porcelain. \u00a0We walked for an hour there. \u00a0Very good.\u00a0 Jeffrey bought Felicia a wooden tea tray. \u00a0I am not sure how to use it.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Tuesday Jan 19, 2010. \u00a0\u00a0Dinner. \u00a0Jeffrey, Charles, Ken and I<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We ate in hotel at one of the 8 restaurants.\u00a0 I had Taiwan Beer in big bottle, I ate salads; I was still full from lunch.<\/p><p>More hot water in a glass, I guess they drink hot water here instead of ice water.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Today, except for in my hotel, I think we saw 3 white or black people here out of many thousands. \u00a0It seems to be very safe, not many people speak English at all making it impossible to ask for directions or shop. \u00a0We have a card from the hotel with address and phone number in Taiwanese so we can give to a cab driver when we get lost.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>A girl came up to me with a camera and I though she wanted for me to take her picture. \u00a0No! \u00a0She wanted to take a picture of me and Ken standing by her family. \u00a0I was her first white guy!! \u00a0\u00a0They were from mainland China and they must have never seen anybody not Oriental. \u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>After we looked around the observation deck and going outside, we went to the bottom to a giant food court serving any type of Asian food. \u00a0We ended up at a sushi place where I had some eel, raw shrimp. cooked shrimp, salmon, squid and sea urchin. \u00a0Felicia and Kendra may not kiss me ever again.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We took a taxi back to work at 2 PM and then at 4 we were done and took a taxi to the Taiwan electronics center, about 10 block with thousands of vendors. \u00a0It was like a giant Fry\u2019s store but even I got tired of continuous laptops, software, video games, memories, etc.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Tonight, we went to a Mongolian Barbecue where we picked the meat and veggies and sauces and a cook would cook our dinners on a red hot grill. \u00a0Very good. \u00a0Karl said that 99% of Rockwell Collins guys love to eat there. \u00a0\u00a0While there we each had 5 big Taiwan Beers but we took a taxi back so we were OK.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
