Here is this week's weather forecast: My lunch was decidedly not worth reporting, greasy cafeteria food; 10 seconds after I put my chopsticks down, we were back in the lab working.
For dinner, I ate in one of the hotel restaurants, Nakayama. The Hsinchu Dinner consisted of pickled cabbage and seafood as an amuse-bouche, seared tuna slices, sashimi on ice, fried stuffed tofu, tempura, some kind of grayish cubes (I thought it might be sesame set with agar, but the waitress could only communicate it was vegetable-based), rice with pickled vegetables, grilled mackerel, miso soup, and for dessert, red bean and barley sweet soup. All for $880TWD (under $30CAD) including the 10% service charge.
I've been able to escape working the weekend, but will be stuck in the hotel working anyway, as it's been raining a lot, and I have things to do before Monday. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it out to a local night market (and get a card reader so I can upload the pictures I've been describing), and maybe even squeeze in a short trip to Taipei.
