The good thing about staying in Taipei city is it's very convenient to go from one place to another. Taipei's public transport is very good. If you don't like waiting for the bus, you can traveling via MRT (or subway) to a lot of places. You can see that the MRT lines cover a lot of areas in

When my friend and I were taking a stroll inside Taipei Botanical Garden, we passed by a museum. Unexpected. The name of the museum is kinda long. So I decided to call it "Bu-Cheng-Shih" Museum in this post. It is formerly an administration building and residence of the former provincial governor during the Qing Dynasty. The building is

Studying is tiring. And that's why when you are a student, you should not keep yourself locked out in your room studying all the time. You should go out and enjoy whenever you can...(okay, i'm just bored and sometimes studying foreign language is getting the toll of me). =P The good thing is...there are a lot of places

There are two kind of Mandarin classes in Shida, regular (普通班/Pǔtōng bān) and intensive (密集班/ Mìjíbān). I decided to go for the intensive class simply because I only have half a year to master this language to at least conversational daily level. But, what's the difference anyway between regular and intensive anyway? REGULAR CLASS 1. Cheaper tuition fees because

At this point, you may have realised that you are enrolled for a 3-months course while you only have valid visitor visa for 2 months. Err, now what? If you show your certificate of enrollment when you applied for the visitor visa, it is most likely that the remark "FR" will be indicated in the remark column on

Sorry for the lack of post these few days. My friend visited me for more than a week and I was busy juggling my class & tour-guide-activity. I ended up sleeping for the whole afternoon today when she's no longer here. XD *lazy blogger* Right, let's go back to the school business, shall we? Roughly around one or

I know that typhoon are common in Taiwan during summer but I never thought I'm gonna have to experience it. O_O. Hmm wait, what is a typhoon anyway? Is it like the one we see in the movie "Twister"? Aren't we screwed if Typhoon Soulik looks like that???? Apparently, a typhoon is a combination between a very heavy

The other complex of Shida (Library Campus Side) consist of a few buildings which include Mandarin Training Center. Mandarin Training Center is located inside Po-Ai Building (no. 11 on the map), just opposite the library. Let's take a walk together, shall we? =) After the main entrance, you will see the campus square after walking for a few

Even though the spring term starts at the beginning of March, I need to complete my registration (and pay the tuition fee) on 21st February. Because of this, I stepped inside NTNU on a cold winter day (yes, it's cold in February..brrr). The main gate of the university. It kinda looks like a gate of government official building,

Few days before I arrived in Taipei, the school informed me that I could not stay in the dorm because I merely came for studying Mandarin. Does that make me "half-student?" Geez. I suppose they don't have enough rooms to provide all students studying in Shida. =( Anyway, no point in grumbling. The only way out is to

Before you can go on full throttle to find accommodation for the next few months/ years in Taipei, you will need your mobile phone and a Taiwan phone number. If you arrive in Taoyuan International Airport after 8 AM and before 8 or 9 PM, you can buy the SIM card for your phone in the airport. You

Today is the era of smartphone but the smartphone is not that "smart" without an internet connection. If you are renting a place in Taipei, the rental fee usually is inclusive of internet access (cable or wifi). If let's say, it doesn't and you really need an internet, what to do? 1. Look for the wi-fi hotspot The

Unless you have relatives in Taipei, most likely you will have nowhere to stay when you first arrive here. I have relatives in Taipei but I came with my friend and my relatives don't have spare rooms big enough to accommodate both of us. So we booked a hotel room near our school. If you are studying at
