Flip-Flopped on Time

So I am totally still on Asia time. I was up at 3 am this morning and currently getting to work around 4:45 am. This also happened yesterday. Pays 4 Busch is not happy about this new schedule...for I get bored and wake him and the cats up. He-He...

I started my Old Chicago's Oktoberfest mini-tour yeasterday evening... 3 beers down only 7 to go.

1) St. Pauli Girl - Germany;

2) Paulaner Hefe-Weizen - Germany; A textbook German hefe- cloudy, clovy, yeasty

3) Warsteiner Premium Dunkel - Germany; Dunkel means dark in German; though a dark beer, dunkels are lagers, not ales; great roasty flavors and creamy texture

Surviving the Earthquakes & Typhoons

So I am here in Taipei. No earthquakes or typhoons...just a light sprinkle of rain.

The wastewater seminar went well...an unusual amount of interest in LDO...that's dissolved oxygen.

So tomorrow I have a full day of checking out the city. Museums, Taipei 101, beef Noodle soup, the jade and flower market, and some sort of Night street market. I am so on the look out for a fake burberry bag...not about to pay $700 for a purse. Might try to find Pays 4 B. a fo-lex...only the best for him.

So the chinese festival of the full moon in on Tuesday...so Robert (the distributor here in Teipei) gave me a box of moon cakes...I will see if I can get them through customs and bring them home for everyone to try.

Typhoon Wipha

Let first start off by saying that it is VERY HUMID here in Bintan Lagoon, Indonesia.

So Typhoon Wipha is pounding Taipei and China at the moment...it will be interesting to see if I make it to Taipei tomorrow.

Yesterday afternoon we did a "team building" activity here. Paintball was one of the activities...not sure how shooting other teams with guns is team building, but we did have fun. It's nice to see people that I visited earlier this year...my friends from the Philippines and Vietnam.

Earthquake City...

So here I am sitting in Tokyo on my way to Indonesia...yes the same country where there are still having 8.0 and above earthquakes. Should be interesting the next week.

I will be in Bintan for the remainder of the week...at least until I head to Taipei for some wastewater seminars. Gotta love a job were you teach people to play in krap all day!!!

We will try not to bring anything rash-like home from Asia...unlike Mexico!!!

Have I mentioned how humid it is here...

At least I have been upgraded to business class the entire trip so far...for free!!!

More South Africa Pics...

This is a picture of the male lion at the giraffe kill we found inside Kruger. Beautiful animal.

Here are some more pictures from South Africa...here.

Here is proof that I do actually work on these business trips...it's not all fun and games.

Bringing Home Itchy from Mexico

So all back from Inter-Americas Hash in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Survived the Hurricane...slid on out to sea and missed us. Waiting to check out U-tube to see how many videos will be posted of this little event.

I did however bring back some great poison plant like rash...Offically on steroids to help clear me all up before heading back to SE Asia next week.

CO also officially won the bid to host the IAH 2009 in Winter Park, CO...dear god help the state. Winter Park will never be the same. Be sure to get signed up Early for the cheap Rego.

Softball last night was good...won 21-10. Haven't posted much on softball lately...haven't been to a whole lot of games due to traveling with work.
