After waiting for so long, I have finally arrived in Taiwan! Frankly, this was probably the only part of the trip that I was looking forward to. I absolutely love this place and cannot wait to start exploring all the food and culture here again. I'm also hoping to be b able to speak more Mandarin whilst here as it's been a year since I've stopped learning Chinese (tbh, I find it quite sad how I don't get to speak it as often now).
I don't know what it is that I'm so captivated about this place. It's a lot cleaner here than Vietnam, I can tell you that! I guess it's because the place is a lot more modern and the stuff here are my 'trustworthy', if you know what I mean...
It's been less than 24 hours since I've been here and I can already tell you one thing, it is a place that's definitely worth going to.

Uni Frustrations
Uni hasn't even started yet and the stress has already kicked in!
I'm currently trying to enrol in my classes, which I only have 6 more days to, but I'm so frustrated because I'm overseas at the moment and don't have all my documents!!
My parents really did pick the best timing to go overseas didn't they?

Arrival in Vietnam
After flying for 9 hours, I have finally arrived in Vietnam! The last time I came to Vietnam was back in 2004 and although I did enjoy my time there, it wasn't a place that I ever wanted to go to again. But ironically enough, here I am again today!
It's been awhile since I've come back here, so there's certainly many changes that have occurred during that time period. For example, I do find the place to be a lot cleaner. When I first arrived, there were all sorts of rubbish on the side of the roads, it was repulsive! I also feel as if there's a lot less homeless people, which I guess is a good thing. However, one thing that has not changed is the very, very, VERY busy traffic. Literally, all you ever hear is the honking sound of scooters and cars.

Great Escape
So right now I'm in the midst of packing for my trip overseas for 3 weeks! It's been awhile since I've gone overseas. The last time I left the country was approximately 3 years ago when I left for 2 months to America, Taiwan and Hong Kong. It was quite an exhausting trip but nevertheless, it was absolutely amazing!
