About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Generally, help people, help lives, help the environment, make the world a better place.

ABOUT ME
I enjoy experience various different things. love boxing, muay thai, hiking, scuba diving, snowboard and cycling a lot!! generally speaking, i love outdoor activities.

Location:
My flat is in Taoyuan city, Gueshan district, by the boarder of New Taipei city and Taoyuan. In between the MRT station A8 and A9. Near Linkou Chang Gung Memorial hospital. It’s 10~15mins walk to the MRT station A8 (Linkou Chang Gang Memorial Hospital), additional 20 mins to Taipei by MRT from there (the express one, cost 80 NTD). It will take 20~ 40 mins with bus which you can catch from the stop just around the corner (up to your destination and traffic, cost 30~40NTD)
It's pretty easy to get to the Taoyuan international airport from my flat as well. One cheap and fast option is the MRT during it's operation hours, about 15 mins by the expression one. Otherwise, taxi cost NT600 and takes 15~20 mins. We do have bus going to the airport but I don't recommend it, not efficient and unpredictable.

You'll have a queen size bed to sleep on, a whole independent room. but a shared bathroom for all of us.
