*god damn long, pay your patience if you would like to finish all*
Yes, I'm back from Taiwan.
I escaped to a colder place for 9 days,
It is average 18'C for the 9 days expect the day at 清境 which only 6.5'C
The freaking cold temperature definitely a great experience for me.
The happening from I arrived Taiwan till I left Taiwan was amazing fast.
I have a lot of thoughts when I reached there
and this is the reason why I want to blog it down
I would like to remind me myself.
I finally knew why people said travelling able to broaden our view and mindset.
I suffered some culture shock when I reached Taiwan although I'm Chinese
First of all, all of the signboard was in Chinese words which makes me feel so not used to it.
We used to see English or Malay words in our signboard and here makes me feel so not used to it.
Second one will be the weather in Taiwan as Taiwan is having their winter right now
While we are summer all the time. *ilikecoldweather*
Thirdly is the different handed traffic which cause some troublesome when we crossing the road
We are left hand traffic while Taiwan is right hand traffic.
Fourthly, I do have some minor communication barrier as different words used in both country
Such as pendrive, In Malaysia we used to called it as pendrive, but they got no idea on the words
As they used 随身碟 which I will understand it as external harddisk
Next, the civic thinking on there was much much stronger than us
They queue all the time, gave seats to older, follow the rules such as no drinking and no smoking
which we need to learn from them,
Besides this, the people are so nice, helpful yet manner.
They are so helpful to solve our doubt during our trip.
Frankly, this unlikely happen in Malaysia, there are but not much.
Here the ends of the culture shock I suffered during the trips
Here my thoughts during the trip
I have a lots of inspirations during the trips
It's about dreams, youngsters, rally, Citizen of China, foods and shopping
Dreams
I heard a raper having street performances at 西门町
He said he had been performed for 7 years however he unable to get support from his parents
He would just wish to able to out an album or EP but till now still unable to make it.
While hearing his rap, Im start thinking about dreams and reality.
Every people have their dreams and they would like to master it
But how many successfully master it.
Perhaps the person I mentioned he able to gather some money as a busker for his daily life expenses
But how about when getting bigger??
But I feel so inspired by him as he still so passionate to chase his dream although its had been 7 years long
A lot of people will start forget their dream after tired and exhausted chasing their dreams
They choose start their works for his saving and future family perhaps.
In my cruel thought, dreams need support by money
No matter who, we have to face reality *pessimistic thinking*
After long thinking, I questioned myself, What is my dream?
Well, it takes some time for me to think of it.
I have a dream, and the dream is align with the reality
I would like to travel overseas, while travel needs a lot money to support *asisaid*
I would conclude, People must dare to dream, but still need to know the reality that around us but not blindly to chase your dream.
I would wish the buskers able to achieve their dream.
Youngsters
Meet a lot of youngsters at Taiwan
I have to say, I envy them to the max as almost their skin condition are good yet they are so fair and have high sense of fashion
Besides that, they have a lot of places to go during the noon or night *incity*
Different of night market and business district with a wide coverage of bus and MRT.
It is convenient to the max for you to choose to go which night market.
I would say their mindset is much more open compare to here
Everyone dyed their hair and have a lot of some weirdo colour i saw as well *winterbreak*
However quite a big number of youngsters smoke as well no matter boys or girls
I think number of smokers among youngsters is lesser.
However, we have some conversation with the aunty uncles,
They complain that the youngsters now was only know play,shop and loitering
and they were worrying with them as they do not concern about the happening in their country
In my observation, the youngster sense of crisis might be lower.
But i got no idea on the matter as Im just at there for 9 days
But what i can conclude is their civic thinking is much better than us
But Malaysian Youngsters will have a higher sense of crisis and also understand the happening around us
Rally
It is definitely lucky to see a rally happen nearby 中正纪念堂
We just go there only realize they are having rally
When we went there, it is almost half of the rally
We watch the rally till the end,
It ends in a super peaceful way
Police got no take any action yet the demonstrator back in order,
There are people collect the flag and the rally item in a place to minimize the creating the rubbish
When the people leave, the place was still so clean
I never participate the rally in Malaysia, thus comparison made according to my understanding.
I would say the politician in Taiwan will be more steady and open mind to receive criticize
The demonstrator in Taiwan will be much better compare to Malaysia as from news, I would saw some will stay on the place to pick up the rubbish.
But then the number of demonstrator in Malaysia will be higher but the theme is kinda different.
Taiwanese rally is about 电力公司, while recently Malaysia one is about the fairness of election
The coverage for the rally from Taiwan is smaller compare to Malaysia.
Citizen of China
After there are direct flight between China and Taiwan
There are a lot China tourists at Taiwan
Most of them were come with tour
Thus we mostly meet up at the place where is tour hot spot
They were in a so huge people come over here
While their civic was pretty bad as well
It is much worse than Malaysia at least from what I saw in Taiwan
I would apologize if offended anyone here
They just speak loud in the public, cut the queue, occupy the shooting hot spot
In my view, they are so self-centered
It is definitely a big contrast between citizen of China and Taiwan
The civic, the manner, the attitude was a big different
This is what would China Government need to take more attention on the matter
The tourists reflect a lot to the country while the country will be tagged on those bad habit
It happen on the airport when a China cut queue then the people who queuing directly say it's from China
It is not a good sign at all especially when your country was developing so hard
Food and shopping
Here is the paradise of foods and shopping.
No doubt there are a lots of nice foods but the pricing was slightly high
However there are some foods that they think it is nice but i got no idea why it is nice such as 阿给
I almost spend near 500 NTD for my 3 meals everyday
It is high as we have to try as most food as we can within this 8 days
Thus every night market we eat around 7 to 8 types of food while we only 2 person to share the foods
I'm so miss the food at there right now 大肠包小肠，营养三名字，阿忠面线，芋圆，八宝冰
All of those food must try, you will not regret on it
There are some foods I havent try and wish able to try next time such as 牛肉面，臭豆腐
Shopping at taiwan was so happy as long as you have a lot of $$ or otherwise it will be very suffer
Even my friend who not shopaholic also became shopaholic after back from there
The night market and business district there was so so awesome
五分埔，西门町，士林，逢甲 is the must go place for shopping
There are people mountain people sea yet unlikely packed like sardin as the road was so wide
It is kind of convenient for us to shop
The things at there are cheap, new yet the service are pretty awesome.
They serve people in a much polite yet passionate way which makes you unlikely to reject them
Perhaps their tactics? But I prefer in this way compare to HK where I being murmur once I touch their things
There is my end of this blog *finally*
This is a summary of my Taiwan trip
I will update the respective day on what I had did and went in Taiwan
Money spent, experience gain
Travel did expand my view and broaden my mind
I learnt how to adapted the culture shock which will help me on facing other shock
Besides this, the civic of Taiwan really inspired me which we should learnt from them
I would wish Malaysia will become one of them in no longer time
Lastly, I very like the way they speak Chinese
It is god like nice.
