Arrival
31 hours later and I had finally arrived at Kaohsiung airport. First note of advice, because there are no direct flights to Kaohsiung from New York, do yourself a favor and just fly direct to Taipei and take the HSR (high speed rail) for 2-3 hours down to Kaohsiung, it will save your sanity! I was exhausted and starving! But I had to find my way to my apartment which my roommates (also Hunter students studying with me) were at. I took the MRT for 45 minutes and walked 15 mins and finally was able to settle down in our home for the next 3 months. Our first order of business though was to get food, because eating a full day worth of plane food was not ideal! So we headed to our first night market luckily a couple blocks from our place and enjoyed a great first meal!
