Off to Taiwan???
just got word that they are thinking of sending me to Taiwan next week...for a MONTH! Aug. 29-Sept. 23. Four weeks, three weekends.
Excuse me while I try my best to adapt to the culture shock.
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
That's better...
If they do, I should be put up in a corporate apartment with DSL, I'll bring my digital Canon, grab a Pimsleur 10-lesson introduction to Mandarin Chinese and give you all a tour of what the heck it's like to live in such a place for a month. Assuming the mainland Chinese don't invade while I'm there.
I'll be staying in Taiwan's Silicon Valley Hsinchu. Over an hour's drive from Taipei where all the action is. Apparently geeks don't have much need for sightseeing where they work.
Oh, and September is typhoon month in Taiwan. I'll report, you decide.
Luckily, the intern that has been working with me is from Taiwan, so she'll give me tips on what to do on weekends. At least one weekend I hope to pop over to Hong Kong for the first time and check it out. It's only a 90-minute flight.
