上週一位韓國朋友從台灣旅遊回來,在桃園機場等待回程班機時遇見一位也去台灣自助旅行的韓國年輕女孩,她說行程原本玩的很盡興,但是在她搭計程車往桃園機場的路上,司機在發現她是韓國人之後,竟然在高速公路上趕她下車,讓她感到非常錯愕與驚恐。我的韓國朋友告訴我這故事之後,我感到非常羞愧與憤怒。
A Korean friend returned from his vacation in Taiwan last week. While waiting for the return flight at the airport, he met a young Korean girl who traveled in Taiwan by herself. She told my friend she had good time in her trip until she was asked to get off the taxi on the highway when the taxi driver found out she is Korean. She felt very shocked and horrified. When my Korean friend told me that story, I felt very ashamed and angry.

People said it is autumn in Korea now, but I feel it is already winter to me. The temperature is around 5°C, and it is even lower at night. It is been almost 8 months since I moved to Seoul. I enjoy my life here very much. The job is the best in my career. The weather is mild and comfortable. The apartment I live is modern and large. What more can I ask for as a Taiwanese in Korea?

This annual event took place at Yeouido Hangang Park last night (6 October 2012). The fireworks shows were provided by professional teams from four countries: Italy, China, U.S.A, and Korea. I was very lucky to be invited by a friend to watch the fireworks from his friend’s apartment at Ichon. The view of Yeouido behind Hangang was fantastic, and we were able to stay indoors when the temperature was very low yesterday.

Since my first actuarial job in Nan Shan Life Insurance, working in Hong Kong has been one of my career dreams because Hong Kong has the leading actuarial market in Asia. I never thought that this dream would come true so quickly in this year. It just happened with a phone call from China and an interview in Taipei. I had the interview directly with the boss. He spent more time introducing his team and practice than asking me questions. I think he was already impressed when he first read my resume. The interview just assured him that I am indeed the person he wants. Miraculously, the great opportunity and challenge were acquired through the shortest and simplest interview I’ve ever had in my actuarial career.Read More »A real challenge has come
