Next Stage

Oh my god~
How lazy I am!
I came back from India for 2 weeks already, but I havn't writen anything of that....
Wow~ "Lazy" is human's biggest enemy!

To the downer picture~
I am in Japan~
No la! I came back to Taiwan la!
Just want to share one meal I taken in Taiwan~
Taiwan is totally my hometown I think~
Everything here is soooo delicious~
I lost 3 kilo when I visited India, and I got them back and maybe 2 more just for 2 weeks!
Ho~ ho~ It's quite amazing ah~
But I didn't worry at all~
Coz I will JOIN the ARMY tomorrow~
For 13 months!
I got lots of time to lose weight inside I think....
Agra - Taj MahalJ
Just want to share with everybody the beauty of this building!
You can find so many astonishing design and Islam esthetics from every angle of this building!
I will not forget the day I visited Taj Mahal!
It is not only the master piece of this building but also the exremely hot weather that day~
Techniqually, this building should be called as master's' piece.
It was built by more than 10,000 workers to make this miracle happen~
And all of their hands were cut in order to preventing them to build another Taj Mahal~
The king was so crazy and cruel ah~
At least he didn't kill them~

Want to know how hot the day is?

Check my foot!

All burned and shed skin.... (Local Indians were just fun and thoguht that I am a monkey who danced and jumped on the floor....)

Acturally, if you are the international tourists, you should pay 750 rbs for the entrance fee.

Sweet officiers here will serve you a bottle of water and a pair of shoe cover....

That's right....

I missed the chance to collect the overs....

The price was that my feet just had to be cooked by the marble floor of this beautiful building....

You can see that I got many training programs (by myself) for the military in India.

So the program in the army camp will not be any problem for me!

Is it?

Let's see~

Bon voyage~ See you guys!

Incredible India!

Wow~ Three months la!
For the unfamiliar beginning to now, which means I can do most of things with ease.
That is a thing!
I know how to take a local bus which is full of people, how to bargain with driver of Auto Rickshaw, how to say something in the class even though I don't the topic.
Ha~ the most special thing here is I met so many different people.
Thanks IMT which is the TOP 5 biz school in India.
I can feel that students here are full of confidence to competer with any elite from the world.
Just like the T-shit saying~ I am Tomorrow (of India)!
Ha~ My dear roomates! Nice to meet you here!!!
Hope you all have a safe journey in India and even in France!
Well~ I got to go to the final exam now.
What a last day of India. = =

Nepal

It is an interesting country.
People here suffer endless troubles from governments and foreign countries for years.
Surprisingly, the smile on their face never disappered, moreover, it arounses the kindness and happiness of every tourist who saw it.
I had an extremly great time there.
Maybe the beautiful nature beauty and astonishing historical remains impressed me a lot, but I think the most attractive thing still be the good mood presented by every Nepali there.

I am back!

After 17 days trip, I finally came back to Ghaziabad where is my school in India on Sunday.
In these 17 days, I traveled through Mumbai to Varanassi for the front half of the journey.
All of the cities/towns shows many different specilities, culture, and beauty.
I also met so many different people on the trip.
Some of them are also travelers who always share with each other informaiton, others are local whose life are just run into by us.
I tried my best opening my heart to watch, listen, smell, taste and then experience.
It is a remarkable trip for me.

After India, I traveled to Nepal which is called the heaven of the earth by many people.
As the only Hindu country in the world, Nepali also take Budha as one of their idol.
The amazing combination and mix of religions are shown clearly in Nepal.
The friendly people and beautiful world heristage all made my heart leave there~

On the other hand, yesterday, 31/08/2009, I officially graduate from NCHU.
It is quite hard to describe the feelings I had now.
One way is that I finally end of my student's life, and another is that I will face the reality.
Ha~ However I still need to prepare the final exams for next week.
Then, preparing to do my duty for Republic of China (Taiwan) as a soldier.
Mm... Time is flying!
Got to move on~

India - Big trip coming!

