Giving a lecture as a nineteen year old?

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!

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....

Arrived

(Wrote that on flight) Only two hours to go...  I am feeling a bit inconveniant due to a cold, but for the rest fine. I am very confident with the sirvice of the airlines and the kindness of the personal. First you have to know that this was my first flight. So I had no clear image of what to do in which prder at the airport. In Düsseldorf I just went to the information desk. Due to my online check they sent me directly to the drop off. The lady at the drop off station was very kind and checked me in for my second flight from Vienna to Taipei. In Vienna I just walked to the other gate and directly into the plane. Now on the second flight I asked if I can get an emergency seat. I had luck and got a place for humans with long legs in economy class. The meals are of good quality concerning the circumstances. The flight personal is very kind and polite (I know it's their Job to do so) let me give you am example: I asked if they have a power outlet with USB-port to charge my mo...
