Saturday, November 17, 2007 Back from Taipei since yesterday. It’s the best trip I’ve had, to say the least. Made great friends with the senior national epee fencers; people like Ann Melbye, Nick Fang, Wei wen, Samson, Dennis, Qinghui, Nan see and Magdalene, not forgetting the epee coaches Zhao and the Russian (i can never remember his name). The epee guys are giants. The first time we met them in Taipei they were towering above Esther, Sharm and I. Most of them are at least 1.8m but they’re really just BFGs. They brought us around and took really good care of us especially Nick, Ann, WW and Sam. Our hotel’s situated about a 5 mins walk away from ximending, which is supposedly like the Orchard Road of Taipei, so it was convenient for us to go for meals there or to yay shop. Oh speaking of convenience, there must be like a million 7-11 outlets in Taipei. Seriously. Esther bought 50 bowls of maggi mee from there; Sharm bought about 18. Yes Taipei’s maggi mee is that good so I bought 4. Only. Didn’t perform well for the individual competition, but fared marginally better for team event. It was good experience nevertheless. Not an excuse for us not winning okay. I wish I could add some pretty pictures from Taipei here, but unfortunately the pictures aren’t with me. Make do with these few.       Please forgive the silly hair. Will upload more pictures when I get my hands on them. Meanwhile, I'm missing Taipei so bad.
