What Is A Congratulatory

ask me every time Yes, I want a bag. Seeing as every time ^ ^ Sight and

So. I habs again not done more with the blog. I honestly hope that you get used to ever turn ^ ^ With the delays and so hihi I had to explain to Taiwanese here first: Yes, I am from Germany. No, I'm not really on time and also like beer. This has actually caused this horror ^ ^

Back to the topic. What I've carried so Wednesday was indeed finally held the Visiting Student Orientation. The Exchange Students and other international students were also there. I had Chinese classes to 15 clock, as every day. Unfortunately, the event was already going on but clock 13.30 .... Well. So much for punctuality, but I could not help it so really, right? I am (my classroom building is located right next to where the event took place) so there against 15 eingetrudelt clock and something, I've registered, got my welcome bag and sat down with pure. So let's say, I have tried to enforce purely me. The auditorium was quite huge, but in a hurry, I could really make up no space. And eager, as Taiwanese are just brought me to care for the assigned Employees at once a folding chair. So I sat then at least. Then there were still ne coffee break and a little more range. By and large the students were welcomed, introduced various facilities that we might need some, presented the program itself, and so on. So loud, more or less exciting, right? We have also seen a very funny video about the behavior in the dormitories. Do let's see if I can rustle up somewhere. That was just wonderful! ^ ^ (If Westerners ever give up for the rotation of such a video, then they make themselves equal to oeps really ^ ^)

Then we were divided into groups and have a campus tour made. Since I got something to talk with the people in my group. I am always amazed that so many Asian students looking to study here as international students. Then come from all corners of the world, but her parents initially views from Taiwan, Hong Kong or China. Tjaja. And somehow it was as no surprise that I was again the biggest ... (It's getting really stupid XD yes, it can not ALL be so small, right?) Self Camille (do not know if he is as shown below), is smaller than I am. And he is Filipianer (determined net write Sun muhaha à spelling correction in the comments please, will you? ^ ^) And obviously black. Yet less than I do. Unbelievable. After the tour we were eating as little groups or Hot Pot. So I was then a little more with the only German talking ^ ^ He who comes from Mannheim. Hot pot is honestly not my case. The clothes stink just too much. But it was all "chidaobao" (all you can eat) so we Protion after a heavy ice rolled out again ^ ^ Here, then parted ways. And somehow managed to have ego to dust not a phone number. Yes, you are allowed to laugh ^ ^


But when I think about how long I need in Germany has always to find friends (also real friends, non-time just so hello and stuff. I'm just not a Spaniard ^ ^), then surprised me here is not in any way. In order to make friends with Allan and Yvonne Mh ... How long have we actually used? Pretty much the first semester, what? And I am only a semester haha

@ Josi: Your registration is not allowed in here. It happens only once in life ^ ^

On Thursday morning I'm going to go extra more or to register (for the Visiting student program) only to be then laughed at by the woman at the register, because I had with too little money ... (no, really! You laughed at me! Man you can be happy that I can not really complain about Chinese & hellip , I'm going to practice with Eunice ... muhahaha). I had missed a portion of the fee in the preparation and thanks to my credit card limit so I could no longer stand. So really it was so not funny. Accordingly, I am contrite, then Chinese. Afternoon, after a sprint across the campus to a large bank, I could withdraw the remaining money to register and then finished (Teacher Wang: "Oh, to a bank you want to make it all but the 3:30 to . XD). Jap.

the evening, I'm still left with Eunice and her friend eat (Shida night market, where else ^ ^) Then Eunice is still time with me and we chatted a bit and listen to music. Wat makes you stop ^ ^

Friday morning we're both going to then extend my visa. However, this was of course not everything as we would like to have, so we went uncompleted. You can apply here as a kind of identity card for "Aliens", but would do so only if for would be on my admission from the NTU, that I do 180 days study. With me are a few too little ... XD So I run now extend every 2 months the thing. And as quickly as possible to find an internship so that I may yet get this mop. Because I must also pay more money for extending .... Yes, yes. Great, great, great. So I then felt myself. Extra got up early for nothing XD And I'm the queen of the sleepy heads ^ ^

