This trip is a gate crash.
What?
You hear me right. I came along without invitation.
Cut the long story short – some sales team over stepped into my territory, invited our subject matter expert and ignored my presence.
And so I came along to make my point – you want my clients to buy from you? Show some respect.
I was completely being ignored in the morning. Those bastards literally take me for idiot. Like no shaking of hands, not looking into my eyes, and no interest to exchange cards with me.
But by afternoon, it seems that they begin to get the idea.
I hope things will go on getting better.
Today, I think I’ve won a battle.

I finally visited the 2nd tallest building in the world (after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa).
Taipei 101.
This is taken at the 90th level – as high as you are allowed to go.

What else did I do?
I brought my colleague to a famous Southern Taiwanese noodle restaurant – 度小月 (Tu Hsiao Yueh) for Tan Tsai Noodle. And he was facinated by these 2 men by the entrance.

For those who read my earlier blog entries – yes, I’m back in Taipei again. For business this time.
Hmm…so where else would I visit in the next 4 days?
Well, watch this space for more updates then

I finally managed to sit down and organize my calendar.
And to my horror, I will be travelling back to back from this Sunday onwards.
This Sunday, I’ll make a 3 day trip to KL. After I come back from the trip, I’ll start travelling again next Sun to Taipei, then perhaps from Taipei straight to London for another 10days if I don’t come back to Singapore in the interim.
I’m not sure if I look forward to such an arrangement. I need to get some easy travelling work clothes. Best to be those crumple-free/press-free one-piece dresses.
Wonder where can I find some nice ones. Alternatively, buy when I get to the location, coupling up with some laundry efforts.
Will see how it goes. It’s been awhile since I live out of my suitcase. I’m getting comfy and need some fine-tuning again.
