Arrived in Taipei yesterday around 3pm. Jet-lagged like crazy for the rest of the afternoon. Met Kent for a moment at the hotel before crashing for an hour. Went out to get a ‘step up’ transformer from a technology night-market a few train stations away. Got lucky straight away & found exactly what we needed. Voltage here is 110 (like the US) & some equipment (like guitar pedals & in-ear monitors with Aussie transformers) don’t work unless you get a converter. The night market was awesome, tech-heaven for computer geeks… Back to the hotel to rest. Tour manager Tom knocked on our door later in the evening.

Taipei skyline, yesterday.

Rehearsed for about 4 hours today. Sounding great. Took ages to get going. Maybe the Jet-lag or the heat. It’s like Darwin here. Humid & searing. Just got back from seeing the city from the observation deck at ‘Taipei 101’ which used to be the world’s tallest building. Now it’s a mere third, standing over 500 metres & 90 odd floors high.

 Rehearsal again tomorrow.

Fires out.