We are then, because we once in the area, had gone to pick up more things from Eunice's old residence ( the woman in the gatehouse was very nice!) and have looked at the Law Campus. Then we went back towards the main campus, because so soon went off my tuition. But somehow create the people here to push still something small between them. So we still looked at by a friend of Eunice. We have thus studied a computer program, looking for an internship for me. Oh, she is already a treasure, what? It's really all the trouble ^ ^ That was a bit like the Moodle of WHZ, only in Chinese. And somehow we are here also become net really find it ... But I've written down the times and the times I will download and watch yourself. We'll see. I was then introduced into the shallows yet another cafeteria on campus (choose here - well, that I can not read a court ^ ^ - pay there - give the coupon here - packet request ^ ^) . Today I choose what was it-yourself. I was able to read anything, so I've decided for the number 8 and secretly copied while waiting for the title of the court. Thus, when copying I thought to myself, "Wait a minute, the last character in brackets looks familiar .... Almost looks like .... Sharp? "XD Yeah. Once in the classroom, my guess was confirmed. But I could eat it. It was not too sharp. Maybe I am used to it. Or at least I know now as "la" (spicy) looks like .... XD

Then I had my Friday talk. This went much better this week. I spoke about my family. Most were my classmates at the staircase interested ^ ^ It has also taken a while to explain that ("Uh ... What is the same staircase? Marathon? Mount Everest ?.... XD)

Friday evening against Eunice and I are going again. The 101st However, we have not gone in (Menne) and certainly not up and so .... I'll be there again probably have to go alone. Eunice likes to pay any money for it. But I would rather chew my right arm, as this is not a time to get on your 101! On my honor! We are then in a department store that had a lot of Japanese stuff. Eunice has also found a pocket. I still net. But I would rather buy one that I really love the first moment, than any that I just so much. I then got a small "Love-at-the-first-sight" thingy purchased. It is a small pocket quietschpinkes with white stars. No idea what I reintue there is money out there, but I thought that was so great (which has non-cost views nen €, so we went still ^ ^).

Saturday was somehow not be so made my day. I've long since forgotten. And then somehow got nothing on the line .... All day ... sat in a lesson on the phone with Uwe ... And then 9:30 into bed. Well. Somehow wars net so ... doll ...

Sunday I've basically spent learning with vocabulary and waiting to Eunice. First it was said, she calls at 10 clock. We wanted to go to Danshui. Quite a day trip. You drive about 40 minutes. Then I got about half past 12, a message that she is still waiting for their landlord. So that would now be nothing. But they came so to order one stop by, then we might as well stroll go so. Okay. I learn more vocabulary. Then I have Uwe and Grandpa called. And then I got to a 5 or a message. That they had to work at half 6, so we could take another day something. But they would like to see me before their shift. 5:30 10 Before then she was there. And we eat. On the Shida Night Market. Where else? ^ ^ And a little after 6, they went to work. Yes, yes. I've learned to depend not on time or dates. I am now fully multi-tasking, I tell you! Haha

Then I was alone or in a bookstore. THE Bookshop around here. As I discovered, also had an upper and a lower level and not just a ground floor. And when I opened up the Paradise: Books and Chinese comics! ^ ^ Yay! I'm then snowed back home (half hour later so? ^ ^).

I purchased included a totally divine book about cats. Who can get in or can even read the book store, which will necessarily do that, please!

The piece is called "Cat Getting Out of a bag - and other observations "a cat book by Jeffrey Brown. ISBN-10 0-8118-5822-7 ; ISBN-13 987-0-8118-5822-9. Just wonderful. The comic is in English, but you need that bit of "Misty" (the name of the cat) and "Meow" really do not translate. But who knows, maybe there is also a German version. What did I laugh! And again and again, "Yes! Exactly! EXACTLY! The Hugo also makes the time! "

Sun Enough of me now. Today I finally made my morning e-mail inbox of NTU and running. And I still have no clubs picked out. And tomorrow we write same assay. And then tomorrow is finally a marketing course. When I attend most likely not (because no master-student and only 60 people fit into the course). But I'm still up at 6 and try it. We'll see. Oh and if I could tell anyone how I downloaded English Subtitles with the original DVD (on loan here) can play together, then he would be the hero of my evening ^ ^

