Taiwanderful?

First day at NCKU.

Our flight went well: smooth take-off and smooth landing. Kudos to Mr. Pilot.

Random Observations:
1. very prompt and very reliable airport pick-up service
2. very accommodating and very eager student buddies and guides - Apple, Vicky, John, Stella, and other friendly faces who welcomed us with warmth
3. time passes by sooooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwwwww :) we're in the province so that's just that, but we can take advantage of that when we already have research papers to do. We'll get to finish the papers & then we'll have time to have some fun fun fun
4. the campus is huge, and we're talking huge. It's a community on its own.
5. the dorms: so-so (the ones that we have been into), but i can handle that, I just hope that we can get a better deal :)
6. food - plenty to choose from
7. the Office for International Affairs - friendly staff, reliable, gives out very useful info
8. animal sightings: dogs (students can have their pet dogs, so there are plenty roaming around the campus) and a squirrel
9. I'm very glad that Tita Cons (Reggie's mom) decided to go with us. She's great! :)
10. I'm very happy that I'm going to be here with Reggie & Jen. We will be taking this journey together, so be it.
11. I'm going to be compelled to learn Mandarin that's for sure :) And I'm excited about it.


Did we make the right decision? I believe so. I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that the Lord led us here.

Let's see what happens. Exploration continues... :)
