A rainy Weekend in Taiwan

After successfully completing the Quiz in Managerial Accounting on Monday, last week was kind of busy in terms of team projects. I had several meetings this week with my group in Marketing for Financial Services to work on our case study and to discuss how to continue with our project about Islamic Banking.

Besides, I had my first tennis lesson on Tuesday evening with the Tennis Club. I had to find out, that I'm not quite as talented as Roger Federer. So I was already lucky to actuall...

Last day in Taiwan

<br>So being my last day in Taiwan, I thought I'd reflect on what I loved most about this place and what I thought could be improved. I'll start with the dislikes first as there really aren't that many, and most of them you can't really blame Taiwan for. <br> Dislikes:<br> 1. The hot and humid weather - which you can't really blame them for being located in a tropical region of the world.<br>2. Lack of originality in street naming, e.g. Song De Road, Song Shan Road ...

Day 2: First day in Taipei- It's a whole new world

... but wasn't hungry any more- it kind of threw my appetite. After dinner (which was around $3.20) we left to wander some more. One stand had cheese ice cream, and we tried it. It tasted kind of like cheesecake. Bu xihuan; I didn't like it so I went to 7-Eleven and got some apple juice. Much better. By 10:00 we were all exhausted so we returned to the dorm and went straight to bed; we had another lecture the next morning.

In Search of Taipei 101

... to see it anywhere. The signs are no help--nothing is in English. The only explanation for this is that perhaps Taipei is divided by mountains, and there is another part of Taipei that I'm missing. There are mountains ringing the city--I'm assuming that is the end of the city, but perhaps it keeps going and Taipei 101 is on the other side of that. So, the moral of the story is, you should always travel with a guidebook.

Leaving Taiwan

... of course, one of the LAST ones to come out) I went to the tourist information booth to inquire as to how far my hostel was from the airport. I was told that it was around 1 hour away...but that there was an airport bus that went downtown that could take me there. I stop at another booth and ask about the airport bus and find out that the next one only leaves at 5:30 AM. At this point...I was tired, cranky and just wanted to pass out on a bed at my hostel. I also didn't want to ...

First week of teaching

My first few days of teaching were simply hetcic and confusing. I was given this Gloria English School bag with a whole bunch of books in them. Apparently they were all books that I would be teaching from within the next year. I was excited by this...structure and organization is always a plus. I arrived in Taiwan in the middle of the of fall/moon festival and so had Monday and Tuesday off. My first teaching day was Wednesday. I had been faxed this 'schedule' from the school ...

Long and cold walk to Chilan

... ask again the boss decides otherwise - reason not asked. By the way the thermometer at this station shows 7 C, already on lower altitude. We walk the remaining 11 km,which then will make it 40 km for the day. My legs also feel meanwhile pretty sore and Tsai Chin gets another ride with a young aboriginal family - my mission is to walk, so I walk. It is now downhill all the time, that is tough on the legs, feet and hips - I feel pretty sore and ...

Last Day in India (and a few odds and ends)

The small statue of the man in orange is of Sai Baba, an Indian guru, who was considered a saint by his Hindu and Muslim followers. He was alive in the late 1800's early 1900's. Throughout his life he tried to reconcile the two religions. He lived in a Muslim mosque, but was buried in a Hindu temple. One ...
