Life in Taiwan
It has almost been 1 month that I have been in Taipei, Taiwan. It was planned almost 1 year ago, but the sudden, unprepared change of my life literally shocked me. I had planned several things after this exchange program - taking GRE exams, going to a German institute for my Ph.D, marry with my partner - but everything has changed. Even though this country is just 2 hour and half away from Seoul, all of those differences and loneliness, those other students who are far younger than me (oh my god, even though my blog's name is 'Young' sociologist!) had changed my mind. In many ways, giving up or reconsider.
Learning a new language(Taiwanese, or, Chinese) I know that I am still able to know and remember a new thing but also learn from many other students just beside me. they are the ones who are really young(at least 3 years~most 6 years younger than me) and smart. although I still didn't find the friends who is old enough to talk about what I am interested, I think I got a chance to be with those young souls who will soon be leader of each societies.
Though there were some stressful events, there were also several ways to resolve it, like riding along the riverside just near the NTU, swimming in the school pool which is really cheap, and meeting people to laugh and talk, regardless of whether we can meet each other again or not. life in Taiwan will be very short to dive deep inside, but will be splendid enough to grieve that I will never be in this same time and space again.
