Taiwan Exhibit, Days 2 & 3

Day 2:
The Hippie Bourgeois and I were manning the booth by ourselves (sans Mum) so we didn't really have the chance to roam around as much as yesterday. Sold some wine, talked, ate, sold more wine...yadda yadda. HB also took the time to raid my iPod for songs she wanted as she just got an brand-new 8GB nano to fill...2-gig mousie so envy! Putting the Chieftains' Christmas album on mousiPod took up all the remaining space but 15MB -- weep.

Day 3:
Mom and I brought Di-ku along with us (he wanted to see the exhibit and, possibly, buy some shabu-shabu ingredients sold at the stall next door). They ended up wandering around in a shopping haze while I manned the fort. So, no pictures from this day either. I did manage to score a nice set of speakers (for the pc) from the Kingcom/Asus booth.

Personal observations:
1) Never put out a bonbon dish at these kinds of exhibits. There are incredibly rude people out there who grab a whole handful of candy to stuff into their pockets. Then they pass by a minute later and surreptitiously pocket more candy. I hope all their teeth rot.
2) Children are infinitely more polite than their elders. It's true! Kids will walk up to the candy and either outright ask if they can have some or wistfully eye the candy but say nothing. And when you do offer them candy, they take 1-3 pieces and say "Thank you". I have to emphasize this because not one single adult thanked us for the free candy.
