Well after climbing the mountain and then nearly freezing to death in the bus on the way home I forget my hat, my new hat. I also have copious amounts of snot coming from somewhere between my nose and throat and I have to swallow it or spit it out, either way it’s not very pretty.

I’m on the way to meet a friend in Taipei, but first I stop to buy drugs to try and stem the flow of mucus from the bowels of my nasal passage. This is all because I forgot to bring a jacket with me, I never forget my jacket….. I guess that last birthday may have started the onset of KRAFT disease.

We were going to go up to the mountain with the gondola in Taipei to look at the view and maybe have a bite to eat but with the thunder storms around the gondola has been closed and so we make do with a local restaurant and anyway I’m happy not to go to far.

Yesterday when I climbed the mountain I really hadn’t fueled up for it, all I had to eat was two streamed buns and a coffee which really wasn’t enough to sustain me and so I’m not surprised that I have the snot today, although I wonder where it comes from in such quantities….. Is there a snot spring tucked away up there.

I got back early and take more drugs and then an early night.
