Less than a month now!

My admission papers was recieved at the post office last week, but I didn't have the opportunity to go get it until recently. I have been so excited about it. The package included Letter of Notification, Letter of Admission, Admission Confirmation Form and information about the registration day. It also included a NCCU map. Among other information, the letter say I need to bring money to pay my tutionfee at registration day (August 27th), and I need to bring a copy of my incurance-document to prove I have a valid health incurance in Norway. I'll have to pay myself because the first month scholarship will be issued in the end of september.


Theese days I'm working almost every day, somedays from early morning to late night. I hope to have a week of summervacation the last week before departure, and try to find time to clean up my room and pack my stuff.


PS. I still haven't found housing. If anyone want to share an apartment, please let me know :)

1 month 9 days

I have a countdown timer in my macs dashboard, and I check it frequently to know how much time I have left in Norway for this time. On my way back to my military service I stopped by in Oslo, and together with my dad we went to a church with Chinese speakers. We met some nice people, and I got to practise my listening. I discovered how easy it is to hear the difference between mandarin and cantonese.. My dad has a scooter, and with me as a passenger he drove "Taiwaneese-style" through the streets of Oslo. I must say I enjoyed the ride! The sun was shining and it kind of felt like we were in Taiwan.

 When it comes to my preparations for the Taiwan-trip, I've found out I need housing. I didn't get a bed in the NCCU dormitory, and so I don't know where to stay. Luckily I have friends and family over there who will help find a place to rent.

Hot in Norway, hotter in Taiwan

Today we had a sunny day with 26°C, I felt it was on the edge of what temperature I can handle. Taipei had 30°C while it was raining. How is it on a sunny day!? In august when the class starts?


It will be a challenge, no doubt!


But I look forward to it!


Tomorrow my dad will arrive in Oslo, travelling from Taiwan. August 24th both of us will travel back :)
