Napier這個城鎮緊鄰Hasting，地圖上可以看到在紐西蘭Hawk Bay這個部分。
猶記得當初一月中我還尚在奧克蘭的草莓園工作時，在背包客棧上看到有人要去Hasting 找蘋果包裝的工作，我就跟著一起去了。

Guesthouse Koma in Osaka
Where I was staying for two nights in Osaka during winter season 2012.
Guesthouse Koma is a good choice for budget accommodation.
It's not a new building in Osaka ,quite narrow and small,near station and stores. (near family convenient store )
I was surprised by the staff ,he was so kind helping me lift the suitcase upstairs. The stairs are very long and steep .
When I stayed there ,there were full of Korean guests. I guess the reason is they had one Korean staff . The 10 people female dorm room I stayed were all Korean ,only me are from Taiwan.
They supply free wifi .Good

Ikebukuro, a pilgrimage for Fujoshi.
The City where the Kami stay ,Ise / 神所居住的城市，伊勢。
Farewell !Misa ,my hostlady in Shiga . I headed to Ise city.
It's where the Kami (Gods) home town .
Limestone coast area: Before the trip
I had no idea how to plan this trip. I am a city girl, I only know how to organise a trip in a big city. If it's in a big city, I know a lots of things to do. I love taking the photos of varied architectural styles.
Visiting historic building, going to museums, tasting local food, and shopping the souvenirs, I can alway find a activity to do in a busy city.
In fact, I don't know what I can do at the small town or even in the remote area.
Two weeks before Christmas holiday, we had almost finished our last session of IELI.
Anna told me that she wanted to go to Kangaroo Island. I also wanted to go to somewhere instead of staying at home for my whole vocation.
At beginning, it was only Anna and me, but After we told our friends about this trip, we suddenly have 6 people in our group. I did not have enough budget , so finding a adequate number of people

Trip to Okinawa
3rd 05 2015 ~15th 05 2015
I was taking the morning flight off Taoyuan to Naha LCC terminal , it's running smoothly to pass the Customs . It was cloudy and humidity , I struggled to figure out my pin number for cashing out some JPY while I don't have any currency when I was arrived . After nearly one hour trying at airport I gave up and used the machine got some JPY from the only RMB notes I had with me . Then I got on the mono-rail to CBD where I will stay for 3 nights .
Sometime I felt I like to find the troubles for myself when traveling . I had to solve the problem of my unable calling mobile first and then solve the pin number after . Finally I got my card problem solved and still can catch one sightseeing spot before sunset .

2018年畢業旅行-行程
2015年到2018年因為讀書跟考試，我基本上哪裡都沒辦法去。生活不是讀書就是工作。畢業後也忙著考英文考試。2018年總算規劃了三週休假，利用了這段時間回台灣並且旅遊了一下。
Himeji Castle,Egret's Eye View /姬路城 ~天空的白鷺
I had been to the following castles on my 2012 travel.
- Himeji Castle (姬路城) - located in Himeji, in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan.
- Hikone Castle (彥根城) - located in Hikone, inShiga Prefecture, Japan.
- Nagahama Castle (長浜城) - located in Nagahama, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
I went to Himeiji Castle the second day since I arrived in Osaka.
It's a partly cloudy windy day,and a long commute to Himeji .
If you take JR express it's almost one hour

