Dreaming of Taiwan

My journey to Taiwan started at the Nashville Airport, which took me on a flight half-way around the world with stops at Detroit and Tokyo before finally arriving in Taipei. We didn't get to the dorm until around 10:30 Sunday night.

So far I have liked all of the food I tried, the breakfast sandwiches, beef noodles, and lunch-box type meal we had yesterday (Thursday).  I also liked the bubble milk tea, and the vegetarian lemon drink I tried was really delicious.

I really liked going to Taipei, and thought that the company visit was pretty cool.  Learning how the transit system in Taipei works was cool, since I have always lived in smaller cities, I didn't really know much about the efforts that go into maintaining complex transportation systems and controlling traffic. I liked hearing about Asus and what they are doing, in terms of their innovation and also their attempts to be a green company.  I was really impressed by the facilities they provide to their employees.  Although the amount of time employees spend at the company is crazy!  In America, even if we work more than 40 hours a week, usually we take the extra work home to do, not do it at the company.
