Checked in at KLIA but I was suprised to be told at the counter that my flight was not direct from KLIA to Taipei. Need to go through Kota Kinabalu and take another flight to Taipei.
Finally, landed at Taipei Airport close to midnight. Took a limousine to the hotel again I was suprised that I was given a premium limo although paid for budget one. What a nice ride with S Class Merc to the hotel. It was a smooth traffic as well but I was temporarily scared just now when the driver suddenly turned into some kind of junk yard area and but actually to fill up the fuel. The driver did not reply when I asked why he did not fill up the fuel at normal fuel station.
This is my first ever trip to Taiwan and I am looking forward for the event and short sight seeing
around this area.
My task here is as one of the participants for the Meeting and Workshop on Reducing Barriers to Trade Through Development of A common Protocol for measuring the Seasonal Energy Efficiency of Air Conditioners. I'm representing Malaysia in the APEC of group experts to share Malaysian experiences in the workshop with my involvement in the recent establishment of energy efficiency performance criteria and rating system for Malaysian manufacturers and importers.
The venue is at The Howard Plaza Hotel at Jen-Ai Road, Taipei. Not sure where is this place exactly in the city but will find out later.
The workshop will start tomorrow (5 Oct) and will end a day later (6 Oct). I will leave on 7 Oct and hoping to spend some time to look around in the city after the end of the workshop by 12.00 p.m on 6 Oct.
Heard about the news this morning that Taiwan is preparing for typhoon Parma but there wasn't any warning issued by any government for travelers. The limo driver told me that they are expecting the typhoon around 8.00 tomorrow and I am just praying that the situation here will be under control.
Sent an e-mail to my family at home and hoping they will be happy to know that I am safe and alright over here.
The service and the rooms at this hotel has been great so far.
Materials for tomorrow's event has been prepared on the table in the room. Just need to browse through after this.
Now I just need a good rest and sleep in this nice room....good nite!
