台湾帅哥不多，但是好多酷哥！
What I said in Chinese above, is that Taiwanese boys aren't the best looking lots but they are full of style and character. I noticed many of them fancy black plastic frames with cool hairstyle...
The trip has definitely made me realized many things. Travelling alone is awesome, I enjoyed the freedom I had, I never had to report to someone when I was coming back, there wasn't any sort of compromise needed! There are so many advantages, except for the fact that I don't get many photographs of myself (which doesn't really matter). I brought Domo along and he was my replacement in many of the pictures.
Besides that, I also challenged myself in many situations. Things that I fear, I stepped out of my comfort zone and saw myself overcoming them. I feel so proud! One evening, a roommate in my hostel suggested cycling to the beach and night market. I haven't cycled for years in Singapore or anywhere else, even when I was in Germany, I had the phobia as I was a terrible cyclist. I have fallen down a few times which could have seriously injured myself, but I escaped unhurt. But that evening, I agreed and off we went... 4 hours of cycling on the road!! I was actually warming up quite fast till I had to go down a tunnel with the scooters on a narrow lane to get to the other side, it freaked me out. I crashed my bike but fortunately the scooters didn't run over me. My hands were smeared with black soot from the wall, and a blue-black bruise on one of my legs. I survived the few more hours and also the return journey via the tunnel which was such a nightmare! I really want to thank God that night for looking out for me :)
The rest of the journey was easy, especially as I could speak Mandarin, it certainly helped! Taiwanese are generally friendly and approachable but do not expect them to go out of the way for you. My 19 year old roommate expected a lot, she was complaining about the people, the hostel and the tour that she became such a nuisance. I was so glad we weren't on the same journey after that one fateful night :p
On the last few nights in Taipei, I had another freak incident. So from now on, I swear that I shall keep a distance from all Finnish men! During my stay in Taipei, there was always one or two of them in my hostel. During the last days in Taipei, I casually spoke to one twice briefly. The next thing I knew, he jumped onto my bed in the middle of the night! Both of us were on the upper bunk. I was shocked and frightened, and didn't manage much sleep that night, that freak actually tried to come over a few times. Needless to say, I requested for a change of room, as the following day we would be alone in that room as the rest had checked out! How freaky! It's hard to believe such things will happen in a dormitory, but indeed it has... I forgot my alarm this time but the next time I will carry one with me!
