Today is Halloween and I don't care . Well I saw a lot of little kids on the streets asking for everything, sweets or cash. But everybody here has really cool costumes, it seems they take it very serious. Tomorrow is a party for sports&social members (apple intern) but I missed to buy a ticket and I'm really not in the mood to wear a costume . But the weather is nice, since a very long time. I heard it snowed already in Germany, I'm really glad to be here . Thank god I have only 3 month and some days left, then I will have minimum 20 degrees every fu*`?'ng day.

  

even I don't care about east- or west Germany. You can download the tracks on Ostmob.de for free.

  

Hmm I can only repeat NEVER PARK YOUR CAR IN KNOCKNAHEENY

As some people already know on the 3rd of march I'll fly to Taiwan.
I'll start to learn Chinese at the Chinese Culture University in
Taipei. I saved some cash to stay at least 10 month without a job, but
I hope I'll have the oppurtunity to extend my stay.

Chinese was always my favorite language and I started learning so many
times but I couldn't use what I learned cause I always had Germans in
my class and no Chinese friends.

I like Taiwan very much, it's the best country so far, so what's
better than study Chinese in Taiwan? I have a lot of friends so I'll
use what I've learned everyday. I'll stay in Keelung, my favorite
city, not so big and crowded as Taipei but still big;-).

I received already the admission letter from the university, I'll
apply for a visa soon and I'll buy my flight ticket next week. I found
a year return ticket with china airlines non stop from Frankfurt to
Taipei for € 1000,00, that's a fair price :-)

that's all just for now :-)

I saw two Taiwanese films recently and I can recommend both of them.

1. Betelnut Beauty 檳榔西施
The movie is about a young couple - she is selling betelnut - he is trying to earn plenty of cash with robberies. I cannot write more without spoiling, but the movie is it worth to watch ;)

2. Summer's Tail 夏天的尾巴
This is a really nice film about friendship, romantic and growing up. The pictures as well as the story are very nice. Watch it!

Well I didn't make so much photos this time, I was busy ;). But this time I went to Sun Moon Lake and had the chance to have a look closer. It's really nice there. I met a nice Taiwanese couple, they explained me everything and later we had a nice tea ceremoney in of the hotels around this area.

You will find more pictures in the photo gallery section, even the biggest spider I saw in my life!! It was really as big as my head (maybe a little smaller). Furthermore in Puli I met a nice family while I wanted to buy some tea. In Taiwan most shops are family runned. So the shops are usually in their living room.

However, I miss my Taiwan and look forward to Keelung, it's really one of the best cities in Taiwan. Hopefully I can find a nice flat there next year.
