Last couple weeks were pretty cool. Went to a bar where I had to throw a rock into hole in order to open up the door. When you walk inside, it feels as if you've stepped into a different world. The hallways remind you of something from the future, it is very space like. When you walk to the reception you are a little confused about where you are, this isn't your normal bar this is something quite different. You sit down and order a beer. But the beer doesn't come with a standard issue beer glass. it comes with a test tube like glass that has a stand for your glass that is ice cold. This is one of those places where you have to go there to experience it. I went there with Jennifer and Graeme last week to celebrate the start of Chinese New Years before I went off to Thailand.
Last Saturday before I left, I was going to for a bike ride with Graeme on one of his bikes, he recently won a bike at the HESS annual party. (Sidenote: the party was a lot of fun, it was at the international trade expo in Taipei. It was a lot of fun, instead of watching the boring show, the teachers and I snuck out to a bar to watch cricket and drink until dinner time. At dinner, I tried jellyfish, not all that bad. During dinner, they give out prizes, I won $500NT. I had a lot of fun, but it is too bad that it is only once a year.) So anyways we were going to go for a bike ride. We go to find Grame's bike that he hasn't touched in over 7 months and its been hacked. Someone came in, cut the chain and all the cables. This person stole the cassette and the handlebars. We were very puzzled why anyone would come just to steal the cassette and the handlebars and not take the bike. Graeme said he wouldn't have been mad if they had stolen the bike, but raping it is something different.
Last week I was in Thailand, so I will write an entry with pictures soon. Until then, tchao!
