My first impression of taiwan

This is my personal blog and what I discuss on here is based on my opinion and how I view things. I came to Taiwan  in October 2003 . Although the government has me on record  since January 2004. I will not  go into detail about that now. Taiwan was a two  week decision . I saw an ad and applied . The next week I was off and leaving on a plane. I  didn't do much research on where I was going or look up what Taiwan culture was about. I do recommend that you read up about a country before you go. It saves you all the hardships on  making cultural bloopsies  AS I  often did and as a result got a book on Taiwan culture. If you had  told me ten years ago that I   would  be in Taiwan , I would have thought you we're nuts. I came here for MONEY first and foremost.As I got off the plane I  remember a distinctive flower smell , that   made me  realize I was in paradise. The heat flushed over me like a hot oven when opening its doors I later learned that  floral scent was actually from the airport's air vents and that in July the following year I would be sweating buckets  , October was not hot.I consider my first arrival  as the birth of my existence in Taiwan and as with birth no one remembers or can  only  recall  a few things in your childhood.I  came  alone. I didn't know anyone  except the phone no. I had to dial when I arrived. Not knowing the language and culture I quickly had to revise my Pictionary game skills  ( some hand signs and actions are not the same). I didn't miss my family or friends . When you live  in your own country , you don't realize how  far  you  have come  or how embedded you are in your own culture. Small things you take forgranted  in  your home country become  big challenges in another country. 1stly my name was spelled wrong which is why  I was delayed. Having figured out WESSEIS  was my name I hopped onto  a chicken coop taxi. A chicken coop Taxi-doesn't look like the yellow cabs but, take people to and from the airport. After 3 hours . I finally got the chance  to unpack and unravel
