Get-together/Eat-together 2007 Taipei

From Wikitravel Shared

As a critical nucleus of at least two Wikitravellers (Evan & I) are heading to Wikimania 2007 in en:Taipei, I propose a Wikitravel Eat-Together.

• Date: Thursday August 2nd; that is, the day before the conference starts
• Time: 7 PM
• Location: Meet at Exit 2 (south) of the MRT Jiantan station, about 800m north of CTOYAC. Please try to be on time, because finding us afterward will be difficult!
• Plan: Dinner at the cavernous, notionally air-conditioned food court outside the station (across the street from Exit 1), then explore the famous Shilin Night Market
• Contact person: User:Jpatokal at +65-91859331

The theme is eating weird and wonderful Taiwanese specialities (mm, stinky tofu) and beating the heat with cold beer.

• Ezekiel - somehow I overestimated my navigation skills, got there too late. sorry ;-)
• David Strauss (if I'm not occupied with Hacking Days)
• Ashley Rex & Waka
• Chriswaterguy - I'm a loiterer rather than a contributor on Wikitravel, but would love to come and try the stinky tofu!

[edit] Thanks to all

And a belated thanks to all who showed up, we had a good crowd of >10. I've finally put some pics up on my site:
