Today we arrived at a ceramics studio in a neighboring district at about 9:30. My host family had told me that the exchange students and their families will be doing ceramics, what I didn't realize was that it was all the exchange students that live in Tapei. It turned out to be a lot of fun. We toured the building and learned about the studio's history. We made little clay designs to go on our piece (I made a Formosa Black Bear) We made our pieces on the wheels. We had Popa Johns Pizza that reminded me of home because it was pepperoni and Hawaiin as opposed to shrimp and cucumber. We played cards and ate cake and just talked. Afterward I kind of just explored the area around our apartment. I even bought peroxide by my self!

Read about my time as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student in Taiwan! Not sure what to expect, what to pack, what you'll be doing, how you will learn the language, or pretty much anything? I may not have all the answers, but I do have some. Read to find out how I prepared for exchange, my experiences in Taipei, (before my computer went kaput) and my reflections and advise having come back. I hope that it can be of help. Thanks for reading, Autumn 婉秋