我在NZ的外勞生活
即使我故意把標題打得很悲慘，但我在NZ的生活儼然一點也不像個窮苦的背包客。
因為不是所有人都知道背包客是什麼，下面先解釋何為背包客
自從有背包客這個詞以來，它們就跟登山大背包與克難節儉的生活劃上等號。
節錄一段維基百科對背包客的說明，
"背包客，在英文中為Backpacker，是由Backpacking一詞演變而來，也就是背著背包做長途自助旅行的人，被稱呼為背包客的旅行者往往是在有限的預算下進行旅行活動，所以他們對於旅行的規劃、景點的獨到之處也常有自成一派的見解，在旅遊界裡，老經驗的背包客往往相當令人注目，此外，目前背包客也能泛指登山、露營、冒險活動的戶外活動參與者。"
"背包客文化中的一個特色就是「團體性」，不論是住在有自助廚房以及共用電視廳的青年旅館、與他人共乘交通工具或是一起購買車票，最重要的是分享彼此的經驗，這樣的資訊交流使得諸多背包客們能夠從互相學習，同時能夠省錢，得到的資訊甚至比閱讀寂寞星球出版的旅遊書（最常被引用的自助旅遊聖經）都還要新還要多。
第二個特色就是「真實」。自助旅行不是一段假期，而是一種學習[1]，背包客們總希望能夠體驗到當地最真實的風俗民情，而不是旅遊業包裝下的套裝行程，因此背包客有時也被冠上「反觀光客」的封號[2]。"
以上藍色自節錄維基百科背包客說明
打工渡假的背包客的住宿
1.青年旅館:一種經濟實惠，具備簡單設備，共用許多公共設施的旅館。
ex: BBH、YHA
2.一般旅館、農場工寮、鐵皮屋、帳篷、露營車、能遮風擋雨的地方當地人家。
Working Holiday
台灣在2004年才首度開始開放澳洲跟紐西蘭打工度假簽證申請。但其他國家早已行之有年。
其宗旨是讓年輕人能邊工作籌措旅費邊展開當地的旅遊生活。
"申請人之目的在於度假，打工係為使度假展期而附帶賺取旅遊生活費，並非入境主因"
打工度假者不只促進當地經濟產業，也順便解決了打工度假該國所不夠的勞動力。
本人的打工度假 工作篇
黑工:剛到奧克蘭的時候找到的頭兩份工作都是給現金。天下烏鴉一般黑，不管是中國、印度、泰國、韓國...等都是以給現金不打稅的廉價勞工為主。
黑工的主要定義就是沒有報稅，跟錢多錢少沒有關係，但是錢大多都不多，奧克蘭的黑工大概就是時薪8~9塊。
我知道的打黑工身分有下面幾種:
1.學生
許多學生因為簽證有打工時數上限，所以會在餐館打黑工。
2.沒有工作簽證者
沒有工作簽證，無法合法工作，不能報稅只能打黑工。
3.想拿政府補助生活者
有些人拿失業補助金，因此不能有工作的紀錄，只能打黑工。
基本上打黑工是非常不可取的行為，但是打黑工的人源源不斷，
許多雇主為了省錢也寧可雇用打黑工的人士。
在奧克蘭做過的工作，
兆昌食品工廠:餃子、包子、滷味
我只在這邊工作過三天，兩天幫忙搬家，另外一天是除雞腳死皮。
由於是第一份工作，當時薪水雖然少的可憐，但是在紐西蘭賺的第一筆錢，拿到現金特別開心。
這份工作是跟Emma、Minky、Tony一起做。
韓國人開的兩元商品批發中心
這邊也只做兩天。這兩天的薪水64塊，我實在難忘老闆娘當下拿65塊給我，然後叫我找他一塊的這件事。
草莓農場
在奧克蘭，我跟在奧克蘭生活的華人一起住，然後每天通勤去草莓農場上班，回家看小說...(基本上把奧克蘭替換成其他任何地名都可以，我根本不會因為去不同地方而改變我的生活方式....)
機場附近的農場，我做了三個月
在Hasting。由於在這邊我短時間內換了很多份工作，所以需要條列一下。
*Wattie's 冷凍食品與罐頭工廠
*Mr. Apple 蘋果包裝廠
*McCain 冷凍食品工廠
*Crasborn 蘋果包裝廠
基本上由於簽證有不得在一個地方工作超過三個月的限制，加上我受限語言能力。我找的工作大多是簡單不用大腦一類的工廠工作........打工度假的人大多是找季節性工作，像是服務業跟農場等隨季節需要大量人力的工作。
當然找工作是各憑本事，總是有人能因為一技之長找到特別的工作。
