Delivering a speech in front of students, who graduated or are about to graduate in the near future is an honour for everyone. You, as a single individuum, get the chance to influence the worldview of so many with your speech on this special day, as I got influenced by the speech given during my Bachelor’s graduation ceremony. I wanted to reach out to the … Continue reading An Untold Graduation Speech
Like every year the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology hosted a special event, where foreign students can introduce their country, culture and art performance to other (mostly Taiwanese) students. So I tried my best to bring a little Austria to Taiwan – in traditional leather trousers (Lederhose) of course! Griaß di, Austria At the festival, students had to decorate a booth and cook … Continue reading Cultural Festival – Griaß di, Austria
I’ve finished it! Besides the acknowledgement I will write after the defence I’ve completed 125 pages of academic paper, exceeding my Bachelor’s thesis with over 75 pages.

That’s why the three last parts are dedicated to my study, courses and master thesis instead of fried rice and coffee – although I need a lot of coffee when … Continue reading STUST III.A – Courses First Semester
I really love the STUST campus, but there is one thing the bothers me a bit. Such as the JKU, it is far away from city centre or anything interesting. I envied the campus of the National Cheng Kung University a bit, which is located in the heart of Tainan. Three big shopping malls, the main train station und thousands of streets with food and … Continue reading STUST II – The Surroundings
Since my arrival in Tainan, the campus of the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology has been full of surprises for me.

The only crowded place are the Mensa during lunch time and Thursday nights, when another party took place in the basement, and the Kepler building when … Continue reading STUST I – The Campus
