gathering before my leaving to Australia

It's time to say goodbye to my company SR SUNTOUR where I had served for 11 years. Everything is smooth, not thing bad. just want to experience different life style. First , start from Eric invited. with Max, Viky, Sammi, Charlotte, Afra. Oh.. didn't have any photo to keep secret. Second, sales manager Vance invited. with some sales staff, Ma San, Kevin, Ian.



Rose leaving for Canada, Lucy leaving for Australia. middle is Vance.



Visiting my university good friend. their family treat me very well. They will visit me when I finish my trip.

Vanessa my friend from india dance class. She ever study in Australia for 2 years. Invite rose and me to get together. I chatted with Rose till mid night. Her family worried why she still not back home. surprisede that all the people looking for her on FB.

with my college. Almost didn't meet them for 10 years. All of us not change. Everyone serve their job for more then 10 years. Is that good ? I guess the smooth environment can work till retire. By the way, Grance, Yu-fan , Cha-Ping didn't show up. Didn't catch them. Surprised that Yu-fan had married a Austria and I never know it.

No matter what! just want to experience different life style and open my eye abroad. I have to take a step forward to away my comfort zone!!

What's the define of life ?

Today read my favorite travel writer Venus's article. http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/venus791129/article?mid=10693&prev=10699&next=10688    I always got inspired when read her article. She is so brave and clear understand what she want for her life.                                                                                                            

A happy life is what we are looking for. Away from comfortable zone, keep smiling to my life. I should not care about what's other people thinking about me. I should take the respond to my own life. It's time to say goodbye to my comfortable zone.

ChangHau where I grow up

Keep learning~

It's terrible occupied by work for more then 10 years.

Find something interested to learn to have more colorful life is important.

• I am happy that I keep learning languages (Japanese, Spanish, German, Korea) after graduate from university.
• Cycling to the mountain with some colleagues on the weekend for 1.5 years.
• Join belly dance, India dance, Aerobics for 3 years.
• guitar class. discontinue for almost 10 years. met a nice teacher half year ago. so take the chance to do more practice.
• Just recently start to learn sketching, do breathing exercises ( practise qigong ).

What about learning during the trip abroad. It's another way to learning boundless. Maybe some friends, relative can't support , agree with me by this way. But I would like to try. Thinking without action I will regred in the future!! traveling always bring me fresh moment.

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.

元気の広瀬さん

広瀬さんは年寄りですけどう、子供の気味がよくみられます。何時もいっぱい無邪気な笑顏が出ます。会社を引退したも三年ぶりです。昨日あのおじさんは台湾の会社を来るの事かとても嬉しかった。ヤッバリ酒を飲まない、タバコを吸わないのが一番ん大切たな。体の調子が好くになたん。若く顔もします。

彼は日本で引退の生活を楽に暮らす事が羨ましいです。将来若し時間があたら、是非広瀬さんの故郷を行ってみます。人生は是非楽の生活を暮らしましょう。 今の毎日、毎時、毎分、毎秒ても自分の幸せを頑張りましょう。

十年前、広瀬さんは営業の皆に作て召し上がたんの親子丼の味を思い出します。
その幸せの味がつつけます～　楽の生活を暮らすの秘密た。
