My nursing course in Taiwan has officially ended. It has
been four weeks and the thought of leaving has been bittersweet. There is so
much I have learned over the last four weeks and so much that I am going to
miss. For starters, I'm going to miss
 |
| Chelsea butterscotch ice cream bars from 7-11 |
 |
| How they warn you of a construction zone |
 |
| Dragons everywhere |
 |
| Families I have come to love |
 |
| The hospital patients that roam freely outside the hospital. Fresh air must be in all of their medical orders. |
 |
| Uncle Thomas, as we call him, our security guard at our dorms |
 |
| New friends |
 |
| The only sunflower I was able to find on this entire island. It's still beautiful if you ask me. |
 |
| Random late night hair cuts (I had never cut anyone's hair prior to this moment). Good times. |
 |
| Jim, my instructor |
 |
| Families and their caregivers |
 |
| Trying food I never knew existed |
 |
| Hospital cafeteria lunches |
 |
| Carting our luggage around for all of our weekend trips and adventures |
 |
| Crazy mopeds |
 |
| Humble circumstances (this is a family's sink) |
 |
| Nursing |
On the flip side, I do not anticipate missing
 | |
| The smells (this is a staple in all 7-11's- I never tried it and I never will) |
 |
| And even the glorified squatters I am looking forward to leaving behind |
Taiwan has been more than I imagined and I hope to one day come back and visit. The adventure does not stop here though. Next up... nine days in China!
Wow Chels! I can't believe it's already the end of your time in Taiwan! I'm sure you are very sad about leaving. It looks like you have done and learned a lot! I'm glad to have heard so much about your time there and that you've been having such a great time. Hope you have as much of a good time in China these next days as you've had in Taiwan! Love & miss ya!
