First Day In School

Woke up at 6.15am. I thought I was late to sch because the sky was already very bright, it was like 8am sky in Malaysia. Took my breakfast and bath.

Madam Teng, introduced me in front of the students. There are only 140+ students in this school. The students here would salute to their country flag. The students were so curious of me as some of them did not know where Malaysia is, so sad. Since it was the first day I just hung out in the staffroom ice breaking with the teachers. There were easy going and I met an Indon teacher. She spoke malay with me, felt a bit werid speaking malay in Taiwan haha.

Let me introduce their education system. For every 40 minutes lesson, they will have 10 minutes break. During lunch hour, they will break for 1 hour to allow students taking nap and having lunch. To my surprise, teachers would take nap too. The students' weight would be recorded and regulated by a nurse in the school. All students were required to have balanced diet. In addition, the nurse would inculcate healthy lifestyle concept through case studies. I found out that the students here are more proactive, many students will raise their hands to answer questions voiced out by teachers. However, there is a flaw in their education system, that is their sports lesson. Students would even have their sports lesson in the mid afternoon, like 1pm! The time for sports lesson are not fixed.

Students and teachers would take their lunch at sch. Unlike our country, they do not have canteen. Every school will order lunch for students and teachers. It is a balance diet, there are vege, meat, soup and fruits. Student eating lifestyle is regulated, in order to reduce health problems among Taiwanese. What a brilliant idea!

Went to 7 eleven to register a sim card. Taiwan 7 eleven is really convenient, there were laundry services, sim card registration as well as a dining corner for you to have your meal. They even supplied dinner package to our school. The sch provided me with this package. The dinner was nutritionally balanced too. I was eager to have more chicken meats, they were so tasy and yummy^^.

Nevertheless, I had to get used to separate rubbish before throwing them into the dustbin. I gave my chicken bone to the watch dog which accompanied the school guard. At first, it barked at me because I was a newcomer to this school. Soon, the dog started to accept my existence. Moreover, security of the students and teachers were well taken care of.
