  Day 14 - Getting Ready to come Home Well its currently Monday in Taiwan. The weekend was relaxing but damn its hot and humid here. Friday Kary came back down from Taipei and we had dinner at TGI Fridays. I don't think I will eat at this place again at night. We had to wait about 45 mins for a table then it was close to 40 mins before our drinks and food arrived. Went back to the hotel around 11.00pm and chilled out Saturday Spent the afternoon at Windance shopping mall and spent the coupons given by the hotel. I bought a new pair of sports shoes and bought a new pair for Kary. I also gave the remaining coupons to Kary and she bought a nice dress for our trip back to the UK.
Saturday evening was much the same as last week... ate dinner at the hotel and then went out for some beers at the Flying Pig. Hsin-Chu used to be a place with lots of cool bars and places to hang out but to be honest, it is now fairly lame and boring. I much prefer Taipei. The usual hang outs in Hsin-Chu are now just run of the mill and now the friends I have made over the years have moved on and no longer work in the bars.
Saturday night was interesting at the Flying Pig. There was a male strip show put on for the ladies so it was good opportunity for me to sneak a couple of extra beers while Kary watched the show. The "dude" was very lame. He was more like a dancer than a sripper and his routine was just funny at best.
The local ladies were trying to rip his shorts off but he put up a good fight. Very lame at best but I could not stop laughing as he looked like a former co-worker in the US (Vincent Kot). Sunday Had lunch at a local beef noddles shop and then took the train to TaoYuan to spend the afternoon. Spent about 1 hour at a cute little Chinese tea house close to the train station and the rest of the afternoon walking around TaoYuan. Caught the train back to Hsin-Chu and ate dinner at a small steak house followed by 1 hour relaxing at the hotel swimming pool / sauna.
