Idan Left In The morning before I woke up. Actually it was After I woke Up and went to bed again.<\/p>\n
Still jet-lagged. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn\u2019t sleep. I went to the convenient store and bought some food at 6am. This time I got back without any special troubles, I listened to the Hitch Hiker\u2019s Guide To The Galaxy Audio book I brought with me. I\u2019m reading\/Listening to \u201cSo Long and Thanks for the fish\u201d. I\u2019m almost half way through it by this time.
\nI even got to call Lee and we talked for a while so it was almost as if we went to bed together…<\/p>\n
I was constantly awaken by firecrackers, celebrating Chinese new year. I would hear them, bang outside my window, run to my window, to find out I can\u2019t actually see anything. Got depressed by that, and went to bed. This process happened at least 5 times during my sleeping attempt.<\/p>\n
I Woke up Nauseated. Went to the office and then met Sterling there when he arrived. I organized some of my stuff, and installed utilities on the computer there. We talked for a while, Later we went to dinner with Bob and Phoebe. Sterling\u2019s girl friend came along too. Since my stomach was a bit upset, so they took me to this place that has some special chicken soup. The soup was very thick, and even got crust when it cooled a bit. Probably because of some extra animal fat they add. There was all sort of nice dishes starting from fried rice, one of the kinds of sweet and sour chicken, shenchai, I think. There are many, many kinds of that thing, I had only tasted very few in Israel, Usually the one that looks like a Hanuka donut, with a piece of chicken inside. There was also something which is a mix between Iraqi Pita and Malawach. It was basically the same, but it was baked with green onions. Very nice.<\/p>\n
Having almost nothing to do by myself that morning, other then sit in front of the computer, I have decided I wanted to by a tourist book. Something like Lonely Planet Taiwan. For my surprise that was the only English book in the tourist book section of a big 24hrs Barnes and Nobels style store not far from Bob\u2019s house. In that same store which I spend about only 20 minutes in, I found some Futurama Comic book which isn\u2019t available at Comikaza, and some Asterix comics which are cheaper here. Not by much. I later realized I was dividing the prices from NT (Taiwan Dollars) to NIS (Israelli Dollard) by 9 when it\u2019s actually somewhere along 7.5 NT\u2019s per shekel. Obviously that caused me to believe stuff was cheaper. Prices here are actually pretty much the same as in Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
