haha this blog is like dead.

anw,my official reflection of the tw trip:

Most importantly, this immersion trip to Taiwan has made me a more independent person. Before this trip, my perception of independence had been just taking care of myself when I am alone at home, and therefore I always thought I was independent enough. But after this trip, which is the first time I am away from my parents for so long (3 weeks), I learnt that true independence is taking care of myself when I have no family to turn to; that calling my parents will not only be of no help, but also make matters worse by worrying them. The many difficulties and problems I faced in this trip has changed my perceptions of certain things, and undoubtedly made me a stronger person.

In Taiwan, I learnt to step out of my comfort zone and learnt to make do without the things that I take for granted back in Singapore, and also by being forced to interact with strangers and people whom I am not close to. New and stronger friendships have been forged, and it has certainly been an eye-opening and meaningful experience that I’ll treasure in the years to come.

hahahha.my teacher apparently thinks that this reflection seems to suggest that i was v unhappy in taiwan and so she sent me this sms asking me what happened and why was i unhappy.

anw, i think taiwan is much more fun than china, after having experienced both countries..its hard to say exactly why, but i guess taiwan is just more vibrant?? it shows in a lot of things..its quite hard to describe.and they're more creative too.hmm..china should stop hating taiwan and learn from them man.
