First day in Taipei

Today was a great day. I have slept quite long and then I went with other trainee to Taipei University. They were presenting their project - One Child, one chance. It was quite educated - their goal is to get children more social responsible. The group, I've been in, first tell the children about World problems and than they focused on diseases, sicknesses and health generally. They were trying to make it catchy for the children - drawing and acting was the best for me :-)

I have also met my project leader, who told me, what should I do. I'm going to stay in the Yigge part of the Taipei with other trainee Geena from Indonesia. This part is famous due to its pottery. I should design the material about their culture, make an English map and promotion video about this part of Taipei. And also when some tourist came, we are going to guide him/her around this part of the city. I will also present Czech Republic and at the end I'm going to present all my work. I should have live in some house of the rich man, so I'm quite curious about living. Right now I live in Sansia with other trainee, but it's getting a little bit tight for so many people :-)

My first dinner in Taipei
Very cool part from this day was the dinner. I went with one trainee from Germany, Canada and Portuguese. We have met an AIESEC from Taipei and two Polish people and we have stopped by local food. There were so many things to eat and I have know only rice noodles. The AIESEC girl has translate us some food, but I do not remember it all. I put something on the basket. We have chosen it raw and than the chief cooked it for us. It should have been a little bit spicy, but it was soo hot! It was also a little bit "soupy", but it was great. I have chosen rice noodles, salad, something like mushrooms, balls from pork, octopus, crab, some fish plates and tofu in soy sauce. I love it! The best was the ball from octopus and crab. Well look at the picture and let me know, what do you think :-)

Later we went through the city and there was raining a little and it was great. So fresh. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, because we are heading to Taipei city ;-)
