The Loos Are Always Greener…

What am I doing posting a picture of a toilet? Don’t worry, we’re not going all BathroomGage on you. As I mentioned in our news the other day, we’re in Taipei, Taiwan for Computex 2009, and have plans to deliver lots of content during the show. To help make our coverage just a little more robust, I decided to take things a step further by posting photos and information that has little to do with the show.

This will be done in an effort to give you guys as much of our Computex experience as possible, and the idea may very-well carry itself over to other such content for other trade shows in the future. So what’s a toilet have to do with any of all this? Well, that’s part of my hotel room, and though it has a hot tub, heated loo and an advanced shower, you’d be surprised to know just how much it costs each night. I’m going to make you check out the related thread to find out, however :-)

If you’ve never been to Asia, or a foreign country in general, coming here is an incredible experience. It’s easy at times to become a little frustrated by the overall lack of English floating around, but past that, Taiwan is an incredible place. Lots of friendly people, great food, and unique areas are to be found. Definitely a night/day shift between what we see in America.

While toilets are fun to talk about, that certainly isn’t our main focus. Come Tuesday, we’ll be getting right into our Computex coverage, so be sure to check back often!

Few people understand my obsession with this drink, but if you like coffee, there’s nothing better on a hot day (which is everyday in Taiwan, at least at this time of year). This particular version is “black” coffee, but it still has sugar. For those who prefer coffee with cream, there are versions of that as well. Either way, it’s delicious.
