Day 1 and Day 2 Adventures begin

Seriously I can say that I am not really worry about my journey to Taiwan since I can communicate in Chinese pretty well. However, I start to worry about the financial problem since the food here is much more expensive compared to Malaysia. Hope I can cope it slowly. Thanks to my uncle and aunty for providing me the food and comfortable place and fetch me to the airport on yesterday morning. The flight was okay for me. Nothing big issues happened and thanks to Claire (my buddy) and the other AIESECers for waiting me so long in the airport. Even though my luggage is only 17 kgs ( I thought it will be more than 20kgs), it was heavy like hell. We had traveled by using bus, MRT, train and some kind like LRT in Malaysia to reach my host family house. They are really nice to me and my roommate Karolina (she is from Poland) and thanks to them for providing us a very good services. The mother had prepared a wondering and delicious dishes as the dinner for us and the food is surprising for me as I never took them before. For Karolina, that would be her first time to use a pair of chopsticks to eat. I am wondering what to give to them before I leave Taipei city.

I think i will not upload the photos here since I will upload in my facebook account. I will roughly explain about my feelings and my journey everyday if possible.

Basically today I had started my journey since yesterday was a tired day and we had slept around 10 to 11pm. Firstly I felt a little uncomfortable and cannot fall asleep since I can't adapted well in different weather and place however after a little moment, I was able to sleep well until the next morning. Today we had met up the other girl, Kasia (Another girl from Poland) at the subway with her host family members. Then we split and four of us (Me,Kasia, Karolina and Sandy (my host family)) went to the places such as Taipei 101 and the places around there with Claire who met us up later on. Then we also when to the shopping center where the bookstore is the biggest in Taiwan (Cheng Pin Bookstore), the starbuck here is different as well since the menu is a little bit different from Malaysia and the most interesting one is they do not have solid sugar but a liquid one. This was the first time I saw that type of sugar.


After that, we went to the Long Shan Temple by using the subway and we have walked around the area to find for food(lunch and dessert). Then, we ate our lunch with another AIESECer from Cheng-chi university whose name is April. she can speak fluent English and she told us that she went to many countries even to Malaysia before. I am glad to know her too. She had brought us to the places where the movie "Mongka" was shot. There was a pair of couple shot their wedding pictures there with different types of clothes. I think maybe someday I can do that too. =P After a while, she had to leave us since she had a meeting in her university. We had continued our journey with Claire and later on Christina (another intern from Czech Republic) joined us to have dinner and walk along the streets where the night market is. After we had our dinner and the walk, we decided to go back to our host family house since there is nothing for us to do and the place to see the night view of Taipei city is far away from our place. Thus, we had decided to go there another day.


I am looking forward to the place for tomorrow where we will visit "Jiu Fen", a beautiful place in Taiwan. Good night everyone =)

p/s: I hope my sunburn can be cured fast!
