I'm in taiwan!

I reached Taiwan last night carrying lots and lots of luggage (4 pieces in total....) I think I carried the most luggage in the entire plane LOL...

It wasn't that cold as I expected. We were picked up by a van arranged by NTUST which brought us to our dorms in the campus.

All 4 of us will be sharing the same dorm. Its really interesting. The room is very dirty ( I think its not used for many years) and we spent most the time like cleaning up the room. There are no mattresses and such and we just bought a very thick blanket (which is used for winter) as a mattress (since we are only there for a month, there is no point getting mattresses and such). The plus point is that I think it is free, it is of reasonable size and the furniture is great (I like the arrangement better than RVR ones). Btw, the dirtiness is about the same as RVR.

Our hosts are phd students. They are really great!!!!!! We rode on their bikes (this is my 2nd time on a bike, the first time in vietnam, it was MUCH slower)... Only then did I feel the coldness (but its not that cold)...

After buying locks and everything, we slept and woke up at about 8:30am. (We are meeting one of the phd students for breakfast at 9am). I think my chinese is going to improve by a lot from this trip. I am like forced to use Chinese to converse and read Chinese (fan ti zi) everywhere I go.
