It has really happened. I have left my country and I'm in Taipei :-) On Tuesday evening I have left my home and on Thursday around 10PM local time (4PM in Czech Republic) I have arrived to trainee house in Taipei.
After my graduation ceremony on Tuesday my trip to Asia began. I said goodbye to my whole Czech sweeties, last kiss, last wave and see you in two months. On 8PM I sat in the bus to Prague, heading to Taipei.Traveling to Prague was fine. I met a girl, who has been teaching windsurfing and we had a great talk about travelling, sports, pets and so much more. The trip takes about 2:30 hours.
In Prague I transferred to another bus to Frankfurt airport, I have had about 30 minutes to transfer. The bus from Brno was on time, so I had no problems. Next to me was sitting a guy, who was heading to Köln am Rhein to be a chief in some restaurant. One day he would like to work on the boat in Amsterodam, cool :-) The trip from Prague to airport took 7:35 hours. I have slept a lot, because we travelled during the night.
When I have arrived to Frankfurt airport I have been thinking - It' so big!. I have tried to find check-in, but I went to baggage claim (there was no elevator, so I had to take my luggage like two stairs up). Later I have found, where was my check-in and my Terminal 1. I have plenty of time, because my flight to Peking took off on 2:15PM. I have found a place to sit in Terminal 2, in Mac Donald, where the plains were arriving. This airport is so big, that I had to take a train to Terminal 2. It was funny. Later I have been wondering, how much people are traveling through the whole world, what is probably their goal? Maybe visit someone, maybe to explore the world.
When the time came, I checked-in and went to Terminal 1. I went to Duty free and I made myself happy, because I have bought perfume. I have got some gifts to it - like scarf, diary or some small perfumes, that was great :-) On the board of the plane I have started chatting with one guy from China. He was very nice to me and we were talking about our culture, habits or traveling. The flight was quite good. I've got a pillow and the blanket and there were no turbulence. On the other hand air - condition was very loud, food was weird and there was no TV on the seat in front of me. I have also never seen so many Chinese in one place, it was different for me :-)
The flight took around 9 hours and I have arrived on 28.6. on 5:50AM local time. My next plane to Taipei is on 2:05PM, so I had a plenty of time to get to know the airport :-) I have spent my time with my donkey named Kravička and he had been quite happy to see so much :-)
I went to shops, but everything was so expensive and in Chinese dollars so I have found a beautiful place, where the planes arrived and taking off. I have also read some magazines and I wanted so desperately sleep! But I was brave and until my next flight I was wake up.
My last but not least flight was from Peking to Taipei. I fall asleep almost immediately. The plane and the crew were normal, like the plane from Frankfurt to Peking. When I have arrived, some lady took my temperature. It was weird, because I have been walking and she was screaming: "You, come here!".I was like? Oh my God, what have I done?". But she has just took my temperature from my ear :-) Later I went through control, found my luggage and go out to look for someone, who will wait for me.
There was a girl outside waiting for me with my name on the card. I was so lucky, that I found her. I went to change my money, than she as helped me to buy my new SIM card and we were trying to find some bus to Taipei university. The bus was leaving in an hour, so we have been waiting on the airport, because outside, was sooo hot! After like 30 minutes, we came to university bus stop. There was a shop, where I have bought my first food - already prepared chicken with rice :-) After some time, one guy picked up us and we went to trainee house.
This house is for trainee from other project, but because I'm here early, I came here first and than I will go to another place. There are two flats in 5th and 6th floor. And there are already like 10 trainee - from Mexico, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Singapoure, Germany, India and some more :-) They were all welcoming and nice to me. We have chat a little, I took a shower, got on the Internet and went sleep. This day was long :-) Looking forward to tomorrow!
