What am I doing now in Taipei?

Kickboxing! My friend Megan found a kickboxing class held at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial taught by a former Danish champion. I went for the first time today. It was pretty fun! We did a lot of calisthenic core stuff and now I'm nice and tired. I have to say, Hinar though, it was not quite as intense as Monkey Kung Fu. I'd have to show them some frog walks and crazy monkey and make them unable to climb stairs. But it's a good workout for now. the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial area is a nice place to practice kung fu at night. There are lots of other people practicing; maybe I'll go back some time to practice on my own. I'd fit right in.

As for the bats, it's back to sitting in the conference room with my growing pile of stuff annexing more and more of the conference table. I actually have stuff to do now - analyzing my data, figuring out how to map it, and trying to make myself officially employed so I can get some money. And taxes.

Anyways, this post would be no fun without a picture, so here's one:

This is one of the younger bats we caught in the mist net.  The young ones are so nice and tame; they're almost like pets.  This one's all wrapped up because he fell into a pond after getting tangled in the mist net.  He kept sneezing, poor guy.
