Got E - Tickets, Host Details and Tentative Schedule !
More 24 days left and today afternoon I was relaxed to see that finally I got my E-Ticket, the host family details and more interestingly a tentative schedule.
My host name is Pao - Hsi Hsu, and lives at Keelung County. The mail from the organizers define keelung as "a major port city situated in the northeastern part of Taiwan that there are approximately 385,000 people living in this area. It is nicknamed the Rainy Port for its frequent rain. Since its abundant marine resources, Keelung is known for its splendid scenic spots along the coastal line and fresh seafood. Therefore, enjoy your days with a variety of snacks and breathtaking scenery! ". Wow isn't exciting ?
The flight to Taiwan is by Malaysian Airlines via Kaula Lampur ! Departure is on 11 August, 2011 at 00:25 hours and arrival on 25 August 23:55 Hours. However I might extend my return ticket with some more time for transit at Kaula Lumpur airport.
The tentitive schedule for the Taiwan trip is as following
