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

Staying with another family
媽媽 went to Thailand for the week so I am staying with family friends. I was lowkey worried about staying with people I didn't know or know much about, but it went really well. They have two sons; Jeff, who's in my grade, and Ivan, who went to Germany last year. They were both very nice and brotherly. Jeff was a little shy and didn't talk much. The really nice thing about this family having sons is that there was a lot more food around. We ate fruit and tea before bed, there was a stash of potato chips and such by the TV, and Ama made big tasty meals. Because Jeff and I go to the same school (he's in David's class) we rode the bus to school together. Jeff's friend, Andy, also rode the bus. The three of us would stop to get breakfast and then head to school. Jeff had cram school in the afternoons so I got to know Ivan just as well as Jeff. I think it went very well and was a good experience.😊
