My first experience!

Hi! I'm Nia. I'm an exchange participant from Indonesia. My project in Taiwan starts on the 3rd of September. My project is about culture and education in Pu Men High School. Since I want to know more about Taiwan, and have sufficient time to travel, I decided to go to Taiwan on the 29th of August and I was happy I could go to some places which usually I only know them by surfing the internet.XD

The first thing that I visited was about temples. So, on August the 30, I went to Zuoying. it was easy for me to find the temples because the distance between them are really close. These are several pictures I've taken :  

 

 

 

 

  

I really like the temples I've visited, because the architecture of temples are really creative, and Taiwanese people keep them beautiful. XD It took almost a whole day for me to explore the temples but still, there were several temples that I couldn't visit because the day was getting dark, and I wanted to visit a night market for the first time! 

In Indonesia, what makes Taiwan become so popular, one of the reasons, is the night market. So I was excited,and I choose Rueifong night market first. when I arrived there, I was surprisee!!! I could find a lot of foods that I did not imagine before. it was like beyond imagination.  for example is, this fried chicken (i don't know how to call it. haha..) 

there were rice, mushrooms, and meet inside of the chicken. It was delicious! I wanted to eat it again if I have another chance to go here..:3 Then.. besides the foods, the night market has a lot of games..

I only played a game that use gun and balloon. It was fun! I could not find this kind of night market in my country..XD

The next day, on September 1st, I went to British Consular Residence at Dagou. in this residence, you can learn about history, have meals, and enjoy the scenery of Sizihwan Bay. It was nice to take a picture in here.:D but when I arrived in there, it was on the weekend. So the residence was a bit crowd, and I only got 1 good picture.T_T

After visiting British Consular Residence, I went to Wude Martial Arts Center. It was amazing! I felt 2 culture are combined together, between Japanese and Chinese culture.. I took several pictures as well..XD

after visiting the Dojo, I went to a church nearby the Central Park. According to my map,This church integrates Roman and gothic architecture styles. It's a beautiful church I think.. unfortunately, I couldn't go inside because when I arrived in the church, I heard people were praying in there. Therefore, I just took a picture of it. 

on September 2nd, I arranged my schedule to visit shopping area, the places where I can buy cute clothes and souvenirs. I decided to go to Central Park. I was so happpyy since I could find a lot of cheap clothes with good quality of material. I spent the whole day to go shopping because the next day, my project would be started.
