The gift of gab

Corbett | November 13, 2004 3:14 AM

An interesting night. I probably spoke more English tonight than I have in 6 months. Mostly foreigners in the club tonight, and I had a really enjoyable evening chatting away with 3 interesting young women who haven't been here very long. I hadn't been so chatty in a long time, but tonight I realized I just had to say or add or just plain gab. I forgot that conversations with gals were more interesting than the ones with guys. Refreshing to also get a clean windshield wiper view of Taiwan through a newcomer's eyes.

Apart from that, I was just thinking about what are some of the worst places to be when a big earthquake strikes.

1) Under a concrete overpass, in a car, with your seatbelt on
2) At a KTV
3) Anywhere in Taipei 101
4) Mountain biking in Toroko gorge
5) Asleep in a hotel room next doors to a gay sex party at the Hyatt, when they evacuate the floor, not giving you enough time to grab your pants
6) In the middle of plastic eyelid surgery
7) Juggling flaming butcher knives on a unicycle
8) Near a glass tank of tarantulas at the pet store
9) Having a root canal
10) In an elevator with Liza Manelli
