Time flies

Hello everyone! 

I couldn't find the time to keep my blog updated and here is only a small update. I had a lot to do the last week.

My time here is almost gone and I just started to say goodbye. At least it was only for three months but I got quite familiar to Taipei. Not least because of my job as tour guide and a part of me will stay here. I will miss Taipei definitely and hope to come back in future.

The last week I spent a lot of time planing and booking my accommodation for my trip all over Taiwan. I will start from 5th January to Hualien, travel down the east coast, take some time in the south and visit an island before going to Alishan to see a spectacular sunrise and Sun-Moon-Lake for a beautiful scenic area and coming up the west coast to Taipei again. 15 Days of traveling. I am very exited to see what Taiwan has in store!

After my travel I will stay in Taipei for one more week to finish my internship at Topology. Within this week I will write some kind of thesis which is about the curiosities and strange things in Taiwan compared to Germany. I really hope to post a version of this here to share with all of you!

That's it for the moment. I have to sleep now to do my work well tomorrow. Maybe I will find some time next week to write a little bit more! See you!

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....
