Hotel

For the convention we are staying at the Hotel Midtown Richardson. It isn't one of Rotary-affiliated hotels. It is located in central Taipei, but there is a direct MRT train from a nearby station to and from the convention venues. 

Cooking Class

We spent Wednesday morning at a cooking class learning how to make soup dumplings. It proved to be good activity for a rainy day. It has rained constantly since our arrival. 

Taipei Main Station

We had lunch on Tuesday at one of restaurants surrounding the caverness hall of Taipei

Main Station, a transportation hub for the city.

Arrival in Taiwan

After flying from Indianapolis to Seattle, we caught a China Airlines flight from Seattle to Taipei. We touched down about 4:30 am on Tuesday, June 9. 

Here we go ...

Our trip started at noon on Sunday, June 7, when we left Charleston and drove to the Indianapolis airport.

Coming soon: Taipei Convention

It is time to fire up the convention blog for another trip -- this time to Taipei, Taiwan, in about five weeks. The reservations have all been made, and I've begun to tick items off of the long pre-trip checklist. We plan to arrive in Taipei a few days before the convention to do some sightseeing. After the convention is over, we plan to spend a few days in South Korea before returning home.
