I was sad to find out that upcoming travel plans have us in Taipei during this year’s BarBot competition — the robot arm is getting awful close to becoming a bartender, plus that event just looks like a ton of fun! But, on the plus side, we’re going to Taipei!

I’ve been quite a few times for work-related travels, and have always enjoyed my time there, particularly time spent with my buddy Abe. It’s been over 18 months since I’ve done any travel to Asia, and truth be told, I was starting to miss it. So Dina & I bought tickets to spend a week in Taiwan at the end of February/beginning of March. I’m looking forward to plenty of friend time, lots of dumplings and beef noodle soup, and (hopefully) a shopping expedition to a Taiwanese woodworking store. And BarBot will happen another year.
