A wonderful discovery

I was looking for a place to do my internship that would be a bit challenging. So I was choosing random places on Google maps and doing some research on them... when I found Taiwan. At first, I was like "What is this tiny country? I don't think there's a lot to do there." But when I googled it and found all the scenic pictures, the food culture, it's history... I knew it was the place I was looking for!! Then I discovered that Meiji Internships was offering this destination, I applied for it, and the adventure began! My Chinese level was probably around... zero lol so they found me an internship in an English environment, the interview went well, I could speak directly with the CEO of the company and since the very beginning, there was a very good feeling so I decided to go for it when they offered me the internship!
The staff from Meiji Internships made an amazing job finding me a place to stay, organizing gatherings with the other interns in Taipei, etc. Even though I came alone, I made friends easily and I think it would have been hard to be completely alone in a foreign country. I mean, I went to eat outside with my co-workers, but sometimes I just needed to go out with friends and not work-related people, I don't know if I have made myself clear... Anyway Taiwan was a crazy country in terms of tourism. Jiufen was so beautiful, it was one of my favorite places! The area of Tamsui was also an incredible spot, it's outside Taipei but it's worth the trip!
