Day 4: First day of class

Today marked our first real day of class. We found ourselves up and at 'em nice and early at about 7am in order to be able to order food and still make it in time for our 9am class. We tried another breakfast place without a translator so our breakfast was random ...again.


The first lecture was interesting. We learned about business models and at the end of class, were encouraged to create a business model for either an existing business or an entirely new one. It was mildly entertaining to say the least. After that, we were dismissed for lunch and it was up to us to decide where we wanted to go. Our group settled for a nice warm bowl of gyudon before heading back to the lab to begin working on our projects. It took awhile for most groups to get started due to the language barrier and just general confusion about the project as a whole but then again, isn't getting started always the hardest part? At least now we had some sort of idea what would be going on these next couple of weeks.

With the day done we once again found ourselves at the night market. Today we got to try a couple more of Taiwan's famous foods and drinks, including xiao long bao, cane sugar drink, egg puffs, and wheel cake. Still just as cheap and delicious as the first couple of nights. I'm drawing blanks here as to what we did after that but I'm just going to assume we called it a night pretty early as we had a field trip early the next morning.
