A reply from my host!

Today I got a reply from my host family.
 It was a short note to welcome me and a very brief introduction. Now I know that I am going to be hosted by Frank and Grace, which are a couple!

I'll write to them tonight to tell them more about myself and my life. I hope we can know about eathother before we meet.

I just read that we should bring along a formal dress for the time we will meet the president. I have no idea what I am going to wear, peobably a dress or a formal skirt and blouse...lets see what I can find!

I have lived in a tropical land before and I know it is very humid and hot. I guess I will need quite different clothes from teh ones I wear here in Finland!

I am thinking of a small gift for my host...probably some chocolate from the Finnish Fazer company and something Iranian, to represent both of them.

Huh, I have a lot to do before this amazing trip...I am so excited!

Update on me

It's been a long time since I last wrote in here. I am not working on my second master's degree's thesis. I am not sure if writing in this blog regularly makes any sense as it was first created for my Taiwan trip. I have another blog which I update at times, I'd be happy to be followed by my SayTaiwan friends. I write my opinions and thoughts on many issues in that weblog. Click  Here  to see my other blog. Thanks in advance!

It is now a year since I traveled to Taiwan, and I can visibly see how I have changed. I have grown up and gained lots of experience...can't say if I feel good about it or not as I am not as cheerful and happy as before,  but I guess this is a sign of growth and wisdom. Last year at this time I was not a student and now I am, having passed a full academic year and should be doing my internship and writing my thesis this year. Maybe the only worry I have now is my internship. I am not yet sure where I will be doing my internship... I need to complete my research and publish at least one of my works by next August. This is a promise to myself!

Sun Moon Lake

Sun Moon Lake is called so because it has the shape of the sun and the moon. Today we went there with many other guests and their hosts. It was amazing and I think if you travel to Taiwan, it is absolutely a must see place! Then we had lunch and went to Aboriginal Village! It was great and I couldn't believe they were real. The view was amazing and we got on a cable car to go to the mountains and saw the sun moon lake from above. It was fantastic and I loved it. The cable car was super clean and new! We then went to a Caribbean Water Splash and got into the boat to slide all the way from above! It was exciting and we couldn't even scream because it was so scary for a couple of seconds. I loved it and we all got totally wet, specially by the post splashes after we came down the slide. It was so fun and we laughed so much :) We also went to detonator which was very scary, and I regretted after it went up, but it was so late. Then ...
