What I've been most surprise of Taiwanese people is that they plan their lives, when you innocently ask them: "what do you want to do in the future?"
And they tell you every single minute since that moment until they die.
I'm not able to do that.
I just can't get used to the idea that I have a path, and I can't go out of that path.
I need a direction, that's al I need. A goal.
I know what I want in live, but I don't know what will happen in the way.
Like how could I ever imagined that I would be here in Taiwan?
2 years ago I was in Italy saying: "non so, io non penso di andarci mai in Asia."
Which means: "I don't know, I don't think I'll ever go to Asia."
And yeah, let go a little bit recent so you can get my point better...
7 months ago I was graduating from high school surprisely sure about which university I wanted to go and what I wanted to study, and just then, I know that 2 months after that, I would be in the other side of the world.
And I thought: "I've done this before, it's gonna be easy, one year, it'll be finished, and I'll speak Chinese."
I was wrong.
Today, 6 months ago, I was in the Eva Air aircraft, and I must confess I didn't imagine it would have been so challenging.
Don't get me wrong, I don't regret it, it's an useful language, important, but so difficult to learn, take you a lot of time and effort, and the scorlarship I'm in doesn't help.
I do love Taiwan, it's an awesome country, the people is totally awesome, I love my Taiwanese friends and well, the food, yeah we can not talk about that now.
But seriously I feel I am in the right place, in the right time, but in the wrong situation.
Today was a bad day, and yeah, like everyday, it will pass.
I don't know where I'm gonna end up after this, but I'm sure, I'm a step closer to it, and that's enough for me.
