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!

Why Toby and Thelmas Camping is worth travelling any distance to.

Paradise After an amazing, silent night with the calming sound of the ocean in the background, I woke up and got out of my tent to recognize I was in paradise: Camping The campground is only small and offers space for maximum 15 persons. The small group of guests provided the opportunity of a friendly and relaxing atmosph ere. Moreover the bewitching environment, the friendly staff and the amazing food made this campground a priceless experience for me. The price of about 26 € per night included three meals a day (two buffet meals and a breakfast) and free use of all equipment for example Kayaks. I took a ten minute ride to the next small island everyday. This small Island was called "the office" It was the only opportunity to get some Internet and a call from my girlfriend. Actually this week was very hard for the relationship. The time difference, a bad connection, we were able hear each other only a few times

Long time no see!

Arriving in Tokyo was a two parted experience. My first thought when I left the airplane was: It's so cold! And yes, I felt the 30 degree drop from Phillipines to Tokyo. The cold air soaked me in as soon as I left the airplane. The second thought was: I am going to meet a good friend soon! Ruben and I are friends since we met in school. He decided to go to Tokyo for one year and I decided to go to Taiwan, so the decision was easy to visit Tokyo. The city itself is a very busy, modern, weird, full, vibrant and traditional place at the same time. Nothing like Taipei or Manila. The buildings are large around the touristic parts but get lower as soon as you leave them. I immediately felt lost in the urban jungle. It was freezing in that time and although I got sick we went out every day to see the all the different facettes that Tokyo offers. Another thing you should consider if you are going to visit Tokyo, is that it is super expensive. I spent the money f
