2weeks... 2days... of life-time experiences
Been a long time since I updated my blog (*sigh). Well for once I don't have to sit infront of the computer to think of what my entry's gonna be. This entry is about what I noted down during my time in Taiwan. Some parts are fun & some are boring. But what intrigues me is that I had the motivation like I never had back home. It feels like home in Taiwan. With a language problem yes. Although I'm not that mandarin educated but some of the gestures I could somehow understand.
