Thoughts

  Had been a long time ever since I updated my blog. Have been staying in Taipei for 1 and half month. Honestly speaking, I got a bit of cultural shock and really needs time for me to like this new environment.

  Basically, I quite easy to settle down in a different environment, I have no problem settling down, performing daily tasks and work related studies. Nonetheless, it takes time for me to like this place. Perhaps, partly is due to the fact that I didn’t do much research before coming to this foreign land, which makes me encountered some hurdles in these period.

  Lacking knowledge of this island also makes me ignorant to their living style and sometimes ‘detests’ their behaviors. For example, I was shocked by their questionable foreign policies, their lack of bilingual or foreign languages opportunities; ridiculous news, slum looking houses and their havoc traffic.  On the other hand, I like their cooler weather as compare with Singapore/Malaysia, beautiful flowers, fruits, drugstores, and convenient stores.

  Taiwan certainly is not the place that I would think of settling when I was young. Of course, it wouldn’t be fair for me to judge this island based on my less than 2 months experience either. Thus, I would say to give this island an opportunity to let me experience and see the beauty of it. As this is the choice that I had made, so I really hope that it didn’t ruin my expectation.  

  All the best!
