This will be my fist days in Taiwan/18 days


Flights

I will start in Düsseldorf airport at 8:50am. That means for me to stand up early at 4:30am,  to be at the airport at 6:40am.
From Düsseldorf the flight will take 1h 30m to Vienna. In Vienna I have to change the Gate and take the flight at 11:35am to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. If everything works out I will be in Taipeh at 6:05 on 17th September.


The first things I will do

Get my luggage and draw some money with my VISA for the first days.
Buy a local SIM-card to be available on mobile and get free WIFI.
Find my way to the Hostel.

Place my luggage and go somewhere to breakfast and check in a few hours later.
Do something to get over the jet lag.
Maybe skype with my family. Depends on the time shift.

First days

The First day will be off and I will try to get over the jet lag.
Next day work in FlipFlop Hostel (http://www.flipflophostel.com/) will start at 9:30am until 1:00pm.
Until monday the afternoon will be off. From monday on I will work at Topology Travel (http://www.topologytravel.com/) in the afternoon.

Spare time?

On Tuesdays I don't have to work at FlipFop Hostel and I have the weekend off at Topology Travel.
I will use my spare time to learn some Mandarin and see the city, maybe visiting the local capoeira group (Capoeira Camara). If I will find a nice guitar store and have enough money I will buy a guitar and make some music.

I will update you about my Hobbies and what I will do in my spare time.

    One doesn't get over jet-lag - one just sleeps and waits forthe body to adapt, usually an hour time difference per day. The younger you are, the better...

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...
