Expensive Computer Pickup

After more than two months, I finally purchased my new desktop computer. I also managed to save another NT$12,000 by “borrowing” a new 22″ from work. It worked out all good, but it wasn’t good enough.

On my way to pick up the computer, I got fined for double parking. A NT$1,800 fine, ouch. By the way, it was my first since started driving in Taiwan, but compared to the fines back in Australia, NT$1,800 wasn’t too bad actually.

Stupid stupid me…

Now, this is FAST!

Back in my hotel room, at a rather less populated area near Tokyo called Ochanomizu, I noticed the Internet speed here was rather fast.

First I thought it was the new Google Chrome browser which made the difference. Then I noticed BT was working silently in the background. I opened it up and these were the figures at the time:

Fast Internet!!!

I have been using dial up back in Taiwan? This speed is incredible! The upload speed is faster than my average download speed in Taiwan, it’s just amazing.

This 2gb file suddenly finished downloading in a mere 15 minutes. Looks like I have something else to do tonight.
