Today marks the first day which i will be with Long An Elementary School for the following 6 weeks. It was a very nostalgic feeling, bringing me back to my old days when i was in primary school. Initially, i was worried that the students would be afraid of me and ignore my presence and not interacting with me. However, my worries were for nothing as they were all very friendly and cute! I got along with them pretty well in no time and they would share their snacks and toys with me too. They had a mini welcome party for us too, bringing various snacks from home to share with us. Some even prepared a dance or singing performance!
I was impressed by their performance as they displayed confidence even though some of them are not good in it.
Went to Ikea for dinner with the other Aiesec members from different countries. It was nice meeting new people in a foreign country!
Day 3 (16/5)
Had dinner with my homestay owner, who happens to be one of the teacher in Long An Elementary School. Had a taste of the smelly pot and i must say that it is not smelly at all! In fact, i kind of love it.
Day 4 (17/5)
One of the school volunteer mum was very kind to bring us out on a 1 day trip with her children as well as her sister and her family. We toured around Bei Pu old street and Nei Wan.
We stopped by for some Hakka Dishes which Bei Pu is known for
Met up with the other volunteer exchange students for this special tour!
Had a try at the local games store. Looks easy but its not at all!
A photo with both volunteer families as well as All Aiesec members within Taoyuan county before we embark on the suspension bride along Nei Wan.
We even got a chance to play GoKart, after crossing the suspension bridge.
After a long day, we still have the energy to sing!
