Three Months in Taiwan

Hello all,

On the 19th of November, I will be leaving Brisbane to study in Taiwan for three months. In case you are lacking in geographical knowledge, I will inform you that Taiwan is a smallish island located off the south-eastern coast of China.

I'm going to Taiwan basically because I won a scholarship to study over there, and I can't think of anything better to do over my Christmas holidays. I will be studying Mandarin Chinese at the 'National Taiwan Normal University' located in Taipei city. I'm not exactly sure why the word 'Normal' is part of the title, but Kevin Rudd studied Chinese at NTNU as well, so I'm trusting his judgement.

I leave Brisbane in exactly one month and five days. Between now and then, I have quite an intense amount of law to study, and quite a bit of money to save - but my flights are booked and my visa sorted, so everything is basically ready to go.