Yes~
I will leave for a big trip now.
I will visit Mumbai, Aurangabad (Budist caves), Kajuraho, Varanasi and Nepal~
Wish me luck!
I think it will be the last "starkreisen" for my student life!
See you guys 17 days later~

India - Arno Virus

It's Him!
He is arno who is one of my French roommate.
He and Benji found out the big sale in India accidently.
That time, they bought so many things.... guess what~
The Arno virus (named by Benji) started to infect between all of us.
We just can't stop the temptation of the "ON SALE" signs.
It is the my first time going shopping with them.
I bought one show, one shirt, and one jean only.
But it still amazed me~
I didn't have any preparation to have a shopping here occasionally.
But the virus is too strong to fight for it!

See... We even stood on the heat on the public bus to the shopping mall which locates in the border of Ghaziabad and Delhi.
It will take one hour to there by bus.
(This behavior was admired by Taiwanese ambassors and some local Indian friends :) )
Luckly, it only costs us 10 RBs.
It will not decrease the bullets we brought to there to fight.
I will not say how many stuffs I bought recently.
I just can say I was sick very well for the past one week by Arno virus.
However, I think I just recover 90% now.
But when I look into my chest, I know the disease still bringing me lots of sequelas.

What can I say~ tight my belt now for living now!

India - Bees

There was a honeycomb outside of our window of toilet.
It is always so peace between us and them.
We may open the window in the day time and close it in the evening because those bees will be attraced by the light and fly into the room.
It's quite scary to see them when you take shower...
Acturally they are not normal bee whose job is collecting the honey from flower, they seem to be more aggressive and tough.
Their color is quite India, which means their color is sooo yellow.
This kind of yellow is like the color of curry which will make you feel so strong and intense.

Yesterday, when I took shower, there were two bees flew into the toilet.
I used Benji's electronic racket for mosquitos to trap both of them and throw them out the building.
There were still two more waiting outside the window.
I don't know why, but Benji try to kill them and open the door...
Then, it happened....

I believe it is so painful.
He can't stop screaming and washing his hand with cold water.
Then he used the mouth to full of Whisky and cover the finger.
We decided to inform the dorm's maneger to fix the problem.
HE CAME! THIS MORNING!
Such a here~ I have to say!
He just fire some newspaper which are tighted on a stick.
When the fire ceased, the smoke came out from there.
He started to use the smoke to be the lead to make those bees dizzy?!
I am not sure~
Anyway~
The left hand held on the inseccide to spray on them~
In that special moment, he used the stick to push down the honeyhomb.
Don't ask me what happen downstair (there is a garden).
I just know that we will not have bee problem anymore~
Hooo~

India - Dharamsala - as a tourist

The way to go to Dharamsala~
1st: you can take a direct bus from Delhi to there for 13 hours.
(450 rbs to 500 rbs)
It will depart from either sites to another everyday.
2nd: take a train to Amristar, then transmit by two buses.
3rd: take a flight from Delhi to here directly.
For sure there is only choice for poor student is sacrifising your sleep to exchange the money....

The place to get on the bus is the Tibetan Refugee Colony.
It is also one kindness example from India.
The people lived inside will not need to pay the tax.
The same treatment for the residents in Dharamsala!

But there is a funny thing~
The Indian government decided to not fix the road in Dharamsala anymore few years before.
As a result, the situation of the road there is really horrible~
(Think that you will sit on the bus for long time when the road is not flat at all)
Can't believe the car which is able to drive on that kind of road....
The tibeten is the typical Buddhists so they are so friendly~
I met someone in the village who asked me where I come from.
I said I come from Taiwan, and he was really happy and put the palms together~ then said: Thanks KMT and Taiwanese.
Anyway, it is a safe place comparing to other places in Delhi~ I will recommand the visitors to stay in this region.
This guy whose name is Phurgar is a Chinese Tibeten.
He came from ChingHai province which was belonged to Tibet years before.
It is another example of the behavior communist governmnet....
In the future, if they really need to return Tibet for Tibeten, the area will be smaller...
Anyway, he is so nice people.
We joined a lessen of Buddhist Scripture and had a lunch together after the meal.
He told us he can take us to meet Karmaba~ (In Taiwan, we called him 大寶法王)
In the end, I felt so happy I did it.
Thanks Phurgar, I got chance to see many non-tourist place.
He asked me whether I will come back in the futre, I think the answer should be positive.The 17th Karmapa will meet everybody for half an hour every Wednesday and Saturday.
I have this chance to meet the holiness of him personaly.
It is so great!
His characteristic are peace and pre-eminet.
He will give you a red rope when you walked in front of him.
I tighted it on my neck (you can see from the upper picture) which will bring me good luck and safe.
It is quite important for me for the traveling in India.

