Conflicts

Wow not easy. Maybe another reason why I am not so happy at the moment.

First of all: I want to be here and in Germany at the same time. I got a bit homesick the last days/weeks and I had to admit that it is not easy to be alone and to have nobody here in person.
On the other hand I want to travel and I want to make all this experiences, see the world.
I just had a several conversations with my Mum and my best friend. They both said this is the experience you make and that they would wonder if everything would be easy. They are right and I am happy to have my family, my girlfriend and my friends who stabilize me whenever I need them.

Making decisions

Maybe you read my last entry. I want to change the duration of my stay and come home earlier. The decision is firm and I am in conversation with my boss. Another idea is to change my circumstances so it gets more comfortable for me. My uncle inspired me to change my days off to Sunday afternoon and Monday. If this gets possible I would have the ability to travel over night and relax more. This sounds very good to me and I will do my best to reach a level where the balance between work and my personal wishes are well.

Nice community

The hostel is a nice place to meet many people from many different cultures. And to make music with all of them. I really enjoy that!
I practice guitar and some people would just sit down and start to listen. Sometimes we are about six or seven people singing and jamming together. Everyone is from a different place like China, Korea, USA, Canada, Taiwan (of course), Malaysia, Hong kong, Singapore... So we started talking and share our stories and thoughts.
That was the point where I started to think about a "hostel tour" in Taiwan. I just have my backpack and my guitar and travel around the hostels in Taiwan to have a nice time with the people.
Music connects!

I just found a coffee shop! Great coffee and amazing shop!

Maybe Taiwanese style? An old woman in a wheelchair does not give a fu** and just crosses the road :D

Ha! Some German culture found! Taiwanese Weissbier, such a nice taste!

I visited Taipei 101 today. It took one month to get there. I also visited Elephant mountain, but more of that on Friday/Saturday.

Thanks for reading this blog. (I almost got 1500 views…. You are amazing. Tank you!)

As always: feel free to leave your impressions, opinions and ideas below! Maybe you can write what you want to see and I can take photos of it? I want this to get more interactive ;)

See you!

Blogging is about...

Sun Moon Lake Sunrise Hey and hello! I arrived in Germany about two months ago and had a lot of work and organisation to do. But by now I have enough spare time to share all the stories and pictures from the last three months. For me blogging is something like a diary. Moreover it is a way to share my thoughts and moments with you and anyone who wants to read them, I like the freedom of doing this and I really want to catch up writing again. I will try to give an update every week. A few photos and a relating story. Furthermore the stories will have certain labels, where you can find them. Additional there will be other labels for different locations. Example: "story, Asia" or "story, Germany". I hope you are looking forward to this project with the same thrill of anticipation as I do. See you next week! Lukas

Why travelling in Taiwan is the best you can experience (Part 1)

Hey everyone! I'm glad I found some time to continue my blog! Since I am travelling I don't have really much time or I am just to tired! I hope you enjoy! Within the next two weeks there will be two more entrys coming. One at January the 20th and the next one about first February! Stay tuned! Update on my last article It is really fun to write down all the funny and strange things about Taiwan, compare all the cultural oddnesses and see why there are such differences or similarities between Taiwan and Germany. Altough I am only able to compare these both countries it is very interesting to read for everyone. Maybe it will give you a new perspective of seeing Taiwan. I will post a version here! Thoughts I am sitting in a fancy Café in Kaoshiung, south-west of Taiwan, enjoying the quiet atmosphere and a coffee mocha. Thinking about the last six days travelling, about my time in Taipei, all the experiences and how everything changed me and my view on my life. Tho...

Why travelling Taiwan is the best you can experience (Part 2)

Well, now it's almost over. I arrived at Sun Moon Lake, my last spot. I am happy to go back to Taipei in two days. But I look forward to my last week with mixed feelings. I am happy to finish my work and take some vacation, see some friends and then go back home. But I also will miss my friends in Taipei and Taiwan, which is a gorgeous place . Kenting I arrived Kenting in the afternoon. It was windy and the sand was flying into my eyes. The hostel offered free bikes, so I took one and rode to the next city to grab some food. Arriving in Hengchun I got some dumplings and went to the visitor information center to see whether I can go somewhere. There I met Tony. He was from America and moved to Kenting because of his girlfirend. We started talking and he introduced me to the area. Tony said that snorkeling should be great around here. I planned to go snorkeling on Little Liuqiu anyway, so I bought the equipment at a local store, Tony showed me. Since it was conven...
