12/09/2007: "ORIENTED ...... Taipei, 30 August 2007"

The function was near ZhongHsiao East Road, a trendy district a bit like Double Bay meets Paddington and ten times busier. Ocean Blue was the restaurant-bar selected by organizers of the monthly 7pm to 9pm members only meet.
Downstairs was a glass aquarium tank with eight young black tip whaler sharks swimming furiously.
(Mistake - I didn't have the usual camera)!
Oriented arrange these (last Thursday of every month) happy hours at venues around the Pacific. Asia, North America, Sydney. A different venue each month.
This was the first time I've attended a function in Taiwan. It's terrific for visitors. About 20% of patrons were westerners from North America living and working in Taiwan.
No Australians. A girl from New Zealand looked llike a local Taiwanese.
What a surprise to hear her accent. She works for a fashion magazine.
Anyone planning to be at Beijing, HongKong, Tokyo, Taipei, San Francisco etc on the last Thursday of any month might enjoy having this information.
