I was posted to a Junior High School in Zuoying, Kaohsiung.
My main duty was to share my culture and experiences with the 7th
graders of the school. Besides, I am tasked assist the school with their
international exchange program with students and teachers from Indonesia and
Korea. It was through these activities that I got to know and meet many other the
teachers and students whom I now called – friends.
School was only a part of this adventure. I have had
fantabulous host families (Yes, it does happen, I have more than 1 host
family). They are so welcoming and include me in all their activities. One of my
host families runs a church, Taiwan Presbyterian Church. With them, I attended
service, made friends with many youths of similar age, met an aboriginal pastor
from Seediq tribe, joined a Kindergarden activity, went for Christmas caroling,
attended Christmas parties, meeting random strangers, visit places and tried a
varied type of food. And, many of these are the “first time in my life” moments!
Not only that, AIESECers in NSYSU plans an event for all and
that is where I made more friends! Going around and having fun! Thank you
friends!
Through them, we managed to contact some AIESECers from NDHU,
Hualien for our New Year break. And, YAY! We had an amazing countdown there!
Thank you awesome AIESECers from NDHU!!! Hope to see you guys in Singapore!
Time flies and it was sad to say goodbye. Still, thank you
all whom I have met, known, speak to! For the great hospitality! I enjoyed the
time, it helped me explored the unexplored, Taiwan. This experience would never
be the same if I was travelling instead of participating in this project. Hope y'all will have a great time, like I have mine.
Adios!
