Taipei


Hard to wake up and impossible to have stomach for a chinese breakfast. Stayed with european style. Met first CERN colleagues and went to the conference. Traffic to arrive there. Packet lunch was ok. Then was the few who took shuttle bus to hotel. Others, I believe, take taxi at CERN expenses. At hotel I discover they have swimming pool and also some library with free internet access. At night I met Florance, a taiwanese girl from hospitality club, we go for dinner in a night market, she makes me taste local food, very strange, and dessert as a cold soup. I give her collection of euro coins. On way to hotel the women seated at my side reads Angels and Deamons. I show her the CERN card. “Are you scientist?” “Yes.”
