Day 4 or 5? - I've lost track of the days...

How many more days til Christmas?

I've been having quite a few lazy days...I can name 2 of the deadly sins in mind - sloth and gluttony?!

Received an email from Taipei PwC today regarding my visit. It seems like some things have been lost in translation, and they have mis-interpreted my personal out-of-interest visitation as some Sydney VIP going to their office for some serious discussions. The email stated that the CFO would like to meet me too, and she is wondering what I'd like to talk about. In addition, I am to let them know the time in which I will arrive so they may book a meeting room.

Ohhh dear...

I had expected an office tour by some friendly staff and being introduced to different people...and nothing "business" related.

Anyways, so I panicked, and decided to call them up to explain my situation...
Long story short, she confirmed with me again whether a meeting room is needed for tomorrow. I actually laughed out loud on the phone, and then said "No, that won't be necesssary..."

Some pics from today...


I love this Starbucks mug I got in the US 3 years ago during Xmas.
I found this Harrods English Breakfast Tea in the pantry - it has expired for a year...and I drank it for breakfast....yummy. Ugh.


Had lunch at this modern-ish building which hosts training programs that I wanted to register for...classes like "How to drink wine and eat cheese" and "How to host perfect Xmas parties" and "How to walk in heels" and ohhh my favourite "How to be a French women (or smell like one)"...oh yes, I am serious. Crazyyy.

Dad washed his bowl today - and we gave him mineral water to swim in.


He needs a friend!

This is at Mitsui....it half a Japanese restaurant but it also sells bento boxes etc on the other half.

Jap wine selection


This is a 3kg snow crab...costs like $6000 NTD.
No thanks, I'd rather get a good wagyu steak.
