Taiwan Day 1

Woke up early today to head to the airport. The guesthouse owner was nice to send me to the subway station to take the airport railway, also known as AREX. It is a much cheaper alternative as compared to taking a taxi.

Reached the airport early and queued to check in. The bad thing is, my luggage was overweight and I had to pay for the excess baggage. No choice.. My two hand carry bags were already very very heavy. After checking in, I settled all the tax refunds, and went to board the plane. Coincidentally, nobody was sitting beside me again. Just like the plane to Jeju. The flight was 2 hours, with a meal included on board. Had a quick nap before the plane landed.

Passed the immigration counter and went to collect my luggage. Everything was smooth and I came out to the arrival hall. Had to find the person picking me up, but I didn't see any sign, so in the end I had to call the driver. The driver told me to wait at the tourism counter so that the person picking me up could find me.

After that, we still had to wait for two other people because their flight was delayed. :( Could have reached NTHU earlier but all these happened. Reached NTHU and collected my dorm key. The room is really small for four people..

At least it was relatively clean.

After that, went to buy my mattress, blanket and pillow. By then it was already too late to go and find the teacher-in-charge of exchange students. Had to do it the next day. So I went to have dinner and headed back to the dorm.

What I was actually surprised was that my "buddy" actually told me to settle all the administration stuff the next day on my own. It is only my first day and I was left alone without guidance. Great.

Didn't have internet for the day as well :(
