One Day, Today, The Day
I know it is difficult to leave but I don't know it would be the same even for the second time.

CeBIT 2005 Taiwan Night
CeBIT 2005 Taiwan Night
Sorry that I have not yet figured out how to put 2 pictues into one post. So please bear with me on the series of posts on the related topics.
The most interesting thing to me during this CeBIT is the Taiwan Night. It is organized by the Taiwan computer associations and the main objective is for the Taiwan exhibitors to treat their overseas customers during the show. I was lucky to be invited by one of my suppliers though it is a bit tricky that I am actually a Taiwanese but qualified to be the "overseas customers". It was held at a very big restaurant called Munchen Hall with hundreds of long tables and 2 stages at each side of the restaurant. There are 2 big bands playing the local music and trying to get people down there to drink more beer with all the cheerings. This is actually my second time having the famous Germany Schweinehaxen. Put it simple. That is the hand or foot of pig. It was actually quite cool and delicious but when you have it twice in the same week it might become a big task. Anyway, everyone down there were just crazy at the end of the dinner and started to dance on the floor. Don't be suprised! I heard that happened every night over there. Ha. : )
What amazed me is the whole group of Taiwanese over there. Thousands of Taiwanese gathered at one place and even one particular resturant because they are working hard to promote Taiwan products and expand the market coverage. This made me start wondering what I'm doing in Sinagpore now and how I can contribute back to my country in terms of upgrading the economy and industry. That might sound too big for some of you but that indeed is my ultimate goal in my career.
The biggest problem or frustration I had in the past three and half a year working overseas is that people do not appreciated the hard work we, Taiwanese, put into our products. We have the excellent technology and production capability. We are also the leading country in terms of IT industry in the whole world but we got to stand up to show the world that "WE" are the one. The one who brought the improvement and convenience to human being on this earth. OK! OK! Seems it becomes a long talk now. Let me start another topic on what I want to do later.

CeBIT 2005 (March 9~16)
CeBIT 2005
This is actually my second time visiting CeBIT in Hannover, Germany, but this might be the coldest place that I have ever been to. To be frank, -6 is not as cold as what I thought. So guess I am stratching myself in terms of adapting to the different environment. CeBIT is one of the biggest trade show for IT related industry. For me, I mainly went there to look at Digital Equipments which are the hardwares that I'm working on in the company. In this field, most of the exhibitors are either from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong or Korea. It is like a big gathering for people from this region but the funny thing is the location, GERMANY. To me, I flew all the way from Asia to Europe to meet up with most of the suppliers from Asia as well. You might feel a bit wired but I guess that is the locations that most of the suppliers should show up together at one time. I would say it's actually worth visiting becuase you can still find out the trends in this industry and maybe some new products if you are lucky, but let's see how it would be in the following few years. BTW, this picture was taken on March 10th, the first day of the show, when I was walking from Wei's place to the train station. Here, I got to thank Wei's great help on the accommodation. That was my sweet and warm home in Hannover. : )
