Place : NTPU, Taipei Metro Station, Starbucks, National Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall

Second day in Taipei, I need to wake up early to have the training session with another Aisecer that will explain the job description of the project that I will do during my time in Taiwan. So, Vicky bring us to Starbucks, not so far from NTPU and it takes about 15 minutes walk (yeah we need to walk everywhere haha) and it is another culture that need to be adapted by me as an Indonesian girl who is always lazy to walk and prefer to drive car or take public transportation to go everywhere :p

Along the way to Starbuck, we pass a street that attracts us a lot. This street is called as the art street (Vicky told me that) because along the street we can find many arts especially moshaict (mozaik?) in ceramic that made by Taiwanese artists in order to break the world record.

si Bolang di Taiwan :D

Walking along Taipei is very nice. You don't need to worry about the polution, get sweat, or feel unsafe.

Soon after we arrive at Starbucks, we need another Aiesec-er members name Louis Lee and Trista that explain us the job description of this project. They are very nice, and Louis Lee told me how to make a simple website using an application named Wix that can be accessed through www.wix.com. It's quite easy and simple.

We only spent less than an hour for this training session. So, Vicky asked us whether we want to walk around the town or go to tourist attraction in Taipei. Yeah, then we decide to go using Taipei Metro to go to National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. First time using MRT, first time seeing modern public transportation, and I feel so amazed.

gaya dikit boleh lah ya

National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is very beautiful. We don't need to pay any ticket entrance, and it is ok to take pictures around that place.

Gonna end this trip by going to Vicky's house, and Gosh I don't know the name of the area, but her mom is so kind and nice, serve us with Taiwanese traditional foods and provide us nice room to sleep. We owe you a lot Vicky, thanks for accompanying us today!
