A taste of what's to come

I just called Taiwan. Yup - on the other side of the world. I wanted to test out the process of calling my hotel in case Sharon needed to get ahold of me while I'm there. I thought it would be like calling a Chinese Restaurant. But it's not. It sounds completely different. The problem is that I don't know how to say "Sorry, wrong number" in Chinese, so I just hung up. I wonder if they get a lot of those kinds of calls.

If you want to try it out, here's what you do

1. Dial 1-800-543-9764

2. Select 1 for english

3. When it asks for PIN enter 81339137872

4. Then enter 011 - 886 - 2 - 27735177

5. Just listen

Right now there's 28 minutes left on the calling card. So if you only listen for a minute, 28 of you can do it. We'll drive that front desk staff crazy!

After you do that, just imagine Sharon trying to get ahold of me