This temple is where he lives now.
There are many Lama also lived in the dorms next to the bulding.
If you are intered in it, you can also visit that website which talked about many stories about him.
He is admitted by Chinese government but still escaped to India to meet Dalai Lama to preach more concentrated.
Besides those religional issue, the restaurants here are sooooooo great for east Asians.
Since the food is quite close to ours, you can find Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and for sure the Tibeten food easily.
The price is also recenable!
We met three funny and incredible Japanese and one Indian Swisser.
They all have differerent backgroud and story.
One of them have connected his interest with carrer and do it quite well now.
I am really really impressed with that!!!
Another is just taking a rest from the doctor job.
Some is planing for travel for three more years.
Oh my god!
It's so pity we meet for a short time~
Now they all are going to meditation.
Hope they can get what they pursue~

Lots of Lamas are in this place.
They always show shy and sanctity, but I still asked them to take a photo with me~ ha ha!

Dharamsala is still an Indian territory.
When you walked for 2 kms from here, you will arrive a small Indian towns where live most of Indian tourists.
It is quite funny because you will find most of Indians all lived here.
If you walked further~ a waterfall will make you believe that you are really in the Himalaya!
On the way to the waterfall, there are around three groups of people asking us to take picture with them.
Did I look like Jacky Chen?
I don't think so~ maybe it's another way to show their modest~ :P
Guess what!
Most of the Indians come here for swimming!
They weared only underwear and jumped into the water~
Some of them even screamed like a little girl when they sat into the water XD
And you can also find out they are all men!
Most of tourists are group of men in India~
It's another specility here~ Although the weather here is not really that good.
But the rainbow after the rain always amazed everyone.
I am willing to take this picture and climbed to the aisle of some Tibeten's house.
They are still soooo friendly to let me take as many pictures as possible~
I felt so home here~ Can I just stay here until I go back to Taiwan?
No! I can't! I got to see more India~
The dogs here which are the first time I saw looks not too thin as crazy fashion model....
Acturally I mean the dogs look 'normal.'
Is it the effect of Budda?
Ha~ I am not sure~
But for dogs to live with those kind and pious people should be really well-being!

India - Dharamsala

It's so coincident that I decided to go to Dharamsala.
I just read some information on the internet, and I thought maybe it will be an amazing journey for me in India.
Dahramsala is famous because it is the location of Government of Tibet in Exile (西藏流亡政府), at the same time, Dalai Lama's resident is also here.
In 1949, Communist Chinese army marched into Tibet and started to control whole Tibet.
In 1959, Chinese government invited Dalai Lama to have a meal with the officers, most of Tibeten took this as a chace to trap him and got together outside of DaLai Lama's residence asking him to leave Tibet to protect himself and keep the spirit of Tibet going!
He did, he leaded around 250,000 people with him to leave Tibet to India, Budan, and Nepal.
Dharamsala is the centre of the excile goverment and also a popular place for people who interested in Tibeten Buddism.

Acturally I have to admit I am not really sure this history.
For Taiwanese, I got KMT's historial education which is not familiar with this at all.
(They have lost the war and retreated to Taiwan in that period)
But there are still lots of people in Taiwan who followed Dalai Lama as Tibeten Buddhists.
This year is just the 50th year of the asylum setup.
I am so impressed to India that they were willing to share their land with those guests.
I think not so many countries in the world who will feel free to do this.
Although only really few Indians are Buddhists, this religion still created here.
The written words in Tibet is based on Hindi (really similar).
Anyway, just like Dalai Lama said, Thanks India! You let the spirits of Tibet be able to keep.

I also took the chance to read some books about Tibet for this staying in Dahramsala.
I will try to discuss it as abjective as possible, but it is still so hard!
One monk introduced Buddhism to Tibet between 7th to 8th.
Tibet took this as their national religion after that.
The relationship with China and Tibet is always tight.
Mongolia (Yung Dynasty) and Manchu (Ching dynasty) were the foreign rulers for China.
They all asked Tibeten Buddhist as their national religion.
Most of the ceremony will also invite Tibeten monks to be the host.
Look at the Chinese history, they didn't like to attact other countries.
Mostly, they always asked them to take China as the king.
You can imagine the relationship between UK and other menbers of Great British countries.
It should be a little bit similar.
Based on that, I have to say Tibet was never belonged to China.

