Upcoming trip to Taiwan

Taiwan. Ah, the fabled land of good food, beautiful sceneries, and pleasant people. Never in my life had I foreseen that my very first trip to Taiwan would be on a school trip. The sheer thought alone invites incredulousity and disbelief, because to put it simply, it seems far too good to be true. As much as I can't believe my good luck, the fact that 10 lucky Eco Rangers would be visiting Taiwan from the 15th to 18th of November remains a fact, albeit a pleasant one.

We would be taking a morning flight to Taiwan, which departs from the LCCT. We would first arrive at Taipei, and would be taking a high-speed train to Kaohsiung, where we would be spending most of our time at. A quick internet check put my fears about catching a cold from the winter chill to rest, because the temperature is predicted to hover around 20 to 30 degrees celcius. Our teacher advisors for the trip, Cik Tan and Puan Ngau, were quick to put any myths about there being snow in Taiwan during the winter to rest by informing us that it does not snow in Taiwan.

On our first day, we would be touring various green buildings in Kaohsiung, such as the Green Library. On the second day, we would be visiting The Affiliated Senior High School of National Kaohsiung Normal University, which is abbreviated as NKNUASHS to learn and exchange ideas regarding implementing green features and projects in our school. We would be shown some of the green facilities implemented in their school, such as a water saving tap.

On the third day, we would be shown what Kaohsiung has to offer, through a thoroughly planned touring and shopping trip - what better way for us girls to get ourselves acquainted with a new place, right? On the forth day, we would once again, take a high-speed train back to Taipei as that's where our flight back to Malaysia leaves from. Fortunately for us, we have a night flight, which means that we'll have plenty of time to kill in the capital of Taiwan before we have to make our way to the airport. What an upside!

Needless to say, all ten of us are eagerly anticpating our upcoming trip. Stay posted to know how our trip went! :)
