If you have been following me for a while, you probably know that I'm a really big fan of Taiwan.

如果您已經關注我一段時間，您可能知道我是台灣的忠實粉絲。

Actually, last year I used to live in Taiwan, because I applied for a “working holiday” and I got it.

事實上，去年我曾經住在台灣，因為我申請了“打工度假”，並且申請到了。

I moved to Taiwan, and I was living there for about 5 or 6 months.

我搬到台灣，在那裡住了大約五到六個月。

But then…

但是在那之後…

as you know, the corona crisis happened and at first, I was planning to stay in Taiwan during the crisis,

如您所知，發生了冠狀病毒危機，起初我打算在疫情危機期間留在台灣，

because I felt very safe there. Taiwan was handling everything very well.

因為在那裡我感到非常安全。所有事情台灣處理得很好。

But then, as the virus was spreading in Europe and there were less planes flying to Europe, I realized that I might be stuck in Taiwan.

但是後來，由於病毒在歐洲傳播，飛往歐洲的飛機越來越少，我意識到自己可能會卡在台灣。

If something happens to my family, if somebody gets sick, there is no way I can go back home.

如果我的家人出了什麼事，如果有人生病，我將無法回家。

That's when I decided I would go home as fast as possible to be close to my family during this crisis.

在那時候，我決定​​在這次疫情危機中盡快回家，與家人在一起。

At that time, when I just left, I was thinking I was going home for just a few weeks at most.

那時，我剛離開的時候，我以為我最多只會回家幾週。

But now, this whole crisis has been going on for months and it was not what I expected.

但到現在，整個疫情已經持續了幾個月，這並不是我所預期的。

It looks like it's not over yet. It looks like we might get a second wave.

看起來還沒有結束。看來我們可能會迎來第二波疫情。

In the comments I often see the question: “when will you go back to Taiwan?”.

在留言中我經常看到一個問題：“妳什麼時候回台灣？”

I was wondering the same thing. I've been thinking about it a lot and today I want to tell you what my plan is about Taiwan.

我也想知道同樣的事情。我已經想了很多，今天我想告訴您我對台灣的計畫。

I hope you are sitting comfortably, I am going to make myself a cup of tea. I advise you to do the same!

希望您能舒適地坐著，我要給自己倒杯茶。我建議您也這樣做！

Welcome on my Rooftop!

歡迎來到我的屋頂！

I have not filmed here before, but this looks like a nice place to talk on our ease.

我以前沒有在這裡錄過影片，但這裡看起來像是個安心談話的好地方。

I hope you are comfortable and got some tea like me.

我希望您能舒服地喝茶像我一樣。

Let's go back to the subject.

讓我們回到主題。

When I came back to Belgium at first, I wasn't doing much.

剛回到比利時的時候，我沒做太多事。

I was living at my parent's house and all my siblings came back home so it was really nice.

我當時住在父母的家中，我所有的兄弟姐妹都回到了家，真的很好。

After a week or two I was thinking:

一兩個星期後我在想：

I might be stuck here for a few weeks so it might be good to get a temporary job to get some money for when I go back to Taiwan.

我可能會在這裡待上幾週，找一份臨時工作來賺錢可能會不錯，為了我之後回台灣

I applied at a job agency, I gave them my CV (resume).

我在一家職業介紹所應徵，然後給了他們我的簡歷。

When they contacted me, they had a few boring job offers, very temporary job offers.

當他們與我聯繫時，他們有一些無聊的工作機會，非常暫時的工作機會。

But one job offer was very interesting to me. That one had to do with education and with things that I studied.

但是有一份工作對我來說很有趣。那是與教育和我學過的東西有關。

I went to that place for a job interview. The first job interview was in person.

我去那個地方面試工作。第一次面試是面對面的。

I was interviewed by two people there and it went really well. They told me there would be a second interview with another person.

我在那裡經過了兩個人的面試，進行得非常順利。他們告訴我，將會與另一個人進行第二次面試。

The last person I would have to talk with. At that time started the lockdown. My meeting with that person became an online interview.

那是要和我談的最後一個人。那時候開始封城。我和那個人的會面變成了線上面試。

It went very well and the job sounded interesting to me. I started the job there, but it was under a job agency contract.

