Travel Around the World with Cafes~ 跟著咖啡輕旅行

紐西蘭威靈頓 Wellington, New Zealand ( Capital of New Zealand) Waterfront view - Wellington 威靈頓經典海景 本篇想介紹一下之前旅居兩年的城市 - 紐西蘭威靈頓(人口40多萬的紐西蘭小小首都) 轉眼間, 離上篇文章"台北"已經近N年之久了。 一直想找個時間來創作這篇文章, 但不知不覺半年就過去了。 這幾年人生也有重大轉變, 除了學習英文, 當了遊民中心的義工, 回台與家人好友相聚分享結婚喜訊。 在紐西蘭也陸續旅遊觀光了些小鎮。目前也搬到奧克蘭~未來再跟大家陸續介紹~ 來之前對紐西蘭這個國度的印象不多, 聽說這是一個綿羊比人多的國家, 從電影魔界看到綠油油的一片山與清澈無比的泉水。- 是的, 以上皆對! 這裡有時候子在郊區開車半小時以上都沒看到來車, 但倒是有無數羊群在兩邊的草原或坡上專注的低頭吃草。 (想像一下清境農場的放大版), 就對了!  入住之後才發現這是一個高消費的國家, 物價: 平均一個三明治台幣$250左右, 超市礦泉水一瓶$ 70-80,市中心3坪套房房租每月約台幣3萬不含水電...連生活在歐洲德國都沒有這麼誇張.... 但畢竟是一生中至少要來旅遊一次的國度, 建議大家抓好預算才不會敗興而歸唷! Wellington 威靈頓 以下有幾個關於威靈頓#好康網站#推薦給大家: Couple Goodies Link in Wellington: 1) Flight Tickets  國內機票 (時常有優惠)        Air New Zealand 紐西蘭航空  &    Jetstar 捷星航空 2)  Craft Beer Lover 啤酒愛好者  (必須年滿18歲; 18 years + only) *紐西蘭對於供應酒精的商家或餐廳,都有一個供酒執照監督是否供應給法定成人, 一般亞洲人看起來年輕, 若他們認為有疑慮會要求你出視證件證明年齡, 一般是護照或當地駕照!) 3) Travel on your own 喜歡到處自助的人      http://ww...

Taipei 101 - It was the tallest building in the world. Now, it is the landmark Skyscraper of TPE central. Well.. I think it's time to write about my hometown city - Taipei(TPE) I have thought about it since finishing my first blog post, but the truth is the longer you have lived in a place, the more difficult it is to express your feelings about it. Taipei Region has constructed from two main parts which are "Taipei city (2.7Mil ppl) + New Taipei city (nearly 4Mil ppl)". This means almost 6.7Mil people out of Taiwan's 24Mil population (~30%) live together in the same city. Shall we  start our brief tour about my home town TAIPEI?             寫了那麼多城市, 竟然還沒寫出我的家鄉台灣,台北。為了盡我這個小小國民的義務， 我想我是該好好的推廣一下，我所居住了這麼多年的家。 其實"家"這個詞本來對我還頗理所當然，只是每當我踏出國門後, 身上唯一的一個有用證件只剩下護照。每遇見一個人, 第一句話就是你從哪裡來?  曾在德國介紹自己是台灣來時，常被誤會"泰國"，解釋了一番後還要在世界地圖上認真的指出"台灣"，當然我也遇到更多善良的世界各地友人的幫忙，在這裡的確要心存感激!!       由於很多外國人對亞洲的了解有限, 曾經在上課時, 德國企管教授談到"韓國"的BENQ 被德國西門子合併了...

澳洲 墨爾本 Melbourne, Australia 重新整理本篇的"咖啡之旅" 希望對現在或未來對咖啡課程或澳洲咖啡文化有興趣的人做參考囉!  近年來因為打工渡假簽證的熱潮, 鼓勵所有年輕人, 前往世界各地打工並賺取旅遊經費，小編我也是持此簽證去上課兼打工與渡假的, 但近一年酸甜苦辣的等改天再與各位分享! 以下就讓我們慢慢用視覺品嚐澳洲咖啡&美酒囉~ It's been a while since my last post about Tokyo, Japan. During the last months, I was preparing to travel again to another country in the Southern part of the world, it seems like traveling is becoming part of my life and I really enjoy it in getting to know more diversity culture in the world.  The country I am relocating to now is very famous for the movie "Lord of Rings" - New Zealand. But before I get to know more about the coffee culture here, I would like to share with all of you that the memorable  Barista training course in the country where is famous for  Kangaroo and Koala-   AUSTRALIA "OZ".