What Is A High Hct Result In A Dog

- shopping ^ ^

the Saturday I, like the previous post already mentioned, mostly spent at home. Wash with clean up, (the washing machine takes only 10 yuan property .... ... Community and the dryer does with the same ....) And rooms clean. cried

evening about a quarter of 10 to Eunice me then and asked if I would sleep for already (see, I always made from? I'm here and I think only once before at 12 ^ to bed ^)

of course I said no and made my way down. There, Eunice me some of her friends presented. On Sunday, were aiming to an English, a Russian professor and her assistant to Gugong temple in northern Taipei. Since you only just awkward gets there and they wanted to go by car, Eunice has since hung with the same pure ^ ^ She was not even there yet and I so obviously not. We went to the neighboring residence here (actually I can from my floor in the window watching ^ ^) in which Meiqing (the assistant) lives. This is an accommodation for professors, etc., that is also more comfortable. We sat in the lobby and have talked a bit. And this lobby actually has a TV! Man, as ^ ^ I envy the people we wanted to take us the next day. Unfortunately, nothing came of it, as I told Eunice on Sunday morning via SMS. One professor would not come until Monday. So the whole thing would move slightly. Whether we go out a bit did not? In Chinese it means "Wan" (fun play ^ ^) Also good. So we met at half 4 in front of the main entrance of NTU and went to Longshan Temple.



That was really interesting! The temple could hold out the way you are just imagining NEN temple. But the atmosphere inside was fantastic! For the dad would have been nothing. The air was really thick with incense. ^ ^ Because really ALL are running with these sticks around. In the temple was just prayer meeting. That is, were all aligned in the middle of the temple and sang in small hymnals. And all around, on the outer walls, were many small shrines to the many different deities. Three times guesses at what the most crowded? ^ ^ To the course of love affairs! Take there are two bean-shaped halves of wood that are painted red, and throws to the floor. Before you pray to the God that one but your so and so or such and such a boy wants to meet a girl. And you say to God also, how often should pay the 2 halves in the correct position (usually 1 or 2 times). This simply means that one half of the bean with the flat side and a flat side facing up with the needs. If so, then you can take from the so-called shrine Hongqian. And thanks to the god again. The Hongqian is a red band that is best close to the body with. It is somehow charged with the energy of God and causes well that you meet the person you soon ^ ^ Eunice insisted that I also try to UU, but I was able to dissuade me to photograph it haha And guess what? For me, many times the halves not correct. Oh, I forgot to mention that one should try to only 3 times. Then you have to first turn a round and can try it 3 times, etc. I think you have to believe it, so it works. Or maybe you also need a better hand-eye coordination haha But then I got a lucky charm for learning and made him equally charged with energy (wave 3 times counterclockwise in the smoke that comes in the middle of the Tepels from a small house ^ ^)

Here you see beautiful, the air density ...

then we are a Naicha (milk tea - Thanks for the tip Yvonne) drink gone. He's been very tasty! But Eunice works in such a liquor store and she said that if I drink it too much, get fat ^ ^ Na great. Every 3 days would be okay, "she says. I see myself here anyway rise "like a yeast dumpling" at times with the words of Mr Tan spoke to ...


Then we again driven underground. After Ximen. This is one of the shopping area of Taipei. And where we have landed two unfashionable girl again? In CD and DVD shop ^ ^ It was pretty clear. Haha But at least I can now also purchase the first season of my favorite series. Very nice. And the new Best of Arashi! Also great! In Taiwan, most CDs cost not even 10 €. I can not because as a music fan, and above all as a film music fan to keep me, I'm sorry! I mean, I was not in a clothing store. Good. I once bought flip flops. But yes, I prefer only here in the dorm, because the L ne just 36 or so here in Taiwan ....

Before, we were still eating very famous noodles in Ximen. Fluor noodles or something. Pretty slimy matter, with pig skin. I like it like that ^ ^ Eunice really like spicy. So she has tilted equal to 2 times hot sauce on their pasta. And then she can not eat, because it was hot haha

Then we took our treasures to the Shida night market. Shida is the National Taiwan Normal University. Night markets here's a dime a dozen. And food's there to be more ^ ^ At first we went to eat waffles. Unfortunately, we were both so dimwitted and forgot to photograph it. A good reason to go at least eat there again ^ ^ as we then found the waffles ^ ^'s available in soft and crunchy and are rolled up like a giant ice cream cone together. Because you can then let everything possible to fill clean: fruit, cream, vegetables, meat, chocolate, ice cream and and and ... So a hearty varieties are considered only sniffed us and for Erbeerversion and decided a chocolate version. VERY TASTY! Germany may be cut in terms of food really more than ne disc in Taiwan!

