澳洲-WorkingHoliday|我在澳洲的三個月日子里,做的、去的、生活的一切





從2016年9月確定要踏上澳洲Working Holiday後開始打工存旅費、跑體檢、上網找資料,到9月底車禍跟簽證一起下來....心情很是複雜,好在沒有什麼太大的傷害,靜養復健快半年後,確認自己的身體狀況都OK了,便開始訂機票,出發的日期敲定了就是2017年3月3日。

Since September  in 2016, We decided to hold Woring Holiday Visa to Australia. Than we started to saving travel expenses, taking physical examination, finding information... I got the visa and  the car accident happened to me in end September. Fortunately no much damage, I just took rehabilitation for six months to ensure my physical condition is fine. We started to booking flight tickets, and determined the departure time is 3/3/2017. 

當初給自己的目標就是讓自己能夠存些錢好還學貸,也去體驗一下不同世界文化當下的生活方式,也讓自己的語文能力可以好好接受洗禮一下,當初也是會擔心是否自己的語文能力不足,錢帶得夠不夠,會不會流落街頭,好在在旅途上頭沒有遇到太困難的問題,自己的破英文也能應付大多數的狀況,旅費我倆帶出國的錢大概澳幣3000,因為在出發前已經先確定了工作,所以安心不少。後來遇到的人也有自己帶著澳幣300就衝了,但他是屬於幸運度報錶的那個範疇。其實我覺得最難應該是要踏出第一步的勇氣,一旦出發後很多事情其實都沒那麼困難,只要把心放寬,接受所遇到的一切人事物,似乎所有的事情都會踏上軌道的。

I hope saving money to pay the student loan and get experience in different cultures and make own language skill better. At first, I was worry about my poor English, no much expenses, no place to living. Fortunately, there was no too difficult problems we got, and my English is enough to conversation to people. We took about 3000 AUD, because we got the job before we departures. Later, we meet friend who only took 300 AUD to Australia, I think he is very lucky one. The most difficult part is the COURAGE for first step. when you decided to departure, you will found everything is not so difficult. make your mind open and accept the people you meet, the things  happen to you, it is seem to make everything alright.

這次出發也是我跟女朋友第一次兩個人獨自出國,我覺得是非常棒的決定! 一剛始還跟她說「如果我們出國相處得不好,會不會直接分手啊....」慶幸的是現在還保持的不錯!一起接受新的世界、新的朋友、新的生活方式,是一件幸福的事情,但大概每天照三餐都會想吃台灣的食物跟購物環境還有那群廢物朋友。

this time, it's our first time go abroad  with my girlfriend only two of us, I thought this is very current decision. At beginning, I told her, if we get off well in Australia, maybe we will break up.... Fortunately, it is still good now!Together to experience new environment, meet new friends, new way of life, is happiness. But we still miss Taiwanese food and convenience to shopping and the groups of friends in Taiwan.

在訂機票的時候,我們決定要留一天的時間在新加坡,可以入境新加坡逛逛!而且在新加坡持台灣護照就可以免簽!但是天不從人願...到新加坡後整天下大雨,只能待在樟宜機場(據說是最好逛而且光花一天在裡頭玩也不會膩)等待轉機。女朋友瘋狂在機場睡覺....直到她餓醒才開始去覓食!

When we booking the flight, we want to stay for one day in Singapore and enter Singapore! By the way, Singapore is Visa-free country if you hold the passport of Taiwan. but unlucky,  when we arrived Singapore the wether is terrible, we canceled the tour in Singapore, and we stay in Singapore Changi airport (the best airport in transferring, you can spend all day inside) waiting for transferring airplane. My girlfriend slept at the airport for a long time until she hungry to wake up.

2017/03/05抵達澳洲,降落在墨爾本機場,在這個陌生但交通跟街況都非常先進的地方,我們待了三天的時間,除了跟朋友見面吃飯,其他大概都是在找路跟迷路還有搭錯車的狀況下渡過,後來在旅途中遇到的朋友問起說「Daniel你們在墨爾本都去哪裡啊?」,而我只能回答都在迷路欸!!!

05/03/2017 arrived Australia, landing in Melbourne airport, in the strange but advanced places, we stayed for their days, visited friend, and looking for road and get lost in wrong situation.

2017/03/09再搭上國內線班機從 Melbourne  到 Launceston 機場,謝謝Ann同學帶著Elsa小朋友一起來接機。

09/03/2017 arrived Tasmania, thanks Ann and Elsa picked us to Devonport form Launceston.

在Working Holiday這段期間我們從Backpack住到Share House。在Backpack可以遇見來自不同文化,不同國家的朋友,看著他們說著不同的語言還有煮著不一樣的家鄉菜,每一天都是不一樣的體驗。聚在一起玩牌、開Party、出去玩都讓自己在這個陌生的國度有專屬自己的安全感。後來搬到Share House也遇到不錯的室友跟年輕房東。

These days, we lived in Backpack and Share House. In Backpack, you can meet friends come from different cultures and countries. They used own nature language, cooked their home cookings, everyday is a different experience. We played cards game, party, went out together, and feel sense of security in this strange country. Later, we moved to shared-house and meet nice shared-mate and young landlord.

從三月到現在我們做了兩份工作,第一份是在覆盆莓場當Picker,從第一天的暈頭轉向到後來熟練性的採果,時薪也從當初11塊到後來20多塊,隨著季節結束,也轉到洋蔥工廠的時薪工作,相對來說薪水穩定但就是比較無聊點。

Since March, we got two jobs, the first is picking in raspberry farm. At beginner we always confuse how to pick better to get higher hourly salary. Later, the season of raspberry almost end, we find the second hourly job in onion factory, got stable salary but is more boredom.

也買了人生的第一輛二手車,從一開始的慣性逆向、打雨刷到後來安全駕駛,也惹哭了Claire,讓她邊怒吃冰淇淋邊飆罵我(有影片紀錄),更充分體認到在澳洲農場工作一定要有車,上班方便,休假還可以方便地出門採買、遊玩。但也在不滿一個月的時間內報廢了,又回歸到寄生在室友還有朋友車上的乘客,目前還在努力存錢物色下一台車中。

Also bought first used car in life, form the beginning of inertia of the reverse driving, open car wiper when I wanted to turning to driving safety. And made Claire cried so that she eating ice cream angrily and scolding me(have video record). Recognized that we must have car when we work in Australia farm, convenient to work and go out to buy, play. But also less than one month, our car have scrapped. and we only take our share-mate or friends' car to everywhere. Now we are still trying to save money to find other car.

在Tasmania我們去了Cradle Mountain National ParkRoss小鎮、Sheffield插畫小鎮、Trowunna Wildlife Park野生動物園、The Nut (海上烏魯魯)  等等地方,還有也幫女朋友報名了2017的黃金海岸半程馬拉松,希望她這次能夠跑完全程但不要在終點罵我....

In Tasmania, we went to the Cradle Mountain National ParkRoss, Sheffield painting township, Trowunna Wildlife Park, the Nut etc... Also help Claire enrolled the 2017 Gold coast half marathon. Hope she will finish it and don't scold me at the finish. 

凜冬將至啊,希望在澳洲打工度假的朋友們都能夠好好地過冬,好好存錢等到冬天過去又能夠一起玩耍。

Winter is coming, hope everyone working-holiday in Australia have nice winter. Saving money, when the winter finish we can play together.
