South America 「能遇見你，是我上輩子修來的福氣。」

People say " Having a chance to meet you is the fortune I accumulated from previous life" 

「能遇見你，是我上輩子修來的福氣。」

For me , I would like to substitute it by south america. So many good memory about south america.

10 years ago,  what I knew about south america is only Argentina the country I would love to visit once in my life time. Just like it without any reason. maybe it's far away from Taiwan. (on the earth from Taiwan through equator , Argentina is the farest one) The iceberg , Iguazu Falls totally attract me. I would love to be there in personal. ever through about study spanish in argentina for 1 year. but finally subtitute by Spain for 3 weeks. Maybe I am not brave enough to quit my job and go there at that time.

Why love to learn different  langauge?

1. Help in communication
The world is so big !! one more langauge will give me the chance to get closer with one person, group, different culture. Meet people with less boundary.