Diewaren really fast .... this Baozi stand

Then Eunice eaten fries and I have a number drawn and hired me for mini-Baozi (I was the 222 haha). They were also very tasty.

With even a milk tea or a water armed, we are then rolled home ^ ^

That was really funny! I really want time to 101! And sing karaoke! But this I do not know yet the right people haha

Boiling And Then Baking A Shoulder Ham

I would not buy this carpet ...

Hello my friends! After a more or less eventful week, I can sign me back.

First of all, apologies for the delay. You're not seeing that with the every day Post has put it does not sound all that great .... But that was to see, right? So here's the summary of my recent weekend activities ^ ^

most of my time here I've been cramming with Chinese and run ^ ^ I spent every day walk from the dorm to the other end of the campus. There, right on the back door of the campus, so to speak, is the Chinese-language center. Meanwhile, we are again 2 boys and 4 girls in our class. A girl had changed again, but now we have got a Korean woman. Half Korean .... You can probably imagine, where the mother is. Zaire's her name I think in Chinese, but I have not written the name seen'm not sure. She is a real doll. Speaks softly, his mouth twists into a constant cute, childish pout, running at slightly introspective legs and checked into the break, if her mascara is still sitting right .... I think I need this here no more imagine, is not it ^ ^

I'm still by far the worst in the class, now that we have to get another half a native speaker even more haha But you know me so, by something I will not be intimidated! That would be ridiculous! I notice already that I understand more and more. Even when I go to the meaning of some words in our lessons have my doubts ... We have just one lesson with extreme sports ... I'm not sure if I "bungee jumping" is necessarily to be so ^ ^

On Wednesday evening, Eunice and I were once again in the Cantonese restaurant, we have visited on my first day here. At present here the Ghost Festival is very timely: Everywhere you see people to build small shrines on the sidewalks and offer sacrifices there. Something like fruit or burn them to fire to fire and the dead money for their deceased. You can smell the smoke everywhere. In combination with the warm weather that can sometimes be quite unpleasant. I keep thinking that somewhere is burning a house or something similar haha But then I go around a corner and see a small shrine.

any event, the food was in the restaurant instead of in the context of this dead man party. We started at quarter to 10 at night. We were there too early, but there were already several people there: everything Apparently they were all students and friends from the neighborhood. And I was the only foreigner in the middle of it ^ ^ That was funny. And I can but still does not eat with chopsticks, let alone gotten meat from bones ... Here in Taiwan, chicken and the like shall not be separated from the bone and then processed. No, no! The legs and wings are simply chopped into manageable pieces so in all. WITH the bone inside. Especially fun is, of course, if you only stick to help ... I no longer even on reg. There is no day on which I am not besudle ^ ^

Eunice introduced me to more of their friends as they took pity on me and the meat from the bones separated ^ ^ Yeah ... Afterwards, then the boss has a long talk with us. So anything: 2 World War II, Jews, deportation, the local festival of the dead, etc. The first thing that connect the people here with Germany, actually seems to be Hitler. ... Somehow sad, right? I've also understood it much better than on Saturday (Erfolgserlebnis! Haha) Then there was such a shrewd friend of the boss ... The sold disinfectant sprays and breathing masks, and was with his English ... Give the rest you can imagine. ^ ^

On Friday I had to keep my speech in Chinese. I have told about Dresden. Everyone was very impressed with the architecture and landscape. However, containing no known Taiwanese, Americans, Canadians, Koreans and Indians Canaletto. Or Karl May Or know what the word "kennel" to begin. But other than that went quite well. I have not really talked much. We seem now to have to give a lecture each week. ... Oh man. And this week I had trouble finding a theme. Not to mention how long I've tortured the Chinese Wikipedia page ^ ^ But it can only help to practice, right?

