Because they chose to come to Taiwan early enough to learn Chinese before their studies at CPU, they made many friends and grew to love Taiwanese culture. The energetic pair often traveled around Taiwan in their spare time. They adopted Taiwanese living and enthusiastically participated in local activities. Héctor Alfonso would often shoot videos to introduce the culture of Taiwan and other countries via social media.
During their graduate studies, they got along well with their classmates. Héctor Alfonso learned how to brew coffee by hand and often practiced with members of the coffee club. Interacting with Taiwanese students at school added a richness to their lives as students. Before graduation, they had a special lunch and exchanged souvenirs with CPU students.

On June 23, the two donated a set of Paraguayan police uniforms to the CPU museum as a thank-you to the school. CPU President Chen Che-wen especially invited the graduates to discuss their lives as students and their career plans upon returning home. He encouraged them to serve their communities enthusiastically as police officers, to apply what they had learned - and to cooperate with Taiwan in international law enforcement!

Taiwan's embassy in Paraguay especially congratulated the two on Twitter upon their return, praising this beautiful education exchange between the two countries.
