Tainen


















Today we went to another county in the south, called Tainan. Tainan is almost the oldest city in Taiwan with a lot of nice places. We went to the national park and the calligraphy museum, and had lunch at a Taiwanese fast food restaurant. I had noodles and also some shrimp rolls, which I really liked. We had mango pudding after lunch from a shop nearby, it was lovely and I must try it once more.

We had dinner at an Italian Taiwanese restaurant, and I had pasta with chicken and vegetables! It was wonderful.

Messaging body seems to be very important in Taiwan as all the shops have sth for message, either wooden or electrical! I bought an electrical one today and a wooden tool some days ago.

Tea is a Taiwanese tradition, and they drink tea, both cold and hot every single hour. Wherever we go, we surely drink the tea! They even have green tea ice cream! which looks fantastic and tastes great! I like cold green tea, and my host have given me a package to take home, plus two special cups for hot greet tea! They are lovely...

Today we had a boat trip around the lake in Tainan. It was a hot day but still wonderful with the great hosts and the amazing Taiwan!

Host Guest Emails

I am now much more excited than before. My hosts seem to be wonderful! They are so warm and hospitable and I feel so welcomed even before going there. There are four of us in that town and my host, Frank said that the four hosts are going to schedule for us, the four guests and show us around and help us use our time in the best possible way! That's just cool, isn't it?  I should be thinking of formal clothes for the time we will meet the president of Taiwan. I got my formal shoes already!  I think I will pack my suitcase this weekend!

The most special trip ever!

Traveling is absoloutely one of my favourites and I have been to some European countries, south east Asia and Middle east. I am going to have the most special trip in my life so far…I still can’t believe it’s real! Let me tell you about that : I have been selected for SAY TAIWAN program which is meant to let us experience the authentic culture and lifestyle of the Taiwanese! The Taiwan government has now given me and 249 others from various countries the opportunity to stay in Taiwan for 2 weeks and to live with locals. I am so excited about this because I have always wanted to visit Taiwan and besides, I am going to meet people from all around the world in this program. This is a dream come true! I am sure my experience of this country will be a wonderful one and I will be writing all about my trip here in this blog!
