taipei

took off from terminal 3 on a afternoon flight and reached here around 5pm.. its nice to be back here again but this time using a passport. =) coming here this time for business trip again with my dad and not holiday, how i wish it was a holiday.One of dad's friend came to pick us up and head striaght to the hotel, The Landis, nice place and we've got a very gd discount through another friend whom have very gd contacts with the hotel.

This trip we're going to register a branch of our company here, Ariki Taiwan. been running around embassy and law firm back in sg to validate documents.

Glad we're expanding up further north, afterall I strongly feel that Taiwan would be a booming economy in time to come. With a positive outlook on its political climate. I think its economical potential would be unleashed and further capitalise. Hopefully we would be able to tap on this trend in future. Afterall, Taiwan is already a rather advance and developed place.

Checked in at the hotel and got ready for dinner. Gonna be meeting some people here for dinner which to me they are highly successful people. the weather is rather cold tonight though.

Quite surprise when the vehicles that came to fetch us was a Porsche Cayenne and BMW X5. Went on the porsche of course and headed down to 'bei tou' for dinner at this very nice place. Its fine dining and everything was quite nicely arranged. service here was different back in sg, the waitress was nice and explained everything very nicely etc. of course, i didn't know how much the bill was.. it would be better to not reveal whom i dined with as some of them have a certain level of status back home. It was nice having to know them and talking to them over dinner, was quite pressuring cus its fine dining! mus be careful with the 'tools'.

Seeing some of them really inspires me alot to strive and work hard, hearing their stories and experiences, it somehow keeps me thinking and thinking, hoping one day I could achieve something. didn't took much pictures. going for such dinner hard to take photos.....
