So, after a long but very fun 5 day tour all around Taiwan, we made it back to Sansia. We stayed one day, then Lily, Daniel Spencer, and I were off on a plane again. This time, it was back home.
Somehow, we booked a flight with an 11 hour layover in Hong Kong. It was not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but there was some confusion. We arrived at Hong Kong airport at night, then proceeded to try to find the Delta desk so that we could get our boarding passes for the remaining flights. To do this, we had to go through HK customs to get to the airline desks. Here came the flaw in the plan: the Delta desk did not open until 5 am the next morning. Therefore, we spent the night watching movies and sleeping on chairs. Finally, we got our boarding passes and made it to our gate with plenty of time.
After 14 hours in the sky watching 4 movies and semi-sleeping, we made it back to the States! I was so very excited to be back home. It was nice to see my parents, but sad because I had to leave the very next day to move into my dorm. So right now, I am blogging to you all from my university!
My summer in Taiwan is really something I cannot forget. I met so many people, saw so many things, and went so many places. It is a beautiful country with wonderful people. I am so grateful to all our TA's, teachers, and coordinators. Hopefully, one day I can return. 再见，台湾！