For 1959 to 90s, Dalai Lama still called upon Chinese government to return Tibet to themselves.
He also promised he will give up his any authorities on Tibet, moreover, he will help Tibet become a democratic country.
Recently, he changed a little bit to say he will be willing to let China as their country, but he hope Tibet be able to have parts of autonomy.

Unfortunately, Chinese government didn't have any positive opinion about that.
Based Tibeten govenment statistic, there were more than 1,200,000 Tibeten (1/6 of the population) killed by Chinese military or work-camp for the ruling of communist China.
Besides that, poor Tibet also suffered the destroy of Cultural Revelution in China.
90% of historial and religional stuffs were gone or become ruins.
And countless Chinese move into Tibet, it is not only gaining many business of Tibeten but also ruined and diluted the Tibeten traditions.

In sum, I learned some history and the real situation here.
Nevertheless it is not the big harvest for me for this time.
I kept find out how friendly Tibetens are.
They always showed their hospitality and kind for every tourists.
You don't need to bargain when you buy anything because most of them are honest to do the business.
For Chinese, they didn't even say to revenge or any evil words.
Dalai Lama keep ask everybody to forgive to keep the forgiveness in your heart always.
I was taken care and receipted many help from Tibeten from this trip.
Their spirits and personalities should be also listed into the UN world heristage.

I will not say "Free Tibet" or "Save Tiber," since they are always having different life to Chinese.
The military and political benefits should be much beyond than respect and comprimise.

India - 我想要回家

有鑒於法國室友將自己的意見留在facebook上
引起印度人的群體撻伐
我決定這篇文章還是以中文來表示了...

我真的很想要回家
對
回家要當兵了
但我真的可以說是迫不及待要去唱從軍樂了
看到同學朋友們一個個出獄
然後要開始找工作
我竟然還在這邊準備期中考
這真的讓我再次懷疑自己做這些決定在幹嘛
還欠政府這一年債
還是趕緊還掉的好
不過現在大概已經快要一個半月了
還剩一半
繼續撐下去吧
老話一句
我好想回家....

不是說印度不好
問題是出在於它太特別
我遠低估它的不一樣程度
也高估我自己調適心情的能力
到目前為止
印度跟我到過的每一個地方都超級不一樣
(但可能因為我沒有在埃及生活只有觀光~ 不然有可能和印度差不多吧)
人們有自己的思考方法
做事也存在濃濃的印度風格
食物方面也是咖哩咖哩 然後咖哩
這些事情一但重複發生
真的讓我心情到達谷底呀...

但也許只要我有機會出去旅遊
一切都會不一樣吧?!
我這也沒把握
想起七月初那十來天的旅行
時時刻刻要準備好擺臭臉殺價的心情
本來在生氣的
但後來發現有些印度人心腸好的不像話
極力想要幫助我之類的
除了心非常暖和之外~
也開始自責自己怎麼會有那些evil的想法
想印度人的不好處
天天就處在這種極度起伏的心情上
有時候會覺得自己有點要崩潰的感覺

妹尾河童在他的印度遊記裡提到
來過印度的人
不是超恨 就是超愛
我得說這敘述並不完全正確
就我目前來說
我不知道我還會不會再來
有很多讓我再來的理由
當然
讓我心生怯意的理由也是不少

不過也許是因為下週要期中考
讓我的心情一直不太好
我個人真的超討厭考試的...
再多報告也沒關係
但就是不想要考試呀...
這學期我偷懶只修了兩門課
但其實這邊的loading並不輕
所以念起來
時間也差不多排滿的
很奇妙的
印度學生都修六門課
他們都能handle勒~
我後來仔細觀察發現~
只要不是他們要報告的case study 或是其他materials
他們就不會去接觸
那你會問
隔天上課要如何討論呢?
善辯的印度人總是可以用三寸不爛之舌
有時不停打斷老師
有時高談闊論
但是完全跟討論主題沒有關係...
所以這樣~ 就瞞混過去了
不得不說
這就是典型的印度風格呀~