一切非常順利，這項工作對我來說聽起來很有趣。我開始在那裡工作，但是是用職業介紹所的契約。

Sorry, there is a tractor coming through…

抱歉，有一台牽引機經過…

I don't know if you saw that.

我不知道您有沒有看到。

Sorry for the noise.

很抱歉有噪音。

I started a job there, but my contract was a job agency contract that could easily be terminated.

我在那裡開始工作，但是我的契約是可以很容易終止的職業介紹所契約。

Every week, whenever I wanted, I could have quit if I wanted to.

每個星期，只要我願意，我都可以辭職。

I started my job there and I soon noticed that I liked the kind of work that I had to do there.

我在那開始工作，很快我發現我喜歡在那做的事情。

It was very different every day, it is not a job where every day is the same, getting really boring very fast.

每天都很不一樣，這不是那種每天都一樣的工作，會很快變得無聊。

I think it is challenging and interesting. Everyday there are new challenges and new problems I have to face try to find solutions for everything.

我覺得這個充滿挑戰和有趣。每天都有新的挑戰和新的問題，我必須設法找到所有解決方案。

I really like that.

我真的很喜歡

Now, after working there for 3 months they offered me a real contract, not from the job agency but at that company.

現在，在那工作了三個月後，他們提供我一份真正的契約，不是來自職業介紹所，而是來自那家公司。

Since I like this job I accepted, and I made up my mind to work there for 2 years.

因為我喜歡這份工作，所以我接受那份契約，並決定在那兒工作兩年。

After 2 years I will re-evaluate if I like my work there and if I want to continue to work there or if it is time to make a complete career switch.

兩年後，我會重新評估自己是否喜歡在那裡的工作，是否要繼續在那裡工作，或者是否是時候轉換跑道。

I'm not sure about that yet but I can definitely see myself work there for a while.

我還不確定，但是我肯定已經預期自己在那裡工作一段時間。

Suddenly my plans completely changed because this was not my intention.

我的計劃突然整個改變了，因為這不是我以前的打算。

When I came back to Belgium, I thought this would be very temporarily, just waiting to go back to Taiwan.

當我回到比利時的時候，我以為這只是暫時的，只是等著回到台灣。

But now I am very happy that I found this job because when I'm looking at this whole situation with Corona,

但是現在我很高興能找到這份工作，因為當我看著整個冠狀病毒疫情時，

nothing is sure and I don't even know when I would have been able to go back to Taiwan.

什麼事都不確定，我甚至不知道我什麼時候可以回台灣。

because I used to be in Taiwan on a “working holiday” but my working holiday was for 6 months and after 6 months I could apply for another 6 months.

因為我曾經在台灣“打工度假”，但是我的工作假期是六個月，而六個月後我可以再申請六個月。

When it was time to apply, to extend my working holiday, I wasn't in Taiwan anymore.

要申請延長打工度假的時候，我已經不在台灣了。

I had to go back already so I couldn't extend my visa there, I think there is no way to do it online.

我已經不得不回去(比利時)，所以我不能在台灣延長簽證，我想沒有辦法在線上展延。

My working holiday is over, I guess the only way I can go back to Taiwan is as a tourist. That is very nice already!

我的打工度假結束了，我猜回到台灣的唯一途徑就是當旅客。這已經很好了！

As a tourist or maybe one day if I find a job in Taiwan and they can sponsor my visa, that would be a possibility.

作為遊客，或者如果有一天我在台灣找到工作並且他們可以擔保我的簽證，那將會是一種可能。

I was thinking: 2 years that is a long time not to go to Taiwan, so I definitely have to go before.

我當時在想：兩年不去台灣是很長的時間，所以我一定要在那之前去。

My plan right now is to go to Taiwan this winter.

我現在的計劃是今年冬天去台灣。

Of course, there are two factors that could change my plans but (I hope not):

當然，有兩個因素可能會改變我的計劃，但是（我希望不會）：

One is of course coronavirus: will there be any flights to Taiwan? Can I enter without a visa?

其中之一當然是冠狀病毒：會有飛往台灣的航班嗎？我可以不用簽證入境嗎？

There are some questions still there. I am not sure how this situation will be once winter comes.

還有一些問題。我不確定冬天來臨時疫情會如何。

I hope that this stupid virus dies when the warm weather disappears, but I am not sure about that.

