Week one

first week of being in taiwan has been one of the most craziest and hectic times i have had experienced in a while!!!

18 hour days from friday to monday planning for the new term, understanding and goin through the whole process with the team of 12 people to come up wtih our national strategies and actions. we pretti much spent most of the time in the home stay working on this all!

Home stay for MC Planning 

 but we had lovely food from the current team :D yay and also went out to the night markets in Hualien which was nice, ,

Coffin Bread

 At some coffin bread at the night markets and also did some random video for some communications students that where in the night market. they asked us three internationals to say a few words in chinese and we was filmed doing it. following that went to the beach an chilled out on the rocks near the water, was nice to let our brains rest as a team and just relax for a lil bit.

after the planning finished on monday (a looooooooongggggggggggg 4 days of it!!) went to CCLC whcih is about 30 minutes away from the house for an intern reception party to welcome 2 columbian interns into the country who will be teaching english here. :) was a very different reception style party compared to australia which involves dinner and going to to the pub. Here we eat and play games and get to know the interns a bit more, was different but also pretti koool :)

anndd now we have our airconditioning working in the MC flat which is awesome :D and also internet finally!!! soo happy hehehe but have lots and lots of work left to do still for the next conference we are organising this weekend.

So far the experience in Taiwan has been insane and awesome :), I love it and i have been to buzy to actually sit down and relax yet, hopefully that day will come soon :) (nxt week) but everyday has been really good, learning new things, walking around Taipei trying not to get lost, ordering food has been fun :P hehe its point and hand actions and they somewhat understand :P hehe but its been a really good experience :) now all i have to so is learn chinese and then i can communicate and order food etc :P hehe
