Taipei and site visit
Sunday, woke up in the afternoon with nothing much to do...
Decided to get ticket for my concert with sister when she visits.
The tickets can be bought at a bookshop in town.
Chit chat with friends online and hit town for a bookshop visit.
there's 2 bookshop, the one selling the tix was boring... go in and nothing much to browse and the stupid ticketing booth don't accept cards..
so head to the other bigger one. Its huge! with a big collection of Magazines, CDs, DVDs and books...
looked around for about 2 hrs and i'm still not satisfied! will be back to browse more!
Sunny sunday noon after a rain... the weather brightens me up!
I love cities like this and a quiet non crowded street makes it better! So happy!
After browsing, decided to walk to a nearby night market for dinner...
On the way there, saw 101 beautifully lit up with gayish colour. Must take picture!
A good reason to buy a SMART. Can park vertical in half a parrallel slot! Look at how much space it saves, not forgetting the fuel it saves!
Thursday, went to Ban Qiao city's high speed railway office to do some document research...
Damn! The office is so beautiful and spacious!
Check out the view from their meeting room! This place behind me is gonna be happening within the next 10 years! Super fast bullet train, Railway and MRT will meet at the same station here. how cool! If I'm rich, I'll get a house here! The value will skyrocket! But, my colleague told me, its too late... 15 years ago maybe... now that news is out for the major station, the land price is already ridiculous here!
The station that's gonna hold all 3 rails.
A beautiful sculpture hanging above the lobby area.
And to stress the importance of this soon to be happening place, the Taipei county government office is located just across the street.
Check out the beautiful office building of Taipei county government. 33 storeys high with a viewing deck on storey 32 which welcomes visitors.
Close up views of the enterance to the Taipei county office.
View of the Ban Qiao station from 32 floors above.
The scooters parked beside the station. Residents in this city ride their bike here every morning to take the railway to Taipei city to work. Madness number of scooter. Imagine if 1 is to catch fire!
Today, went for a site visit at Dan Shui wastewater treatment plant.
One of the 4 sedimentation tank in construction. This site is just beside the sea and the size of equipments here are humongous. Special technologies had to be used in construction and we'll be here often to monitor the building...
Soon to be Environmental Engineer Dave! I'm not from North Shore. That's a helmet loaned from our contractor.
Shitty hair after white helmet treatment. Check out the sunshine! I love the sun today. Its warm and comfortable to be outdoors today. about 25C with a slight breeze and comfortable sunshine...
He's one of the engineers from the contractor side. Looks familiar? I thought he look like Jackie Chan from certain angle. 明星脸!heh...