After my talk, I was back in my favorite supermarket. Not that I would know this other mall except family and / Eleven, but oh well .... ^ ^ The funniest isses every time I do not know what it could be on the shelf in front of me. Or even better: I buy something and it turns out is as yet (only a little ...) other than I had taken the package ^ ^ So with my chocolate cream. I have deliberately not reached for the Nutella on the shelf, but I bought a local version. The is also delicious, but somehow I suspect that the chocolate with peanut butter is ... or something like that taste, so no matter. Just now I have I ever looked at the gym ... ^ ^

evening I got myself on the subway (MRT) and 5 stations on to Taipei Main Station down. According to the map should be there 2 large shopping centers that I could also see the same (as me so no one in sight ^ ^). However, I had to first find out from this giant station ... this has gone on for a while haha, where everything seems to run together: Bus, MRT, fast, etc. So of course gabs damn many directions .... But I made it then and then went into the first large shopping mall. Those things are great! They have absolutely everything! A bit like Karstadt - only bigger ^ ^ just go outside a plan, which I then could see already that I am in the 9th Stock wanted. To the household goods. So I thought elevator is so boring, I ride the escalator. 9 floors haha XD And on the way to eighth Photo 2 guys in front of me turned around and we talked a bissl. Taiwanese populists always to apply their English ^ It is really funny hihi turned out Two also Taida students as we changed numbers. One of the two is now only once a week to Japan. So until next week's will probably go with what time (and finally sing karaoke damn it! ^ ^)

And then it began. I'll probably forget my whole life net. You know, in Germany it all simply go shopping with and such. You go into a store looking for what you need, goes to the checkout to pay and then again with the product home. In Taiwan, this is something different ^ ^ It is on every floor, several young women, sometimes young men, all of which are responsible for a small area (usually a specific product brand or similar) and a smile all kind of bow, even partially and welcome one with "Huanying Guanglin" which means "welcome (We welcome their presence ^ ^) "means. And then they go to a jump. They want to sell so what, right. So the lady at the pad and carpet was in the 9th ^ ^ The stock was really persistent. You have to know that my room is tiled floor (do you spell that right?). And I have hardly any posters or other similar, so the echoes at times quite beautiful and pretty to look at is somehow different, right?

Well at least I looked out the corner of my eye this floor and stopped. My mistake. To make it short, I then bought a seat cushion and have again and again repeated that I was "this carpet please do not buy for 30 € like" ^ ^. Jap. Wonderful, right? Ne are not there's cash. You look to the seller of the goods together and gives her the money. She goes somewhere around the corner, gets the change, shall issue a receipt and ne done. No queuing. Because so many of the ladies there are ^ ^ Similarly, I'm still a thin blanket, a tea ball, NEN squeegee in the bathroom (as they're called, really?) And a Towel acquired. All in individual bags. Good. If I get the tea ball or a single bag, then I would be screaming hysterically running out. @ Josi: I can not begin to understand what you meant by ... packaging waste.

strengthened my faith alone to shopping in Chinese, I went next door to the second Mall @ Papa and Uwe: The laundry , which have been reserved for you! All full of art stuff. I have no idea when, but you had intended to spend a while in there. Good. I did too. But another reason ^ ^ I took the nice map at the entrance that play my search for an electronic dictionary on the ground floor and basement would. So far so good. But even here, all nicely separated by Company, except that the sellers were mostly male nice here. I then asked. And plenty was up, down, right, left, rear, front, around the corner and finally referred back to the main entrance. There I asked then actually bought a dictionary of Taiwanese company "Besta". Was not all that expensive. The only drawback is just that the device for Chinese-English is aligned. That means nothing because German. Or just very little. But I am now well on that deal. So it has me as possible on Saturday to wash my clothes with the right program. ^ ^ I can paint on the display because the characters and my little helper will speak to me, what does that mean.

After this successful experience, I wanted to eat something and then back home. In the malls, it is terribly cold. If I look like a get out, fog up my glasses ^ ^ It's very tiring in the long run. So I went back to the Main Station and have eaten nothing. Why? Because I have since discovered in the underground labyrinth a great store with CDs and DVDs ^ ^ Since I have of course been covering the same time haha Hey! This made They kiss again! The second season of my favorite series from Taiwan! And although reduced! With bookmarks (I know, I know ...).

Then I'm home but Selig ^ ^.



This funny sign is hanging on the inside of the toilet door in the Chinese center. Because I can not even stand upright. The main space is of course highly enough, but to the actual toilet bowl (or for mom: Hock-Klos ^ ^) is about two steps high. Not that I would be as offended by the cover, but then I watch my forehead on the door ....
right you see my favorite milk. On each of these type of plush cow is on it. Each in a different pose ^ ^

The Taipei 101 From my hallway. Yes, yes. ^ ^
