Today was my first full day at NTU (National Taiwan University) to study biodiversity, agriculture, and culture with seventeen other students from around the world. I think that besides learning about these things, I'll also be learning a lot from the other students. Even though we've traveled from different places, we're all here to have this experience together!
I feel really welcome here. Jack, our coordinator, is very laid back. I also think he's trying to fatten us up with all of the snacks that are available. We're going to be very well fed during this trip. I'm hoping to try many different types of food here, even new kinds of dishes.
For lunch we took a trip on the MRT to a food court. I really can't believe how nice the public transportation is! Compared to Chicago (where it is gross and people pee on the cars).
Here are some of the snacks outside our classroom

More on the topic of food...some NTU students took us out for a hot pot dinner. It was not only delicious, but a good time to relax with my classmates.
I really enjoyed giving and listening to the University introductions. I feel a little out of place because everyone is studying things closely related to this program, but I think I am just as interested as the next person. That's what counts? Looking forward to talking to my classmates to get to know them better. Cheers!
