Efrain Ramiro Uh Degree student International Health and Nursing Administration Undergraduate Program National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences My first thoughts after getting off the plane at Taoyuan International Airport, back in September. What was I thinking when I decided to leave the world that was known to me for a place where most people could not even identify with me? Taiwan? Was I really ready for what was coming my way? Either way, I was in Taiwan and in times when you do not really know what to do, you do what you can. In the end, I got what I was looking for and am now ready yet reluctant to leave this beautiful country with a more genuine attitude on life and living. I have gained a lot of insight and think that I have progressively changed by taking my time and savoring moments as well as enjoying a little Taiwanese "Chao Fan" now and then. Coming to Taiwan for four years is an experience I won’t forget. This month has been filled with activities, and more importantly people, that will stay with me forever.
