... we walked around and then waited for the return train. When on the return train, we designed a new playing method, that was that run to the bottom of the train. When the train entered into the train , it was very noisy, and we can scream out, and said whatever we want, and no one could hear! And the view in the bottom has different feeling with see from ...

... Colgate for a year) gave us a short tour of the campus, and then we ate Taiwanese boxed lunches; basically noodle soup in a little box bowl. It was very good and very cute. Once we had finished, we had two hour long lectures in one of the school's classrooms. One of Taiwan's economic growth, and the other on Taiwan's political history- both were quite interesting, although I didn't understand the economic lecture so well. Taiwan's political history is very ...

... a taxi ride to the Gloria Prince Hotel to stay overnight. The hotel was very nice and they kindly upgraded us to a suite. Now the beds in Taiwan are not soft, so if you are used to a fluffy bed, then get over it! The next morning we took a flight from Tapei to Kaoshung. One of the graduate students from the University picked us up with her parents and took us to Tainan, where I am currently. They are very sweet and also took us to the ...

... transfer to the ladder rungs, and I began my descent to the water 50 feet below. The ladder rungs were very competent and hardly corroded with rust, which surprised me. The climb down did not take long, and soon I was standing in thigh deep water next to Ted and Dr Ting's student at the bottom of the shaft. The water was flowing with more of a current than I expected and the temperature was pleasant, about 75F. I had a brief mental image of what fun this would be to have an ...

... Muetzen und Armreife verteilten und vor allem gab es riesige Wahlkundgebungen, wo die Kanditaten mit einem morz Bohei bejubelt wurden. Es war relativ knapp und schliesslich hat die KMT gewonnen. Der groesste Unterschied zwischen den beiden Parteien ist es, dass die KMT mit der VR mehr auf "gut Freund" macht, die Beziehungen staerken will und es soll z.B. ab demnaechst aus Direktfluege aufs Festland geben.

... ziemlich rasanten Wandel ziemlich fortschrittlich geworden und das haelt fuer mein Gefuehl auch an, aber bis wirklich alle "Schmuddelecken" aufgeraeumt sind und ein Grossteil der Leute einen europaeischen Lebensstandart geniessen kann wird es doch noch sehr lange dauern, oder es wird nie dazu kommen, weil die Insel einfach nicht so viel Platz bietet und weil die Mentalitaet der Leute und damit die Ansprueche auch anders sind.

... offen" fuer eine Frage, die man davor stellt. Auch glauben sie an Handlesen und dergleichen. Das Essen - sowiso fundamental wichtig hier - ist auch ganz oft mit Symbolgehalt belegt, wie z.B. die Ananas, die fuer Erfolg steht und deshalb bei Firmeneroeffnung und der gleichen verschenkt wird. Nicht zuletzt waeren da noch die Tierkreiszeichen (chinesisch), die Sternzeichen und sogar die Blutgruppe. Das waren auch eine der ersten Fragen, die mir gestellt wurden, wenn ich jemanden ...

... kleinen Seitenstrasse unweit eines ziemlich imposanten Tempels. Es wohnen drei Generationen unter einem Dach: Oma und Opa, die fast nur Japanisch und Taiwanesisch sprachen, meine Eltern und ein kleiner Bruder (13) und eine Schwester (9). Es ist also richtige Familienatmosphaere angesagt und wir verstehen uns super gut. Am zweiten Abend haben wir nett zusammengesessen und Omas selbstgemachtes Abendessen verspeist und ...

... first one looked like a love hotel with big, heart-shaped bed. It was a bit too expensive for me so I did what I should have done in the first place: I went to one that was listed in my guide book as the cheapest one in town. This one was, again, completely adequate for me: very centrally located; cheap; and tolerable - if not luxurious rooms. Actually it was quite a charming place that grew on me over the three days that I stayed there. I had lunch at the ...
