It's like I am in HK. tonight, we invited 3 business counterpart to dinner, but have one of the invitee to choose the restaurant, the echo to the restaurant is in Bali -- a far place from Taipei, cause the restaurant is run by one of the guest, we were OK with the decision, what comes last is until yesterday evening, I didn't know they are planning to bring their spouse to the dinner, 3 CHT manager with their wife will join the dinner with us.. so we need to ask our wife favor to attend the dinner with us, this last minute notice cause me lot of problem, fortunately enough, Fruit went for summer camp this morning, my mother can accompany with Sound - my son at night, so, we bring our wife to the dinner.

Bali is in the opposite side of Tamsui, a river shore waiting for development, Friday night is the traffic night, it took us 90 minutes to get the Bali -- we were astonished by the scene before us, the restaurant titled " Left Bank " is a place you can enjoy the river scene and watch the neon light across the Tamsui river. as we are VIP to the restaurant owner, the seating arrangement is so perfect, we were sit in private area in the open space and facing the river, the set menu was special made for us, it's like staying in Regent Hotel HK and enjoy the Victoria harbor, but this is Taipei county. the night is beautiful, young people playing basket ball in the night range. kids riding on bicycle, young couple stroll by the long shore, yellow dim street light make the night more romantic, after meal , we climb up the watch tower and review the entire Taipei / Tamsui, none of us watch the time.

A nice place to bring family there, a nice place to walk when the sun go down, a nice place to relax, a place you hardly believe in Taipei. on the way home, heard the radio talk show hosted by Tom, a talent marketer who become famous as the novelist and marketing expertise, we just spoke over the phone yesterday, I return him something belongs to him and receiving a thanks you card sent by him. 10 years since we know each other. now he is heading for the road he dream about.
