SEPTEMBER 10th~17th
Hi! This is a place about the details of Gil's Taiwanese tour. If you want to share your photos or experiences with Gil, just e-mail them to me, and I'll pick some to add on, thank you!
Thursday,September 10th
14:50
Gil arrived in Taiwan
Gil went up to the room to take a rest right away when he arrived at the hotel, and slept until dinner time, then he came down for going to the Johnny radio show on UFO network. 
21:10
Johnny's interview lasted for about 20 minutes. Gil signed a lot of autographs and took some photos with the fans waiting there outside the studio. There were about 20 fans.
Gil seemed to be very happy that day. He asked all of the fans there to take a group photo with him. and was always taking photos of new things.
Johnny was the first person who played Gil's music video here, and siad that he's gonna be huge. So Gil went to his show as his first show in Taiwan. Gil sang "More than words" from Extreme with Johnny.
Friday, September  11
Gil went to record some TV shows here. I wasn't able to be there because of school.
15:30
Press Conference

Gil performed "round and round", "if you only knew", "I'm so in love" and the a cappella of "Mercedes Benz". The host was Johnny again. In the press conference, the record co. gave him a toy race car as a gift. And the "she-han-er" bakery made a cake with guitar painting on it for Gil. ( "chirdren are us" bakery is a bakery for charity to help a lot of people who had some kind of disease since they were born. And Gil promised to hold a signing session for helping the charity. Everyone who buys something in the bakery could get a chance to have an autograph with Gil.) The press conference was successful. He said that he must come to Taiwan often since he can get so many gifts! After the press conference, he went up to the room to take a short break, then came down again for dinner and the interview for ICRT radio station.
21:00
ICRT radio station
In the photo, Gil is going into the studio. He looked tired. Didn't talk much. The interview lasted for about half of an hour, then Gil came out again. During the interview, Gil's father (We call him Pa Pa) went out and took a photo with us. He's kind, really. When Gil came out, I gave him a small glass with blue liquid in it,and there's some rice carved with both Gil's Chinese and German names in the liquid as well. I didn't expect him to put it on, because often, when stars receive gifts from fans,  they just keep it in the pocket and say thank you, but Gil put it on right away! He's so considerate! It was late when he finally went back to the hotel again. So he went back to the room right away. We had some photos together.
Saturday, September 12
11:30
This day is really busy for Gil. He went to a famous temple here to take some photos for German Magazines. He was WORKING, not VISITING. Poor Gil, he looked very tired in the morning, and got no time to know more about the temple. But he took a lot of nice photos there.
But Gil was still happy to see the temple. And he took some photos with some saleswomen outside the temple as well, and all of them amazed at Gil. "How beautiful!"
Erm~ Nevermind. Temples are the most popular spot for foreigners to see. I hope that Gil had enjoyed it.
   
 
 14:00
Gil went to the "she-han-er" bakery house to do the charity signing session.
  The signing session was very very successful! It helped with the charity a lot! The whole block was full of people. It was nice, but the weather became bad then. It started to rain and guess what? Gil had to sing a song outdoor later for another charity! The performance was for supporting young people saying "No" to drugs, violence, and dirty books/videos.

16:00
Gil went to the station, Voice of Taipei. Its studio is very special. We call it Open Studio. We can see the singer and the interviewer while they are recording a show. They can see us, too. But they can't hear us.
Gil was there. The interviewer was Samantha K.

The interview included singing, talking and Q&A. The lucky girls who answered the right answer had a chance to take a photo with Gil. Gil was lovely. I wrote "You suit in black" on a board, and show him. He laughed happily and blew a kiss.  Though I wasn't lucky enough to be picked into the studio, I was very happy. Excited to see him recording his interview!
19:30
Gil's only fan party at the hotel he stayed. There were hundreds of people screaming and shouting in a small meeting room! Crazy, but unforgetable, for sure!
He played "Round 'N' round", "If you only knew", "I'm so in love", "Bang bang bang" and the a cappella of "Mercedes-Benz" He also played some games with the fans.
Sunday, September  13
In the morning, he came up nearly noon, and had photos with fans waiting there.
about 13:30. he went to Super live.
Gil performed "Round 'n' round" in "Super live". He didn't have time to perform more because he got to do two signing sessions later. But he was great and he was really shining!
14:00
Gil arrived to TCR records for the signing session. Again, the whole block was full of people. Some other people passed by started to complain. But Gil still finish the signing session quickly.  After the signing session in TCR, Gil went for another in Tower Records. He changed his shirt on his vain.(Green to white) My friends and I showed him a poster with "Gili! We're here!" on it.
He smiled, but he just looked bad. And Pa Pa talked to us for a while. The signing session here end up quickly as well. Then we all went back to hotel. Gil looked sleepy when he arrived to the hotel, and he asked the fans to go home. " I  won't come down again, I'm tired. Go home, girls." So we did. But only 20 minutes after we left(We were the last to leave), Gil came down and went to the night market... oh!
Monday-Wednesday, September  14-16
I didn't know much about his schedule these three days because I can only see him for 2 or 3 hours in the evening, because of school. And he didn't do much thing in the evenings. He went to the radio stastion Voice of Taipei for  another interview, and I called in. Besides this, he also went to two really scary and unforgetable TV shows. He also played bowling with some lucky fans.
I remember that in the evening on Tuesday, Gil was really in the mood! He's laughing and talking all the time. He was on phone with Tal, and asked us to say hello to him. That night, he was so energetic!
(L to R) Peter, Gil, and Lawrence.
They were having compitions in the TV show. They had to take roller coaster and to compite who doesn't afraid. Gil didn't lose, but he said that he doesn't want to do this kind of  show anymore.
The other scary show was "trick homerun". They showed Gil some ancient stuff and lied about the price. (The stuff was fake.) They lied to Gil and told him that the stuff is the national treasure and cost something like billions. (Pa Pa lied as well) And they made Gil break the stuff, and want him to take the full resposibility. That was really scary. But from the process, we can tell that Gil is really brave. He didn't bend down just to pay. (Pa Pa pretended to be scared and want to solve this problem with money.) And he's sure of himself that he didn't break it. When Gil found out the whole thing and knew that Pa Pa was involved, he threw things on Pa Pa and chased him around. They are really close! Anyway, that's the show. Really terrible, but fun. Gil said that he doesn't want to do that kind of show anymore. In the picture, Gil felt so bad and the staff in the record co. was comforting him.
Thursday,  September  17
Gil's plane was at 9:00, I got up at five and went to the hotel. Then we went to the airport together. That day, he looked unhappy. All of us are really sad, anyway.
All fans who went to the airport took a group photo with him. Then we watched him leave. That was sad, really.

So this is all about Gil's first Taiwanese tour. Hope you like it. Any quiestions or opinions, please e-mail me.
