...
And having a meeting with swedish people...(21 there...4 here...)
 

A visit to the national library...

I headed to taipeis main library yesterday...

Passing a random park, where hundreds of people were dancing some disco dance...
And a nice park (70 sqm or something)...in the middle of nowhere...
And SkS memorial hall...so big...
And the maosoleum in the middle is also super big...
The library was right at the memeorial hall...
Wow...they had appliction cards in english (for library card)...
And as usual..."no flipflops" in the library...but u may walk barefoot...
A famous dining place was also passed by...with taiwanese food...

Omg Nelson (Mr yellow)

I met Nelson yestrday on the street (his family name is huan, (meaning yellow)...he invited me home to him...I wish i had time to join him...
"oh my god, intercourse" is a quote me and my classmates use to say, imitating him...he said "omg" today as well...
He will start his military service next week...I joined him to the bank...we will do something later on...he said he is lonely, since all his friends are working...

Night market visit

I made a vist to the night market last night...
And there are many in taipei...
I think this one opens around 17-18...
Me and some classmates went to teppanyaki...
And then to a bakery...it was fun...

Inspecting road 26 and paying a visit in Nantou...

I always wanted to see road 26, since I heard that it is not connected all the way (taiwan has 4-5 roads that goes aroudn the island, no2 in the north, 11 (or 9) at the east coast, no 1 (amon amny others) on the  west coast and road 26 in the south (along the coast line)...
This is some kind ot antenna...
At the very south of taiwan...
Nice fields...feels like a riviera...with the ocean to my left...
And I could see the ocean...to my right...
A cool bridge...
Here the road 26 suddenly became bad...
And I had to walk after a while...
This path is manybe made for scooters...
I saw many people fishing (it was 7 am on a sunday)...
and many land slides...

Far away, I could imagine road 26 continue...

A fisher man hiding among the cliffs...

A photographer...

a land crab...

Intereresting shaped rocks...

There were information in chinese among the geological events that occured here...

Andsome tourists that took pics of a cat...

Omg...this is the final house...the end of road 26 before it stops suddenlt...and contines elsewhere...

Far away I could see a houce...maybe 400-500 meters away...(or more)...I wonder why they never made a path here...they invest in so many other roads here...
Some map about the coast line...

And the tourists still taking pics...

 Far out there orchid island should be seen...maybe it was cloudy today...
 
 It was a very touristic place...people were opening their stands selling drinks...
 
 But so far no tourists...
 
 The next stop was Nantou...(the only district in taiwan without any ocean connected to it)...
 
 This is how houses looks lik in taiwan...like containers piles on each other...
 
 However, I could see traces of an old house construction hiden in the new one...
 
 Omg, my classmates mom...

And my classmates neighbours...

And her living room...

And praying room...

And wher she was young...so cute...

The kids playing on the strees...it was a very peaceful street...remiding me of the south of sweden...

We took the car to some restaurant...

 It was famous, since there were many people here...or something...
 
 I took what they recommended...some pork...
 
 And then of to a bridge that was new...
 
 Many other people also wanted to see that bridge...
 
 Many many other...tondof buses transporting tourists...
 
 There were also many tea plantages here...
 
 And more traffic...

And busses...

And pineapples...

And people queuing...

Here it the bridge that people wanted to see...

It was new...we didnt have entergy to line up for 2 hours...in the heat...

People were using umbrella, i burned myself hard enought yesterday at the competition...

The government was sponsoring the bridge...not sure for what purpose...maybe only touristic purpose...
They also had some informaion center...
And more tea bushes...
And the traffic never ended here...
We couldsee Nantoun on the way back to my classmate...
Nice city...
I like this ity..they have alot of plants everywhere...like in a swedish summertown...
And many rice fields...
It was sweet...I wish I could come back here soon...
 

Kenting half ironman

I did a half ironman today...as usual i never got really tired, since I know I wont be on frist place, my strategy is to take it easy...and just reach the finish in time...I got in on 6 hours something...after really cycling slow...

In the morning, people had to wait for almost one hour for the start...some pros were starting 15 mintes before us...

It was nice weather in the morning...

There were many regylations, but as usual here in asia, no one really cares...people were wearing wet suits covering their whole body...making the float easier...and as usual its chaotic in the water, tai ppl swiming in any direction, not sure what their tactic is, but they look up, the swim blindly towards that thing they are aiming for...even thout the often accidentally change theri direction...
The starting place...so far kind of calm...
The pros started 15 mins before us...
We were suppose to start in the water...a mass start...

Just wait for the start...(omg, after seeing some pics of me, i still am kind of fat (97 kg at the current date))...
Many people were watching...
And now we go...!
After the swim it was the cycling...my helmet was strange...i had to make a knot to make it stick on my head...
No drafting, was the rule (extra strict since it was american rules...however I saw super many who cheated...I now regret I followed the rule, since I would save alot of time draft for a while...)
People are always so serious about clothing...everyone were wearing special outfit...i wonder for what use...my olf surfer shorts from Wai ou (2008), and a normal polo was awesome...and also cheaper that some super ultra light swim suit...
The running is always east...since I have done a oucple of marathons and ultramarathons the recent years...I pass by many people on this part...and I always save alot of energy for the running...
Ayo...here in asia its very common that people are blocking the road by jogging...(maye they think that they run super fast)...I always have to run slalom between slow runners...
We use to drink beer for the purpose of recovery in sweden...they gave away free Asahi beer here (japanese brand)...it continas alot of carbs...and after 1 can , i was recovered...
Well at the finish, it was also chaotic, it was in the middle of nowhere, so people needed shuttle bs to get out of there...and there was alot of traffic, causeing some accidents with the participants...
 