我希望這個愚蠢的病毒在溫暖的天氣消失後就死掉，但是我不確定。

Corona is the first factor and the second factor is that I have to get permission from my workplace to go on a holiday for 2 weeks during winter.

病毒是第一個因素，第二個因素是我必須得到公司的許可才能在冬季休假兩週。

But I think it shouldn't be a problem if I ask it far in advance, I don't see any reason why I shouldn't be allowed to go to Taiwan.

但我想如果我提前提出來，這應該不是問題，我看不出有任何理由不允許我去台灣。

That is my plan for now.

這是我目前的計劃。

I wanted to keep you all updated because I know you are all very curious to know when I will be back in Taiwan.

我想讓大家都有最新消息，因為我知道你們都很好奇我何時會回到台灣。

My answer is: hopefully (let's all hope) this winter.

我的答案是：希望是（讓我們滿懷希望）今年冬天。

When I go back, I'm so excited because it will not be summer. Summer is so warm in Taiwan.

我回去時會很興奮，因為不會是夏天。台灣的夏天非常熱。

I am happy that I can go back during winter. It is so nice!

我很高興冬天能回去。真是太好了！

Winter here in Belgium can be very cold but in Taiwan winter has the perfect temperature to enjoy everything.

比利時的冬天可能非常寒冷，但在台灣，冬天擁有可以享受一切的完美溫度。

I am very excited. I'm planning to save…

我覺得很激動。我打算存…

You might have noticed that since I made my channel, after a few months I could turn on monetization.

您可能已經注意到，自從創立頻道以來幾個月後，我已經可以啟用獲利功能。

Maybe you saw an ad at the beginning of this video? I am trying to save money for my trip to Taiwan with my YouTube channel.

也許您在這部影片的開頭看到一個廣告？我想試著由 YouTube 頻道為台灣行存錢。

I am not sure if it will work because you might be aware that that the ad-money that I get is very low

我不確定這是否行得通，因為您可能會意識到我獲得的廣告收入很少

because YouTube keeps a big part.

因為 YouTube 佔有大部分的收入。

There are also some rules like: a person needs to watch at least 30 seconds of an advertisement or the full advertisement

還有一些規則，例如：一個人需要觀看至少 30 秒的廣告或完整的廣告

or maybe they need to click on the advertisement I am not sure how it works but anyway

或者也許他們需要點選廣告，我不確定它怎麼用，但是無論如何

It is not going fast but I am trying!

進行得不是很快，但我正在努力！

I will make videos and hopefully I can reinvest the money that I made with YouTube for my YouTube material:

我將會製作影片，並希望我可以將自己在 YouTube 上賺到的錢用於我的 YouTube 工具：

camera, microphone lighting upgrades and for my Taiwan trip.

攝影機、麥克風、照明設備昇級，以及我的台灣行。

Wish me luck! I will try hard and I will keep making videos and I hope you all enjoy.

祝我好運！我會繼續努力，並且持續製作影片，希望大家都喜歡。

If you have any suggestions of things you would like me to do…

如果您對事情有任何建議，希望我去做…

Right now I'm thinking: I would love to review some Taiwanese products.

現在我正在想：我想評鑑一些台灣產品。

I will go to the Taiwanese restaurant in Leuven (that is my plan) to buy some products

我會去魯汶的台灣餐廳（這是我的計劃）買一些產品

like the condensed milk one. I would love to give my opinion reviews of products.

像是奶酥那個。我會想對產品發表自己的評價。

I will see if I can try some Taiwanese products in Belgium that I can try and review for you.

我會看看是否可以在比利時嘗試一些台灣的產品，並為你們作評論。

Let me know if you have other ideas or other suggestions of content you would like to see from me.

如果您對影片內容有其他想法或建議，希望從我這看到，請告訴我。

I think I said everything, everything I needed to say…

我想我已經說完我要說的一切…

Maybe just a code word. If you watch until now, the codeword of today is:

也許就剩一個通關密碼。如果您一直看到現在，今天的通關密碼是：

“Rooftop”

“屋頂”

It's getting windy here!

這裡風變大了！

Thank you so much for watching. I hope to see you very soon in the next video.

非常感謝您的收看。我希望在下一個影片中很快見面。

Stay safe and healthy. Bye-bye ~

保持安全健康。Bye-bye ~
