When I arrived at Taipei (Taiwan) airport, I changed my Aussie dollars (AUD$$) to Taiwanese dollars (TWDSS) The exchange rate at Taipei's airport was good; $1AUD to $30TWD. I think it was only $1AUD to $24TWD in Perth. Amanda from AIESEC MCU came to pick me up. I was a little bit worried when I couldn't contact her. However, luckily we found each other~
I bought a prepaid SIM card from the airport. However, the prepaid SIM card that I bought did not include 3G internet data. I was so internet deprived because my first host family's house did not have wifi too. #firstworldproblems My host family brought me to another service provider shop but they didn't have 3G data too. When I was nearly done with my internship, I found out from my cousin which service provider's prepaid SIM card includes internet data :( For those of you who are going to Taiwan for an AIESEC exchange or a holiday, i recommend you to buy your preapid sim card from Taiwan Da Ge Da 台灣大哥大.
Director Lin (小林主任) drove me to Nei Ding Elementary School (內定國小). When I arrived, the kids went home already. Charlene/Peiyun 老師 showed me her English classrooms. The new "coffee shop" is very pretty! This coffee shop is meant for the kids to practice their English via role play. Such an awesome idea! Thumbs up (Y)
Before heading home, Mr Lin drove me to Starbucks first to grab a drink. I love Starbucks Chocolate Cream Chip & Green Tea Frappe.There's no Starbucks in Perth :( This is my first Taiwanese dinner. It was simple yet very delicious! I had braised pork rice (滷肉飯) too, YUM!
My first host family is Director Lin (小林主任). Both Mr and Mrs Lin are very kind and nice. Mrs Lin makes the best home-made bread and both of them always buy food/drink that I like. We had stinky tofu and bubble tea for supper! Candy and Emily, 不要忘了我哦~ 姐姐好想你們！

I had 5 host families. It was a brilliant idea for me to move every 10 days. I get to experience and interact with different families. Since I was with different host families every week, the host families were eager to take me out on weekends #感動 However, I had to say goodbye every week :(
