April 17, 2009, 05:49 AM posted in General DiscussionHi Taiwan poddies! How about a meetup in Taipei? I will be visiting family at the end of April though the first week of May. I know Calkins is in Taipei. Who else? It'd be fun! 我们大家去吃反把！

April 26, 2009, 05:59 AMhmmm...i wonder if we should take a short jaunt to Japan while on that side of the world? but, so many places to go, so little time...哎呀太少时间啊！

我也想去臺灣，可惜沒辦法去了，現在在上海。
How much will it cost to visit TaiWan？
TaiWan is a part of China,i think there should not be any barrier that prevent people of mainland to pay a visit to Taiwan.

April 17, 2009, 11:14 AMskyfx, there's no barrier my 大陸 friend. There are daily direct flights from 上海 to 台北。
Come on over and join the party!

唉喲！ :) Calkins-先生，Where in Taipei do you stay?
azerdocmom
April 17, 2009, 02:43 PM太好了！There's some interest shown here! 大家都来台北臺灣吧！ Calkins, 谢谢你。你的中文進步了好多阿！

April 17, 2009, 03:22 PMHey hitokiri, you're in the Philippines right? Not too far from Taiwan:) I live in 内湖区 Nèihú qū, a district on the east side of Taipei.
Let's get as many poddies to Taipei as we can, so we can welcome azerdocmom and family back to Taiwan. World travelers are welcomed to crash in my spacious 10 ping (350 s.f.) apartment...haha.
Alice, 哪里哪里。。。我中文讲得不太好！

April 17, 2009, 03:38 PMyup. :) Still in the Philippines. :) 但我打算在台北上大學. I'm graduating 高中 next year!
calkins
April 17, 2009, 03:49 PMThat's awesome! Which university are you planning on attending? 師大 perhaps? I'll be starting night classes there in June.
Regardless, we'll definitely have to connect once you're here.
azerdocmom
April 17, 2009, 03:51 PMhitokiri, 真的嗎？你会去台北上大澩？Really? You're going to Taipei for college! Nice!
calkins
April 17, 2009, 10:48 AMAlice, definitely count me in! C'mon Taiwan poddies, let's get a group together and have some fun with azerdocmom.
chinlern, I think she knows...她是台湾出生的美国人 :) She's just being her typical nice self by writing in simplified, since the majority of poddies study/read simplified.

April 20, 2009, 02:49 PMHi Skyfx,
Let me help you out a little. It looks like you can go over for the meet-up while I'm there for just $606 via Air China ; )

April 20, 2009, 03:12 PMHey Calkins! I'll probably consider 國立臺灣大學 because of their world(?)-renowned Mandarin course.
If ever I study there, we'll definitely have to meet! 我們一起非見面不可囉！

April 20, 2009, 05:18 PMHow about a meet-up the first weekend of May in Taipei? 一定好玩阿！
azerdocmom
April 25, 2009, 08:09 AMOK. Here's one more try at getting a meet-up together in Taipei next weekend. Taipei 101 anyone?

April 25, 2009, 08:52 AMi would run down there fm japan, but am working next weekend. you guys have fun!
azerdocmom

is it easy to "run down there from Japan" ?
i wonder how many poddies there are in Japan.
it sure doesn't seem like many in Taiwan by the lackluster response to a suggested meet-up...
zhenlijiang
April 26, 2009, 04:52 AMazerdocmom, i've also always wondered how many of us are here. a dozen or so? i suspect many are more ... reticent than one like myself.
it's cheaper to find a 3-4 day package fm here than the plane ticket you found for SH-TP (prices are highest now for us, we're in 黄金周). TW's enormously popular as a long weekend destination here esp among women, along with seoul. i would do it.
which reminds me, i miss hearing from korean poddies! or maybe i just don't know that someone is korean.
are you there--?

April 18, 2009, 04:51 AMHey azerdocmom! 我還不定。 Since I'm planning to take Chinese Studies/Mandarin Studies/Cantonese Studies (any of the 3), I'd be considering 台灣、香港、韓國, and here in the Philippines. I've heard of good universities in those places which has a Mandarin/Cantonese curriculum, I still have to check the requirements/prerequisites for each university...wish me luck! I'd be happy to study in TW or in HK (hometown!)!

April 17, 2009, 07:01 AM你應該寫:
"我們大家去吃飯吧 ！"
在臺灣大家用繁體字...
