Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Up earlyish, off to Taipei International Church, friendly atmosphere - met a nice American (Greg) and his charming Taiwanese wife - from the US not-embassy here. Good service, fine, balanced, challenging, helpful expository preaching - let down only sightly by an over-emphasis on greek word definitions; pleased, I heartily recommend it.
Set off by Taxi to Taipei 101, met up with Armani there - had a vertical elevator joy-ride, admired the panoramic view, a really clear day. Tried to discern movement in the large suspended ball stabiliser with no joy, wandered coral displays, then enjoyed ice-cream, and a brief crowding experience in some computer show.
Off by Metro - the plastic metro tokens, surprisingly conceal a wireless RFID thingit of insane coolness - to Danshui. Armani showed off the sleeping Buddah skyline - though his precise physionomy left something to be desired. Admired a temple of some sort, used (apparently) primarily for women to practise a divination of sorts. Drank the local iced tea.
Back to the Guanghua Market, it seems I missed most of the most interesting bits of it yesterday - under the ground, and in a new block. Found a T60 battery to replenish my increasingly poor capacity, and slow-to-charge model, neat. Taxi home.
More prep for training tomorrow, phoned the lovely wife, up excessively late trying to (and finally) installing debuginfo packages from kirk all over the place.