這邊國際事務處的老師
跟我們還有法國學生說~
我們可以準備上些語言與文化課程
介紹French還有Mandarin
我們都當真了
還認真準備了syllabus還有第一堂課的ppt
然後寄給這位老師
沒想到~
前幾天我們在學校看到了很多語言學習的海報
想要鼓勵學生參加之類的~
天真的我們以為這位老師沒回應我們email
是因為默許接下來的課程進行
甚至還幫我們做宣傳
但當我們看到Spanish還有German時
我們嗅到了一絲不尋常的味道
於是我們再次前往這位老師辦公室
(之前 我已經寄給她兩次email還到她辦公室找她3次~ 但都找不到人)
老師在耶~~~~
聽了我們所說的之後
她打電話去國際事務處
臭罵那邊打工的學生一頓
然後跟我們說
放心啦~ 我們在跟授課的老師討論
看我們什麼時候可以稍微介紹自己的文化等等
等一下!
怎麼會變成這樣呢?
這時候呢~~~
我們就只能一笑置之
印度人的思緒永遠猜不透
因為他們愛面子
在你詢問問題時
總是把答案說的很美
我們就會掉進愛麗絲的夢裡
努力在夢裡做我們認知的事
但是這裡是印度呀
愛麗絲聽不懂Hinglish的
於是
一瞬間
一些跟你想像完全不一樣的結果就這樣出現了
你只是一個過客
就接受它吧...

下週二就要考試了
我還沒拿到課本
法國人更慘
今天他們有科考試
但課本根本連個影都沒有 XD
我們已經去催了n次了
這裡是印度呀~
你能怎辦?
接受吧~

你在自己房間上廁所
有時沒注意要鎖門
來打掃房間的印度職員
就是會這樣直接進入你房間
然後打開廁所門
也沒多說啥
就把門關上
繼續先忙外面
好像這回事沒有發生過
這時候你會懷疑自己
這些事到底有沒有發生過

當你坐Auto Rikshaw(電動三輪車)的時候
可愛的錫克教司機
因為我們對於他文化的興趣
非常樂意的和我們介紹
甚至教我們如何說他們祈神的語言
我們也超嗨的用這學到的語言
跟路邊的錫克教徒打招呼
司機接著學了國語的"我愛你"
然後不斷的複頌 怕自己忘記
還有跟我說他超愛台灣的
所有台灣人都是他的好朋友
這時候我好愛印度唷
他們真的很真 很可愛

一轉眼
目的地到了
overcharge的戲碼又上演
他的理由是他自己快樂
我們也該快樂
並露出那一附理所當然的樣子.....
這時我又開始想了
剛剛跟我稱兄道弟的事情
是到底有沒有發生呢?

這是一場夢嗎?
我在印度嗎?
是的
我又聞到咖哩味了
肚子也開始翻攪了
是的
我在印度
而且
我想要回家

India - People

Before I came to India, I have to be honestly....
I worried about I will meet many mean people here....
Although I have chatted with some firend who have already been here, I sitll can't make myself calm down for 100%.
The main reason is that I met too many gready Egypisian last time.
They tried to avoid violating the Koran which ruled they can't rab, steal, kill, and drink alcohol.
As a result, some of them cheat as much as you can imagine....
Well~ I met this kind of things here too.
But freindly Indian will not force you or even threat that they will kill you. (except Jaipur)
I would like to share those cute people I met in my journey.
They are just 1% nice Indian I met~
I am lucky to leave their photos~
They maybe just show the true self, but I have touched into my deap heart...
Won't forget~

Those kids were really ineresting why there will be some stupid foreigner trying to climb the mountain in the noon.
Yes, kids! That is what tourists do!
The cool kid with glasses even followed us to the temple and surprise us!
I can't forget those innocent eyes and smiles.

As I arrived Udaipur, I spent all of my saving-life-money-in-my-packet to buy two paintings.
Those paintings are really special!
I remembered I read a Turkisch writer's book, My name is RED.
The book described many stories happening in Otuman Empire.
The mean detailed painting painter try to intrigue against each other.
Anyway~ I love those paintings~
The painter is the middle one.
Guess how old is he?
ONLY 43.....
He invited Rachel and me to have a dinner with his family.
(of course his wife and daughter will not eat together... Indian traditions)
They also showed us many photos or even traditional clothes....
We had a fantastic night~
Can't believe how can the distance between people be able to be so close!
I promised him to find some business chance in Taiwan in the future~
I will try~ can't stand wasting a genius!

