「阿里跌倒,你怎麼會想來澳洲旅遊?」
.「我在義大利工作了三年,存了一點錢,就想要出國走走,澳洲是我的第一站,我已經玩了四個月了!」
「玩了四個月,你都不需要工作賺錢嗎??」
.「我也會偶爾打打零工,不過這一趟就是要把存的錢都花完!」
「都花完?那回國怎麼辦!」
.「回國再說囉?那個西班牙女孩也是這樣啊,大學畢業後工作兩年就出來了,她接下來還要到泰國,柬埔寨及越南哩!」


People in the western countries live in the presence, they don't think too much about the future. My ex-colleague Tomasz, also spent half years traveling around many places by his savings before he was an employee in ZyXEL.

For me, I am conservative; using out all my money for tour is impossible. Social welfare is bad in Taiwan, I can only rely on the savings.

Refer to the foreigners, really appreciate to the colleagues in the department of TW in ZyXEL - Tomasz and Brent, they gave me the chance to practice English and be not afraid of talking to foreigners even if my English is not good at all.
