Since I got my internet connected in my room today, I think I'll celebrate by saying a few things and posting some pictures! 

This is my dorm. Just to the right of me is the cafeteria where after one time there they already know I am a vegetarian and they enjoy inventing dishes for me, since most things have meat in them.

Some Campus shots:

The very cool forest on campus, it's quite spooky at night

This picture can hardly capture it, but this road stretches very far down a hill and has huge, beautiful trees lining it the whole way down

This is the university's famous Luce Memorial Chapel

I was supposed to play tennis on Friday night with Ginna, a friend of mine who was an exchange student last year at NCC and is back at Tunghai now, but the early typhoon winds didn't allow it. So before I was back in bed for the night, the guys in the room next to me invited me to come hang out and drink Taiwan beer! The Taiwanese are quite proud of their home brew, and I'm pretty sure it'll be my drink of choice while I'm here. Not quite as cheap as the Chinese Tsingtao in Beijing ($0.25?) but tastes pretty good :)

I couldn't believe the weather the US has been getting lately. Ike has been something else. Luckily, Typhoon Sinlaku didn't hit our campus very hard, not to say nothing bad happened.

The storm managed to flip these guys on their backs, but they have since been revived. Also, the window in a door down the hall shattered because of the typhoon

Sorry no pictures of me. (Mitzi!) I'll get to working on that this weekend when I visit some sights.
