Weirdness weather
Am in Beijing today and tomorrow, flying back through Typhoon Wipra perhaps on Wednesday.
Was a strange weather experience. Overcast this morning and hazy. Ok but then the weather took a turn for the nasty ugly. After lunch time, the weather turned darker and from the 19th floor, couldn’t see anything. By 3pm, it was like night time/midnight.
Air quality was noticeably stuffy. Autumn is supposedly the best time for Beijing. Temperature wise, it is very comfortable. It’s the other stuff that makes it difficult to handle.
Last night, supper with one of my colleagues. We went to grilled meat place Beijing style. Think of it like a Beijing style churrasco. I even tried grilled silkworms. Tasty actually, but the crunchy skin was a little difficult to take. It was like eating shrimp skin that was fried/grilled. A little tough and not a fun experience. Taste was good admittedly. Will try again I think.
On the road jack!
I’m back at it again. Transiting through Taoyuan, Taipei, Taiwan….. Just came back from a 2 day excursion to Korea, Jeju Island. What a fantastic little island that has great vacation to-dos. I went there for a team building with my new colleagues from Korea. Great Korea food that busted the gut, too much Jinro soju (F C should know this pretty well ;)) and lots of good learnings and discussions.
We did ATV and live round shooting. I scored a 75 out of 120 on the pistol (used a HK issue 9mm) but rocked on the rifle shooting with a 119 out of 120. First round missed the mark pretty wide. I’ve a future as a Marine sharpshooter if this tech thing doesn’t work out…. haha. I’m going to put them up on my office walls :). First time doing it and I gotta say, it was a rush. Almost like how I read about shooting. You’re supposed to gently squeeze the trigger, not yank it otherwise the recoil will make your shot go all over the place. You breath slowly and squeeze the trigger and bam bam bam, pretty much hits the place you’re aiming at. Way cool!
