And it was finally here: the long-dreaded last week!
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday I was always still at work. Was also fortunate that my colleague Susan borrowed a scale to weigh my luggage to avoid unpleasant surprises at the airport. Also, I have concluded my outstanding discussions from the office and was on Wednesday after a final consultation with my superiors and peer reviews and report writing finally finally say goodbye to my desk. In the evening I went the last time at the night market for shopping.
Thursday I was still busy cleaning out with a pack and stuff. However, already at noon I had an appointment with Chongyao who happens to be on the day of his trip to Korea returned. And since he already landed at the airport and had to Taoyuan to Taipei, we met for lunch. And what finally turned out, he had even more time and stayed overnight. For the evening I had planned one last dinner together and I was naturally pleased with each additional guest. What I am very happy at all was that was just in the initial four people, after all seven. For my internship was succeeded by now already arrived in Taipei and I invited the same with a. For dinner we went to the Thai people:
was certainly a fun round. And after all had eaten their fill, we searched something to get out and after some so walking, we finally decided for "Lava," a club near the 101st Had I really expected more from the evening not so much, since, for example, Anderson and Michelle were at work. But in the end it was the perfect last night in Taipei and I was glad that my stay in Taiwan was able to finish it so entertaining.
Sometime around 3:00 or so but we went home. Friday morning, drove back to his family in Chiayi Chongyao, because this weekend was the important 中秋节 Mid-Autumn Festival, which one would normally spend with the family. Around noon, Jennifer came to my apartment. Although I was a bit busy with packing bag, but when that was done so half-way, we went a little lunch. And then went let's do it permanently: large rucksack on his back, smaller travel bag for the shoulder (in stuffed with a small backpack) and a (really heavy) plastic bag with a laptop and a farewell gift from Michelle (绿豆 糕 green-bean cakes) and travel documents in it. Behind me I had a decent pile of rubbish, but it could be with the price with the best will not be a problem. I still paid my last electric bill, gave the key back and took leave of the House managers.
as intense but with Jennifer's help, I dragged myself to the bus stop. Fortunately I had taken when leaving even a funny old Taiwanese, who also lived in the house, and that made me aware that the airport buses drove away not only from the station, but also by the Ambassador hotel opposite - again lucky, time and money saved for a taxi.
We just drove by bus to the airport where I sat there a while with Jen. But quite clearly the head was no longer anyway and luggage made me a little headache and somehow I wanted to Abschiednehmerei without fanfare behind me . Bring So I thanked him again at Jen for companions, for the gift and everything went through the security check. From then on everything was really perfect, from her luggage, no flight delays, 2 x Change in Hong Kong and London and home by train.
I even a "small" surprise had planned. Most of my family and friends were in the assumption that I would come home until Sunday, in fact I came home on Saturday. Iris (big sister) as an accomplice, I first identified that they could be picked up on Saturday from Grandma and Grandpa from station VB, at the same time as I was to arrive in VB. When we were at once both in front of Grandpa came, a first frightening emotion-free "Hello", until he found out who actually stood in front of him. Then I opened the driver's door from the car and scared the grandmother, who was also on the fly vertattert something. But I do think that both were happy. Then we went home
where I started cautiously in search of mom and dad. I then discovered in the computer room, both deepened the web. But when I said "Hello and what you eat today?", Was also at the two wrote in the face of the shock * lol *. Have me anyway great time and was glad that everything was so worked.
The next hours and days followed then more reunion and surprises for my part: surprise party with neighbors and friends on Sunday, new flooring in the room were running against each other, etc. Somehow, the two plans can, in principle, and everything was totally confused, but on the other hand, it was fitted just perfectly.
In short: it was exactly what I needed after the hard goodbye to Taiwan. Now it's the first time back on a "new, old life to get used to what should prove to be more difficult than expected (especially in terms of temperature, digestion and daily routine). As mentioned several times, the almost 8 months in Taiwan was in any event, without a doubt the best and richest experience of my life and I hope I get the opportunity sooner or later go back there again. And even if not, I've taken some of that time, I would not deprive other people.
Many, many thanks to all who have supported me, whether family, friends, colleagues, university, various scholarships places! And what am also particularly pleased to have all the positive feedback on my blog. When you hear of course like to be not only makes for himself, but that there were so many loyal readers. Too bad somehow, but that 's it with my blog! exchange Thank you again and I'm glad some of you again to personally see and experience!
