Fond memories of the time at MCU
From California State University – Long Beach, U.S.A /by Donald Caton
Taiwan has been an eye opening experience for me. I had always thought that I would have to travel the world to make friends and to learn the cultures from many different countries. Ming Chuan has provided a positive place in a beautiful location for students from many different countries to come together and share their countries cultures with each other. I had come to Taiwan to learn Mandarin and to experience the cultures that Taiwan had to offer. My experience here at Ming Chuan, Taoyuan has been more than I expected. Within the first month of school I had met and made friends with people from over thirty-five countries! I never thought that I would met so many different nationalities during my lifetime.
While there are a lot of students from around the world, there are even more local students from all over Taiwan. Between my Taiwanese friends and the club activities that I participate in, I have been traveling and learning much about the beautiful landscape and cultures throughout Taiwan.
A look back from the future will surely provide me with many fond memories of the time that I studied at Ming Chuan University. I feel that I have made lasting friendships that I can take with me once I leave Taiwan. I will truly miss this exciting and beautiful place.
