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.

Facets

Hello Everybody! A lot of things happened within the last two weeks. Now I found some time to share a few things with you: Music I found a great place to practice drums. The music store where I bought my guitar offers a room with a drum set for 50 NTD per hour. That is about 1,25 EUR. Incredibly cheap! I try to go there two times a week to keep my level and have some fun! I am really happy I found this! Taipei at it's best Another thing I just discovered is Taipei. Yes I have been here now for almost three months and just now I discover Taipei's facets. This city is so amazing. You can reach almost everything you want within one hour. If you want something historical, visit Dadaocheng, the part of the city where Taipei started growing. From there the aboriginal tribes sold their goods to China. This part has a lot of this feeling. I don't know how to describe this right. You feel like traveled back in time. Many old buildings, no tourism, a lot of old people sell...

Fighting panic and taking risks

Taipei night view secrets Visiting Elephant mountain at night is not that special. You get a really sunning view on Taipei at night. And a lot of tourism. In fact it is special but not really nice to go there. To avoid tourism I planned a thrilling small hike using the unlighted paths and experience the vibrant jungle at night. Yes, that’s quite frightening but at some point I got curious. While taking pictures of Taipei at the top of Elephant mountain I saw a sign to Muzhi Mountain. Half an hour, 1.5 kilometers, dark unlit path until another peak. Go for it. Heading upwards to the platform my feelings were thrilling. The darkness got more as closer I got to Mountain Muzhi. The path got smaller and the jungle got louder. I want to give you an impression of my journey: It is dark. You are alone. Separated from others. Nothing to hear, except the whirring insects. Wind blows slightly through the huge bamboo. Somewhere a creaking noise. Suddenly a loud rustling right next to me....
