Today is the first day of class. Yep, classes have begun. In other words, it's the end of winter vacation.

I had my first and only class today at 4 in the afternoon, and we had this chance to meet the new coming students that were admitted to the Spring semester. To my surprise, 3 out of 5 are from Taiwan. 3 people! Oh, man, that's a lot! And that made our Taiwanese group grew even bigger than ever. When they were doing the self-introduction, I suddenly had this feeling of going back to Taiwan. Maybe I just wanted to reduce the number of Taiwanese, so I somehow started from myself. Think about this, you've paid a great fortune, and you've traveled 24 hours, almost a day, all the way across the globe to another different country that speaks different kind of language and has different kind of culture other than yours. You want yourself to be exposed to the culture, and looking forward to experiencing their lives. However, it turned out that there is a large percentage of people who came from the place exactly as yours. It's not that I'm not welcoming them to come or I dislike my fellow countrymen, it's just that I was expecting to have something different here. I didn't choose a really extraordinary famous or outstanding university, so I'm wondering why did we all ended up to study here?
