A Taste of Taiwan

So much was going on the past week that I failed to find time to update you with anything. To make up for that, I shall bombard you with a load of photos and information. Gen and I were among the privileged students who were chosen to represent the Ateneo University for the 4th GLP Seminar held in Taiwan. It was a one of a kind experience for both of us especially since it was our first time in the country. We got to meet lots of people from Japan, Korea and Taiwan and al I can say is that it was an explosion and fusion of different Asian cultures. I had the opportunity to brush up on my Mandarin too. It's been quite some time since I had Chinese classes back on high school and I found it a struggle to arrange the words in my head.

The Taiwanese students presented us with a mini fashion show that made us laugh our hearts out!

Fu-Jen University has its own clothing shop inside the campus where students taking up fashion courses can actually sell their creations. It was very unfortunate that I wasn't able to check it out and maybe even make a few purchases. It was still their summer break and so everything was closed.

Also, I had the very weird encounter with this dog. It began chasing me and I got scared to death. I think my shouting scared the hell out of it too!

There were so many activities prepared for us there. This field work for example was a very informative and educational one. We went to Chengjheng high school, a juvenile rehabilitation center for teenage boys who have committed minor crimes. There was a temple across it and just like what I usually do, I made a wish! I hope it comes true soon;)

The National Palace Museum was a vast area containing artifacts and other remnants of the Chinese dynasties long ago. The massive collection impressed all of us. If only I could take pictures and show you. But I guess that's how they keep the people coming. The whole place was jam-packed with foreigners. It seemed more like a mall than a museum at the first glance.
