離開柏斯之後,就很興奮的開著Vincent 的阿金,帶著他的兩位正妹同學,下去西南澳的農場找工作,雖然很興奮可以到新的地方生活,但其實一點都開心不起來,因為我本來並沒有打算待在澳洲的鄉下,但發生一些事,我希望可以七月之前完成季節性工作88天,也就是拿到二簽的資格,之後好好的旅行;如果我一周做六天,也要將近四個月的時間才能完成;我在二月底下去,順利的話三月初開始順利工作,想要在七月之前完成,甚至,要拿到二簽仍然是個不可能的任務... 因為本人七月就超過申請的資格,很擔心自己白忙一場,澳洲之旅變成笑話。一切都是個挑戰...
After leaving Perth, I was so excited about driving Vincent's car "Goldie" with his two classmates to look for farm work in the southwest of Australia. Although I was excited that I would have a different way of life in a different place, I was not happy. I didn't plan to live in the countryside for a long time. However, someting happened and I hoped I can have done seasonal work for 88 days before July so that I could get qualifications for 2nd year visa in order to travel well with my plans. If I can work 6 days a week, it will takes me almost 4 months to make it. I started moving in the end of Febuary. If it is going well to start woking in March, it is still a mission impossible for me to get qualified before July even to get the visa... because I will be too old to apply for visa after my birthday in July. I was so worried all my efforts will be in vain, and the trip in Australia becomes a joke. Everything was all a challenge to me...
