Tamsui University
Last Wednesday Allan and I were invited to give a lecture at Tamkang University in Tamsui.
The students study business and tourism. Therefore we were invited to talk about Topology Travel.
My task was to tell the students about my internship and the true feelings while working. I introduced my work and shared some experience I made during my time in Taiwan. The students had a lot of questions and I had a lot of time to answer them all and gave a small view insight into my life and feelings.
I had a lot of fun doing this and was instantly thinking of my dad who is teacher. To share knowledge and experience with others can be very nice. But I also can imagine the part, which is not so nice: Students don’t listen, are loud, making fun of something and interrupt the class. Actually I was one of these students before I joined the commercial high school. I don’t know why I did this. Maybe I didn’t want to take responsibility for the things I did and thought about it. Anyway, teaching can be a nice job. I’m not sure if I would do it but I still got some time to think about that.
After finishing the lecture the Professor gave us a small tour around the campus. A small campus with a impressive amount of museums and historical buildings. Especially the museum of calligraphy was amazing to see. The Chinese language allows new possibilities of writing. Allan said: “Writing Chinese is like drawing a picture: The content changes with the writing style”
That takes writing to a new level, we are not able to reach. Basically you can add nonverbal messages to your writing. This kind of works in other languages as well but I think in Chinese you have more options.
In the evening Allan and I enjoyed Tamsui river side and some local snacks to make the day perfect!
All in all this day was a lot of fun and full of new and nice experiences!
Thanks to Tamkang University for inviting us and Allan for a nice time! Enjoy Shanghai!
Here are some photos of the lecture and Tamsui:
