Day 8 : Maokong, avoiding the marathon day

Avoiding Taipei downtown because of the marathon, we moved to the closest tea plantation in Taipei. The marathon is the reason why hotels were 3 times more expensive than usual. The marathon is the reason why our sights were set on Taipei, never mind that it did not work out in the end.

Day 9 : Nostalgia in Hsinchu

Truth be told, my early work assignments were in Kaoshiung. It was a lonely job, being an instructor to a class who needed me to speak in Mandarin. Hsinchu was different. In the height of the mixed signal device boom, my entire department was camped in Hsinchu for weeks. Kimberley Hotel became my constant base. The Hsinchu bee hoon at Chenghuang temple and the 8 treasure ice at the Big Roundabout 大圆环 became my nightly stomping ground.
