Whoopy Taipei!

Asiana Airlines served so well and they really did their best to make everyone feel comfortable. I have arrived in Taipei Taoyan International Airport Terminal 2 and again saw who was holding my name and waiting for me to guide me how to get my visa on arrival. I changed my money to Taiwanese dollars and got my visa on arrival.

When I passed passport control I met some Wikimania volunteers who were so welcoming and eager to help me how to get to Wikimania Conference venue. They helped me to buy a ticket for a bus and explained me how to get to Metro. I thanked them and even took a picture with one of them.

When going in the bus I asked some people to remind me when we come to Metro station but many of them didn’t know English so two students who were sitting behind me expressed their interest to help. In a minute I was their close friend and one of them told me that I was the first foreigner with whom he became friends. So he helped to get to Metro and even came with me till Overseas Youth Center and gave me his contact details in case if I want him to show me Taipei City. He was so much interested to practice his English and I found Taiwanese students very welcoming and helpful.