Indian national sport should be "cricket."
No matter what kind of sticks (official or just a branch), they can play and enjoy in it very much!!!
I also invited to play few times~
It is so complex for me~
Even I spent time reading on internet about those rules.
Still.... not my game~
But I'm still happy that I try la at least!

This is another game in India.
It is similar to billard!
But you need to use your hand to shot the piece to hit others to fall into the holes in the corner!
I just walked into a bookstore~
Then, I also tried one game!
I have talent~ should be~ although I lost!
But how nice the people can be in India!

Tea in India can be seen as milk tea in other countries.
They drank tea with milk for sure~
If I need to pick up my favorite food in India, TEA will be the one!
One morning, I was so hungry but can't find any food with fried ones.
I drank three cups of tea to be instead.
I tea shop owner was really impressed I like it so much~
He also tried to chat with me~
In the end, I asked him to let me hold those funny tea pots and take a photo with him!
Ha~ I look like a little bit stupid!

I will keep opening my mind and meeting more friendly Indians!

India - Shiva's gifts

Shiva's gifts

They are all sweets~

Every temple in India, should be free for everybody!
When you go inside, you should ring the bell first, and you also do it when you finish the pray ceremony.
It depends on differnt Gods in the temple, and there will be different decoration of the temples.
Anyway~ we tried to climb up to the Fort.
We met many cute kids and few beggers (children too...).
And we just escape into the temple to pray to avoid the hassling of those beggers.

I am ready to climb la!!!

The story starts~
I got the three gifts from the Brahman (Hindu monk) after the praying.
I have to say in some way~ they save my life for three times!
When that moment, I just found out I have not yet eaten anything for more than 12 hours.
I am starving!
So one of the gift save me before I fainted..... XD

On the way to the top!
We met a group of hungry dogs!
They are barking on us aggressively!
I just throw another gift to them!
Amazingly!
They become peace and start to swing their tail.....
Shiva saves me again!

Beautiful Jodhpur fort!

On the way down of the hill, I met a begger again~
He just urinates and want to touch me!
Or I don't want what he want to do~
I am not willing to be unfriendly to him!
So I give him the last gift~
He is quite satisfying and leave~

Shiva saves me three times!

India - Rajasthan

檢視較大的地圖

I just visited the state called Rajasthan!
It is in the west part of India.
But there are so many small countries for centories.
It conducted so many different culture and history there~
I am so lucky to have a chance to see them all!

India - Delhi TRIP

This funny/stupid vedio shows the places we visit.
Well~ It is harder than I think to visit Delhi.
We have to ask a taxi to be ours for one day~
When the driver from Ghaziabad took us to Delhi, he will always need to ask for direction.
At the same time, he can't speak English~
In sum, I sitll think Indain are much much much more friendly than Egypian.
At least, they will not blame or curse you when you refuse their crazy price.

Delhi is only a city near capital in the Mumhul's periods (aroun 16th 17th centory).
The capital of that period is in Agra which is also famous by Taj Mahal.
I can't imagine how incredible or amazing it will be.

Ha! Ha!
And we just decide to have a ten days trip~
We plan to vist RAJASTHAN (state name).
Famous cities, e.g. Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Jaiselmer.
I sent my video to one Indian student from International office.
He forwards it for so many people....
Last few days, there are some students come to us and say they saw our video~
Although there are some negative message under the video, I will still keep going making it~
It is quite happy when I watched it eevn until 15 times.
Ha~
Good luck for my trip~ >"
Feel so exciting ah...
The first bus will take us 16 hours~ without A/C
Mm~ be alive!

India - PDP

What is PDP?
PDP is the personality Development project.

I guess nobody knows what is that~
I have to explain from the beginning....

Fresh men are coming.... :P

This week, 420 new Junior students come to IMT.

They will start their two years life here.
Those fresh men experience many challenges to be here~ just like Taiwanese graduate school students.
Around 0.3 Mllion student participate a national exam, and the TOP 5000 will get a chance to have an interview of IMT (or other TOP 10 Graduate school).
After series interview and even some group projects, the lucky 420 students will join IMT.
Of course, IMT prepare many things for them.
Those juniors will have one week orientation.
It starts from 9am to 11pm everyday.
There will be endless speeches and activities for them.
Yes, most of the activities we played before when we were high school students.
But look here!!!
Most of them are over 24, and some of them even have more than 3 years working experience.
How impressive, isn't it?
You may say it's ok~ coz there will be no sick seniors trying to play tricks on them~
YOU ARE WRONG!

