28F Taiwanese, just started my PhD in the UK, AMA

Hi all! As the title says, I’m a Taiwanese girl who just moved to the UK for my PhD.
I’ve studied abroad before (though not in an English-speaking country), but this is my first time living so far away from my hometown. Sometimes I feel a bit confused and even wonder whether this was the right decision, some people say 28 is “too old” to start a PhD, but honestly, I don’t think so. I’m here now, settling in, and so far I’m really enjoying the new life here, even though I’m still getting used to everything.

Anyway, feel free to ask me anything, even the stereotype!
