NTU

I have been talking for weeks about NTU, NTNU. Ok, NTU stands for National Taiwan University. In Mandarin is something like Kuoli Taiwán Dashué, which is shortened to Taida. I think it is the largest university in Taiwan and, from what I've read, they have many campuses and lands, occupying a total of about 345 km².

The ASIAA is located in a building at the northernmost part of the main campus in Gongguan, which is the campus I walk through several days a week. The construction style around campus is mainly japanese, because it was founded during the japanese ruling, with isolated buildings, lots of plants, palm trees and flowers. There is not so much grass as in a typical american campus. As you can imagine, it is a very quiet place, if we do not take into account bycicles


It is divided by a wide avenue, lined with royal palm tress, which roughly cuts it through its half

and on which many bycicles, cars and small trucks go by quite relaxedly. It is a small tranquillity oasis in the middle of a busy city. There is a nice artificial lake near the building that hosts the ASIAA, where one can spend a while in quietness.

before going to the ASIAA


A new building is being finished next to it, where the ASIAA will move to if all goes according to plans. There are many sports fields nearby: baseball, tennis, basketball, football, athletics, and a big sports arena next to it.


The campus seemed confusing at first, but now, after walking so much in it, it is a very familiar landscape. And I have only seen the western half.
