It's almost a week since I came back from Taiwan but I feel like I'm still in a Taiwan high. I met a lot of amazing people there which made the experience so much better. I started the trip feeling a bit lonely and homesick but after a few days I realized, no one is really
truly alone. It's just a matter of perspective. Being alone allows you to widen your horizon, meet new people and maybe establish ties with some of the most wonderful people you'll ever encounter in your life.
So to all you young professionals like us, I say do not be afraid of the unknown. Step out of your comfort zone. Remember that every single experience is a life lesson :)

My experience in Taiwan is truly one for the books. I know I fall in love with almost all the places I travel to but I'm not lying when I say that I fell in love with/in Taiwan. It's a beautiful place and the people are so friendly, it is impossible not to fall in love.
It truly was a wonderful experience. To my new found friends, again, my heartfelt thank you. I know this is a once in a lifetime experience. That "once" qualifier is the sad part. But it's true.We'll probably not get together as a group ever again but despite that, I still hold on to the belief that our paths will cross again in the future. As my favorite German saying goes, "Jeder trifft sich zwei mal im Leben!"-- which in English translates, "everyone meets twice in a lifetime" :)
wow this post made me miss taiwan so much :) used to go every summer to visit my mom. Except this year. :( Love where you went! And hello to taipei 101!!
ReplyDeleteaww, didn't know your mom was in Taiwan. I suddenly felt sad :( I only stayed a few days but I miss my Taiwanese friends so much already, I could only imagine being in your case :( Oh, Taiwan is such a beautiful place and the people are so nice :)
DeleteWhen will I ever visit Taiwan? It's hard enough to apply for a visa there, bec they're so strict!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're sharing pictures. At least I could take a peek on what's there.
and.. glad you enjoyed your Taiwan trip!
oh yes, I heard it's hard to apply for a visa there-- glad I didn't have that difficulty during my visit bec. we were invited by their ministry. But my next trip would probably not be as easy! ohnoes! lol :P