Seniors started from weeks before to prepare something for juniors.
Few years before, there will many juniors suicide during this special week.
How about IMT?
Since the government realease the rule that nobody can do physical torture on other students in school, those smart seniors try to use mental way.....
That is the meaning of 'personality of development project.'

How will it paly?

Senior A (Sa): Hey, you! come on here!
Junior (J): Yes, sir!
Sa: Why do you be so impolite!
J: Sorry Sir! Good Evening, Sir!
Sa: Introduce yourself!
J: ............
Sa: What? Say louderly!
J: ............ (louder)
Senior B (Sb): waht are you guys doing?
Sa: Damn it! Are you stupid! I told you to be polite!
J: Sorry Sir, Good evening, Sir! (for Sb)
Sb: Introduce yourself!
J: ...........
Sa: Did you get my permission to answer others' question?
J: Sorry, Sir.....

And this kind of conversation will keep going for a while~
If you are a pretty girl.... watch out!
You will be asking to do something like that for many times~
And Indian universairy/graduate school have a really huge unfair ratio of male and female~
It is around 1/10 ~ 1/7.

One of my friend got some appologize letter from the juniors.
But he said to me, he is expecting to collect 10 but 2.
Well~ it seems most of juniors know that they are not that weak somehow~
Ha!
But... I feel a little bit too over sometimes~
Coz this kind of PDP will start from 11pm to 5am.
Those juniors will be asked to join YOGA class from 5 am to 7am.
Then~ maybe will be their sleeoing time~
Can't believe it ba!
This kind of life will keep going for one week~
After that, everybody will have a big party~
Then~ everybody becomes friends again~ (told by seniors)
Ha~ I will keep observing it~
By the way~ I will try to wake up to join the YOGA class tmr morning~
It seems to be too early for me~
Ha~
But it is too interesting la!

Poor juniors~
:P

India~ I am crazy about the food here!

That's right!
In IMT, students will have four meals per day!
They are Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner~
Since I know we have a Mess (student restaurant) searving food for students, I never missed one meal XD
Yes~ I am kindly addicted on the Indian food.
Generally speaking, it is more salty and spicy than healthy Taiwanese food.
I think when I go back to Taiwan, every meal for me will be no smell at all la....
I just try to note some really special meals here~
Of course there are much more than I wrote~ I got time to think how I can describe it more specific and delicious~
Ha! Ha!

The fire stove is called "Tandoor."

The traditional Indian bread called "Rati."

If you use Tandoor to bake the Rati, the food will be called Tandoori Rati - तंदूरी रोटी.

Oh my goodness la~ so delicious.....

It is a little bit like the springonion pan cake (蔥油餅) in Taiwan.

Well~ I have to say it is much better!

You can eat it comapring with the flavor of coal and wood.

When you chew it, the bread smell will be full of your mouth.

Everything is just so harmonious to mix....

I planed to take it a picture...

But the super delicious food let me forget everything...

I will try to get one in the future!

Sweet milk + fried vegetarian meal ball ?!

I really like the snack time here mostly.

You can try many light but still amazing food.

It is a juice shop~

On the way back from the cell phone shop, we bought Varum and Nikin a drink.

The mix juice is also tasty~ (20 Rb.)

They put fig (無花果) in the juice to make the color between red and pink.

Fig is quite rare in Taiwan~

I think I will try to get more anyway~

But Indians told me it is better to ask them do not put any water or ice in the drink.

Just for your own good!

In sum, the food in Taiwan is for sure much tasty than here~

I believe the weather and the best agriculture skill in the world conducting this result.

But I still really admire the cheap but good quality juice here!

It is the Cafe on campus.

You can get hot coffee, cold ice tea, and something else here~

Guess what!

It is operated for 24 hours per day....

Coz Indian students really like to study so late... (they told me normally is around 5 am)

It can also explain the crazy opening hour of library too.

A corner of the campus

I started my first class yesterday.

Classmates are so friendly and enthusiatic.

They shared with us many interesting things happening in the Indian universities.

I will try my best getting more information about it :P

It sounds Taiwanese university life is not exactly crazier than here!!
