Arriving in Taiwan

Today is my second day in Taiwan. So sorry that I have been late to make a posting.
Yesterday, I had my flight from Singapore Changi Airport to Taipei Taoyuan International Airport. I took me about 4,5 hours. It's so boring at first. But, I met my chair-mate in flight who is a Taiwanese. So, I was asking him for information about Taiwan. Then, he gave me so much good information for me, from the situation to the food and the place of interest. My boring was just like the trash to be thrown away. Taiwanese is very friendly. I have proved it by myself after one of my senior told me before.

I arrived at Asia University (亚大 - My campus) was at about 7.30 pm and the departure using bus was at 4.30 pm. It supposed to be at 3.00 pm to start moving to AU. So, it's also a great to be. I found international students who will also take the Spring semester courses like me. But, most of them are going to take the exchange study. And I was shocked at the airport in case of I was the only one Indonesian to be there. After we have met each other and gathered together, so we moved to AU by bus (provided by campus). I made friends with Thai (5 ppls), Indian (3 ppls), and 1 Korean. Arriving in my campus, we're introduced by the International College staff to the dorm and directly got into our room. I dunno whether it's lucky or not, I have the room with 3 Taiwanese. All is very friendly, too. I guessed I will get the room with international students. After all of the administrations done, I gotta meet with my senior that has been helping me for so long. This was my first time to meet them, too. We have been contacted each other just by using the facebook and Line. Hehee.... But, it's okay.

The meeting ended, I got back to my dorm. I was feeling likes a dream when I was there. Because the weather and the situation in environment is not the same with Indonesia. It's just like what we have seen in the television mostly. The building and even the apartment are covered by the stone (something like that) for their wall. Then, coming to the dorm, I arranged all my stuffs well and going to sleep.

At the morning today (26 Feb 2015), I was shocked again of the schedule given by the campus. I remembered that I'll have the orientation in my campus at 1 pm today. Obviously, I was mistaken to keep the schedule in mind. When I got up in the morning, I was suddenly recalled by something that I'll have another schedule to make. I was in hurry to see the appointment and directly going to the International College for the schedule of 9.00 am (I got up at 9.04 am). And so sorry, unfortunately, I got my wrong schedule that there is a newest schedule given to me before in the airport. Sigh... After that, I just walked back to my dorm. On the way home, I met my friend who are from Thailand. And I asked them about that and the answer was we have no schedule today. In my mind, "Are you kidding me?". This bad experiences brought me to meet another new friend from France.

Ti (Thailand), Victor (France), Me, Ton (Thailand)

I was asking to join them to Taichung City (We can say it is the capital city for Taichung District). It would be very nice things to get there. So, I joined with them. In Taichung City, I was looking for some needed items to my dorm. Then, This is the photo we were taken on the bus.
