Thoughts of a Canadian Exchange Student

NTU’s Club’s Day

Posted in Bicycle, Clubs, Home, NTU, Observations, University by leafgirl04 on September 14, 2007

I had no idea so many people could fit into such a seemingly small space.

Here I was on Friday morning at the NTU Sports Centre which by no means is small, but the sheer number of people crowded into the gym sure made it seem so. Here at NTU, people seem so much more into their extracurricular activities than people do at home, probably because this is a surefire way to make friends as NTU students are the best test taking students pulled from schools across Taiwan.

But wow! There were a lot of clubs, everything was in Chinese, but there was a lot of energy. You could feel it in the fact that in the aisles between the booths you could barely move. It took my friend and I about 15 minutes to get from one end of an aisle to another in what would normally only take less than a minute to traverse the same distance.

Also, there were even clubs that were outside the Sports Centre. There were clubs that ranged from martial arts (so many!) to photography to helping out the aboriginal peoples that live in Taiwan. As long as you find your club, you’ll have a niche. Unfortunately, there wasn’t an Ultimate club. Boo.

However, since I have so much love for my bike, I think I’ll join the Cycling club. We’ll see, though.
