After staying and experiencing a life changing moment in the Formosa island for 40 days, finally I had to say Goodbye to the people meant a lot to me in Taiwan. On my last day in Taiwan, I was very excited to go back home, I missed my family and my darling dog. I went to the Taoyuan Airport with Jovian early in the morning and changed 4 transportation, bus > MRT > HSR > taxi, just for the sake of experiencing the High Speed Rail, instead of taking the Guoguang bus straight to the airport, the far more cheaper and convenient way. After Jovian left at about 9am, I stayed in the airport alone for about 6 hours until 3pm for my flight. I was terribly bored at the airport, could not connect to the internet, so I viewed the thousands of photos taken by Jovian and Arkka to pass my time.
The photos reminded me of everything in Taiwan. Great times always fly exceptionally fast. I miss the place and the people I met in Taiwan. I want to give Madam Liu a big hug and say "Thank You" again. She is a very inspiring lady, already 70 years old but still has a 26-year-old heart. I am very grateful and feel very lucky to participate in this project organized by Taiwan Life Welfare and Environment Quality Association 社團法人中華民國動物福利環保協進會 led by Madam Liu. She is a far-sighted woman, she ran this project to plant the seeds in us, hoping that we can disperse the seeds of knowledge when we go back to our home country, spreading the words of love for animals and all living things. She told us not to underestimate our capability, start influencing our circle of friends, people around us, we can make an enormous change to the world. I really appreciate her care and generousity during our internship. She provided us good accommodation, delicious Taiwanese food, arranged courses delivered by professors from prestigious Taiwan univeristy and also courses at Taipei and Taichung animal shelter, and also National Chung-Hsing University of Veterinary Medicine. Besides that, Madam Liu also shared with us her life story and her perspective towards life. Being kind and show respect to the other living things and the environment is actually being kind to ourselves. Remember, the earth does not belong to human only.I will definitely go back to Taiwan again to explore places that I have not visited yet and of course to visit Madam Liu and her warm family, as well as my Taiwanese friends ^_^
Last but not least, thank you AIESEC for giving me the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful and meaningful project.
