My journey in Taipei, Taiwan has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by the warmth and hospitality of both the local community and the CET staff who supported me throughout my stay. The transition to life as a student in Taiwan was a little difficult at first, but thanks to the guidance and assistance provided every step of the way I acclimated just fine. One of the most remarkable aspects of my time in Taipei has been the genuine welcome extended to me by the Taiwanese people. Despite the occasional curious glance, I've been met with nothing but kindness and generosity.
Enjoying Taiwanese cuisine has been a highlight of my experience. From mouthwatering street food to exquisite traditional dishes, the diverse and affordable options never cease to amaze me. Exploring the countless drink stores and sampling various teas and bubble milk drinks has been a delightful adventure in itself.
Navigating Taipei's public transportation system, particularly the MRT, has been a breeze. Despite being new to relying on public transportation, I found the MRT to be incredibly efficient and easy to navigate, allowing me to explore the city and beyond with ease.
In just short three months, I've had the opportunity to immerse myself in Taiwanese culture, both in Taipei and beyond. Exploring historic landmarks, savoring local delicacies, and venturing outside the city to experience the breathtaking landscapes have left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
Overall, my study abroad experience in Taipei, Taiwan has been extremely transformative. It has not only broadened my understanding of the Chinese language, but has also enriched my cultural understanding and personal growth in ways I never imagined possible. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have lived and learned in this captivating city. I would whole-heartedly recommend the program to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure abroad.
