Getting There is Half the Fun

Whatever. The total travel time from when I left the house at 5:00am Thurday to when I got to the hotel at 9:30pm on Saturday was 27.5 hours, mostly on a plane (in business class thank God). The trip was pretty uneventful, no delays, etc. I only managed to sleep for about three hours, and I polished off two books on the way here, which is pretty impressive since it usually takes me a month to read one.

I am staying in the city of Hsin-Chu which is about an hour drive from the capitol of Taipei. There is some good background information about Taiwan here.
