First Day in Taiwan


July last year is the first time I step my feet in Taiwan. I was so happy and excited for the next 30 days I will spent a great journey in Taiwan. I arrived at 11 am in Taoyuan International airport. Even though the airport is not as grand as Changi Airport, Singapore but it still have wonderfull structure that you can easily enjoy.

There are also some mini stone structure. Actually I want to find out what is this but I dont have time to read them because the student from National Taiwan University (NTU) who picked us already waiting. I am not alone in this journey because there are other student Heder from Indonesia and Clara from Singapore that have the same flight as me. After clearing the immigration I met Ben outside and he told us that we need to move in the other gate to get Yu jeong student from Korea. Ben also help us to get taiwan simcard for our smart phone so we can stay in touch.

The airport building is in modern architecture and also decorated with excelent stuff.


After that together we fo to our apartment building. My room is comfortable and spacious, even better than my dorm room in Indonesia. It has a big closet that I believe five people can go inside, a mini refrigerator, air conditioner, a bed, and table plus chair for study. The toilet inside the room is clean and we can adjust the shower wether we want hot or cold water. In the afternoon Ben take us to meet the other student who already arrived before us to meet at a dimsum restaurant.


My order is just classic dimsum. I dont know what exactly the ingredient but my Taiwan friends assure me it does not contain pork. Don’t expect me to understand the name or the ingredient because I am not familiar with Chinese language >_< It tasted good though..


After eating dimsum and get to know each other, Ben help us to shop for our daily needs. I do bought a lot stuff also toilet stuff like shampoo, soap, tooth paste, tissue, etc because if I buy in Indonesia it will take room in my suitcase and make it heavier. Furthermore I do want to try Taiwan stuff, if I calculate it the price is not that much different and I do have sharp eyes on looking for discount stuff ^_^


So this is my toilet stuff for the next 30 days in Taiwan. Can’t wait for the first day in class tomorrow... 


See you on next post.. XOXO..

She promised to her grandpa to marry as soon as possible but it isn’t the only reason why she have to get married quickly. She have long distance cousin Geordie Cameron who really want to stake claim on her grandpa inheritance. It is not an easy task for a rich heiress like her when she is 25 year old virgin who doesn’t have any suitor. Lady Roslyn is very pretty but she spent 6 years to nurse her grandpa and doesn’t have time to look for husband. So she come to London asking help to her friend who is a widow Frances. On the other hand the famous formidable rake Lord Anthony Malory (Youngest from Malory brother) is avoiding every ball. He never like the attention. Not only for his good look but also he have pugilist skill which also famous and known as unbeatable make his appeal even more rising. The bad boy and dangerous aura is a magnet for the opposit...

Weekend Travel around NTU Campus

Today is a holiday. I explore place around the dorm in holiday. I like the architecture here. And I found a tiny area for children to play. The children can play happily here. In Taipei, most of the citizen living in apartment, they don't have their own garden. This public space for children is very useful. This is very nice. The child plays happily Even though I do a solo travelling but I feel safe because the neighbourhood is not crowded. My destination is Taipei Grand Mosque. I search on google map it is not far from the dorm. So I go there and planning to pray there. Taipei Grand Mosque It is not as big as I imagine considering Indonesia grand mosque is so big with 10 floor. The mosque only has 2 floors but it is clean and comfortable. I pretty impress because there are a lot of people in the mosque. Apparently, there is someone die. In Muslim rules if there is someone die then at least 40 people should pray for the corpse and wishing he has a pleasant...

Mount Qixing Taiwan

Today we will hike Mount Qixing. I am so excited because I only hike Mount Bromo before. When we arrived, first we se a very nice movie in a mini theater. I really like the animation and the movie help us understand about the volcano. The movie tell us about how volcano and eruption happen. After that we start to hike. There is Mr. Woody that from time to time stop to explain about some plants and bugs we encounter during our walk. I am the last one that coming. Thanks for Jack and Sinmin that help me a lot during the hiking. Even though I am so tired to hike I can’t help but put a wide smiley face when we take picture. It is actually a very nice experience because I don’t think I will do it if I am not join BACT. Eventhough my pace is very old lady like Jack and Sinmin always keep my motivation high. Finally after a very hard hiking (we took a hardest path) I am at the main peak of Mount Qixing. It was hard to keep our eyes open because the wind is too stro...
