Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Last part of my "suffering" last Sunday under Mr. Most Important Research's brand of know-it-all-ness for the better part of 14 hours.

From the cheap computer parts street, we got back to Taipei Main Station.

And we spent the better part of twenty or so minutes walking from one end of the underground labyrinth to another, just because we didn't know where everyone else wanted to go to next.

We found one basement entrance to one mall, and someone spoke up that it wasn't what they were looking for so he led the trek again to one wall map after another looking for another mall.

We ended up in another mall that was completely underground, passing by some interesting structures (such as a bell as large as a refrigerator inside a heart-shape loop of steel, but none of us took pictures, which reflected the mood of walking that long.

Finally Ms. Research got fed up, asked for a map and found the branch of a large computer mall she wanted. That's when the answering back started.

She was deploring the fact that no one brought out a map until that point, and that Mr. MIR was leading us around to no one's preference.

That's when she said she would go to the shop by herself, although Mr. MIR won't let her go. We accepted her suggestion to just split up and meet outside the station at a certain time.

Of course Mr. MIR won't let it go at that, and gave several landmarks to our rendezvous point, including the name of the shop far on the other side of the street, again like we were all idiots without him.

The two ladies from the Weather Bureau and I ended up at the night market, where we had a lot of purchases, and we all joked that they didn't shout at me for leading them there from the tourist map.

Mr. MIR and his group ended up buying stuff from the gift shop inside the station, whose prices, we saw, were around 5 times that in the night market.

Session 2405 was glad for that accepted time of being apart. Class dismissed.
