Our Worst Day... Became The BEST Day!
The Experience of Stepping Outside on a Cold Taipei Morning
As we stepped out of the air-conditioned space, we were greeted by an unexpected temperature drop to 40 degrees outside. It was as if we had just come out of a freezer, and it was quite a shock. I couldn't help but laugh at the realization that someone forgot to bring their business card. The sudden change in environment was quite disorienting, and it took us a moment to adjust.
The Strange Incident at 1:00 a.m.
At 1:00 a.m., we were in the middle of editing our work when all the lights suddenly went off. It was a bit creepy, and we were afraid for a brief moment. The darkness was short-lived, but it was enough to make us feel uneasy. We quickly got back to editing, trying to make sense of what had just happened.
Troubles with Our Laptop
We've been experiencing some issues with our laptop lately, specifically the blue screen of death and losing work in progress. To rectify this, we've been re-editing our work due to frequent crashes in the middle of a save. Fortunately, we received some help from Gigabyte, which has been instrumental in helping us get back on track. We brought home their notebook for the show, hoping it would be a reliable solution.
The Unexpected Discovery at HWC
Our plan was to check if the new laptop was password-protected before using it. However, when we plugged it in, we were surprised to find that it worked seamlessly. It was as if someone had magically figured out how to get it working despite our best efforts. We soon realized that we hadn't set a password for the laptop, and we definitely didn't have the necessary installation materials or a Taiwanese notebook with it. The whole experience left us feeling a bit bewildered.
Finding HWC on a Rainy Day
As we were about to leave for our meeting, we stumbled upon a coffee shop called HWC. Despite the rain and the fact that Hurricane Ike Roasters Mike joked that it was closed, we found it and discovered that it served delicious coffee. The iced latte at HWC was truly exceptional, giving us goosebumps. We were surprised by the sheer size of the raindrops, which made it look like a thick fog.
Our Last Full Day in Taipei
On our last full day in Taipei, we decided to make the most of the situation despite the gloomy weather. We had planned to visit the National Palace Museum, but when we arrived, we found ourselves in the middle of a massive cloud with big raindrops falling from it. It was as if we had just missed the rain, and we were relieved that our timing was good. The weather did make for a perfect opportunity for a leisurely walk in the park.
The Desk After a Full Week of Production
As I looked around at our workspace after a full week of production, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the experience. It had been a wild ride, and we had learned to adapt to unexpected challenges. We had come a long way since our initial struggles with the laptop, and it was clear that we had made significant progress. The desk was cluttered with notes and reminders, a testament to the hard work and dedication that had gone into completing the project.
A Message of Appreciation
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the experience of working on this project in Taipei. It has been an incredible journey, full of unexpected twists and turns. I am thankful for the opportunity to have worked with such a talented team and to have had the chance to learn from our mistakes. As we move forward, I hope that we can carry the lessons learned here into future projects and continue to grow as individuals and professionals.
