Rico in Taiwan: May 8th - May 18th

Rico · April 30, 2007, 07:49:13 AM

Well unless something changes, I will be heading to Taiwan for business Tuesday, May 8th and won't be back until May 18th. I'm trying to take a laptop of some type so I can at least check in, maybe post some photo's, etc. There will be a special "guest" podcast for the weekend of May 12-13! But something is in the works to maybe get you a bonus show before I leave town. I'll keep everyone updated here as to any changes in my plans. :flying

And to quote Doctor Leslie Nielsen from the movie Airplane

"I just want tell you good luck, we're all counting on you."

Hopefully you will be able to see Spiderman 3 before you have to leave on your trip. Looking forward to your pictures and your stories of the trip.

I am going Friday to see Spidey 3! That's a priority!! I'm not watching it in Chinese.

Thats good you are going before you leave. I know the two times I went to China, seeing Movies there was a real interesting experience. My wife took me to a English speaking theatre, but it had Chinese Subtitles. When I bought the tickets, they actually assigned you a seat, and someone guided you to the seat. I was surpised that the ticket prices were about the same as what I would have paid at home, considering everything else was so cheap there.

Where were you in China Jeff? I noticed on my last trip the Taiwanese don't seem to care for China much.

I was in Southern China, in the Guanxi province in a city called Nanning. It was about an Hours plane trip from Hong Kong. I think there was some sort of split between the two, and I think China wants control of Taiwan, so I think that maybe the reason for the dislike between the two.

A few changes to my plans. Leaving a couple of days later now. See first post here for the update.

I wonder how Rico's trip is going? It's only been two days, and seems funny not having him around on the board.

Hope all is going well with him.

How is everything going Kenny?

How is everyone else doing? Things going well for folks?

Just got to the hotel in the small town of Douliou (said like "Doo - leo"). Pretty tired, but trip went ok. Long couple of days gang.
