I am especially excited\u00a0 because this will be the first time since my freshman fall (2019) that I am able to have Chinese classes in an actual classroom again. The Commute is an easy 16-minute ride on the MRT from Songjiang Nanjing station to Gongguan station on the Green line. The MRT system has been one of my favorite aspects of Taipei, as I come from a town that doesn&#8217;t really have widely accessible public transportation system.<\/p>\n<p>From Gongguan station to the actual classroom is a bit of a walk, but I quickly found out that I can use my \u60a0\u904a\u5361 \uff08EZ Card) to rent out a UBike (public bikes that you can use all over the city) and make the longer walk to class a quick (but scenic) bike ride! Another thing I&#8217;ve learned quickly is that it is essential to wear the right kind of clothing for the weather in Taiwan. This goes beyond just wearing any pair of shorts or t-shirt; quick-drying material and 100% cotton clothing will become your best friend!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1511\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1511\" class=\"wp-image-1511 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.williams.edu\/study-abroad-in-asia\/files\/2022\/08\/IMG-4785-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1511\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A bowl of \u70b8\u91ac\u9eb5 has become my favorite after class lunch!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Study in Taiwan Vlog!<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@xle.f\/video\/7112731189357677870\" data-video-id=\"7112731189357677870\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@xle.f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@xle.f?refer=embed\">@xle.f<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>this was the first week on in person classes, and I\u2019m loving it! <a title=\"taiwan\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/taiwan?refer=embed\">#taiwan<\/a> <a title=\"taiwantiktok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/taiwantiktok?refer=embed\">#taiwantiktok<\/a> <a title=\"taiwanlife\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/taiwanlife?refer=embed\">#taiwanlife<\/a> <a title=\"ntu\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/ntu?refer=embed\">#ntu<\/a> <a title=\"\u53f0\u7063\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3?refer=embed\">#\u53f0\u7063<\/a> <a title=\"\u53f0\u5317\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/%E5%8F%B0%E5%8C%97?refer=embed\">#\u53f0\u5317<\/a> <a title=\"\u7559\u5b78\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/%E7%95%99%E5%AD%B8?refer=embed\">#\u7559\u5b78<\/a> <a title=\"\u53f0\u5927\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/%E5%8F%B0%E5%A4%A7?refer=embed\">#\u53f0\u5927<\/a> <a title=\"language\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/language?refer=embed\">#language<\/a> <a title=\"\u4e2d\u6587\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87?refer=embed\">#\u4e2d\u6587<\/a> <a title=\"studyabroad\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/studyabroad?refer=embed\">#studyabroad<\/a> <a title=\"traveltok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/traveltok?refer=embed\">#traveltok<\/a> <a title=\"fyp\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/fyp?refer=embed\">#fyp<\/a> <a title=\"parati\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/parati?refer=embed\">#parati<\/a> <a title=\"\u304a\u3059\u3059\u3081\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/%E3%81%8A%E3%81%99%E3%81%99%E3%82%81?refer=embed\">#\u304a\u3059\u3059\u3081<\/a> <a title=\"chinese\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/chinese?refer=embed\">#chinese<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c As It Was - Harry Styles\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/As-It-Was-7081404214387148802?refer=embed\">\u266c As It Was &#8211; Harry Styles<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At long last, I am finally able to attend classes in-person at the Chinese Language Division (CLD) at NTU!
