UGH!
Wow I just visited an ice cream shop that sells 73 kinds of ice. Including the flavors: Pork, Chicken, Taiwan beer, Brandy, Carrot, Curry. I wasn't brave enough to try some of these. This was just to ugly. You find the menu below.
Fruits and the real Taipei
During the preparation for the Ximending Walkabout tour, next Saturday, Jesper (another intern) and I discovered the backstreets of Taipei and found a traditional market. This was really nice to see! Especially if you have a friend with you that can speak Mandarin. I felt visiting a hidden spot for foreigners, the hidden part of Taipei.
About my thoughts and my work here:
The first month has almost passed and I got used to the work and the everyday life. And I concluded my situation.
I have to say that I am unhappy with the situation and the way how everything goes. I enjoy the work I do, especially the community in the Hostel and the work at Topology Travel. But I had to recognize that in the end of the day I mostly feel exhausted. This feeling is caused by the everyday work I do.
I kind of feel like settling down in Taipei, but I don’t want to settle down. I want to travel and see more than just the hostel and the office (okay, my work at Topology is very independent and I often get out of office, but it is still work and office mostly). I start my day at 8:30 and come back from work at 6:45. After that there is not much time to do the things you like, especially if you worked the whole day. I got one hour break, in which I eat something and take the MRT to office, so this is not a real brake.
On top of that I have one day off within the week and one day off at the afternoon. This is quite okay, but if I have the afternoon off, it is to late to travel somewhere and I am tired and happy to have some spare time. In fact I have one day to travel around.
Concluding I have to say that I would like to finish this internship and the job earlier and start travelling more. Maybe for two months, maybe work somewhere else and then turn back to Germany to to another internship and finish my graduation completely.