And we also got a free buffet...
Nice...however i seldom feel like eating alot right after a competition...
I tood some fruits and juice...
Then waiting for the shuttle bus...
The bus staff were all wearing hawaii shirts...
People at the starting point, were efficiently cleaning up...
I went to Smokey joes later in the evening...
Omg, they had a drink called "ironman" ihad to try it...
It contined egg, pinabpe and organge juice...
I also had this thing...didnt taste that much...and less cheese than on the picutre in the menu...
And some mashed sweet potato...
They also played music kind of loud...but it was nice music...
The pizza wagon had a lot of customers...
And this bar is still open...I remember 4 years ago, when I went here...it was also here...
Not that many customers yet...this guy will work until 6-7am...he is a funny guy...

Heading south...

I headed south yesterday...gonna participate in a competition...

Far out there is the island i went to this summer, near kaohsiung...

Here is a small village near kenting, where the ironman ends at...

A BMW that some winner gets...or something...

Many foreigners...waitig for an information meeting in english...

Omg, more than half of the people participating were foreigners...

Wow...expensive tires...

They love USA here, som there was a guy with american accent informing about the event...and then there were many stupid questions...

I had to sign a contacts, saying that I wont sue ironman, if i get hurt or injured...omg, so american...

And I had to pick u pmy chip etc...

And there were some religious activites near the finish...

Later we had to place our bikes at the start...
There were over 1200 participants...some were in teams...it was hard to find my place...
Also the helmet had to be there...and some people had to inspcet is as well...
Shimano was there...helping people to fix their bikes...
Out there is the swimming area...almost 1km in a circle, that has to be passed twice...
It is the same place as I went earlier this summer for a 3km swimming race with my classmates...it was a fun time...that time...
Later I checked out the nightmarket at kenting...
MAny people as usual...
Passing by the Shimano crew again...borrowing some oil...for my old chain...
So...no everything is set...ready for tomorrow...

A day at NCTU campus (a normal birthday...)

I had some things to do at NCTU guangfu campus today...

I started by eating lunch at the new food court 2...
Not totally finished yet...
Omg...the Dodo cafe that was so popular was very big not...unforunately, therewas still only one cashier...the only difference i could see was that each person working there, had more space...so they had to walk further between each other...thw queue was super long...I wonder why they didnt increase their serving speed...
I had a pizza instead at a new place...(a little my idea, since I use to bake alot of pizza at campus)...
This is the pizzeria...
They had no english menu...to bad for an "international minded university"...
I bought a set...it was good...
I met Kuoping "hooters" there...he was happy as usual...
I also passed by the chinese language center...to fix some things...and saw my text that i worte some 3-4 years ago...still remained...
I met 2 students at the GMBA lab...
OMG...some classmates on a brochure for exchange programs...
I wanted to pick up my old bike...but it was gone, and the janitors didnt know where they put it...I used johnny as a translator...
Chatrpol was waiting while we were negotiating...
This nice guy finally offered me a new bike instead...since no info was in english, and i have been gone 1 month, andy they just took my bike away...(its not my GIANT bike that was taken)...
I later on went back to taipei...OMG all the maffia blocks on guang fu road are gone...just what Prof. Trappey wished for, since the binglang etc doesnt make a good environment for students to walk around in...
I took my racing bike to a local GIANT store in taipei...
They adjusted my back wheel...and notisced that I need to change my chain...and thatmy bike is very dirty...I will wash it later...

Hsinchu halloween party...

I attended a halloween party last night in Hsinchu...
Johnny is preparing some things at the computer...
Then we took at cab with some DJ club members...later on...from school...
Alot of decoration...I specificly asked not to come to early...we arrived around 12 or 1...
Some body peices...
Many people, but not super many students...

A swedish movie night...

I attended a movie night at the Chalmers office at NCTU yesterday...

They saw the swedish movie Evil...
A dozen students attended...
And they had chips, candies and coke...
Some times the picture was bad...maybe I should take a look at the projector...
Alot of food...on the tables...
Some french students...
Afterwards we played some swedish music...
And ate more candies...
They made some changes in the office...They bought a new bigger fridge and a freezer...(nos swedish brand)...and a very big safe box (for maybe more than 25000NTD, I hope they will find it useful, in case they will cash out a large abount of money)...they even showed the current staff...its innovative...
After this I headed to the DJ club...where people were preparing the nights event...some halloween party...
They got some equipment there thats computer based...it was interesting...
We made a quick visit to McDonalds at campus, since I never been there before...
Marcus was painted as the Deamon in Kiss...it draw alot of attention to him...
