<Background> I regularly went to floral art courses every Saturday from 6/22 to 8/10. I met many people. One aunt said that she accidentally fell into the flower trap and earned a flower art certificate during the COVID-19. I admire her arts and the way she continues to learn and improve herself beyond her professional life. I really admire her. Chatting with her, I learned that there are European and Japanese flower arrangements. I thought that European flower varieties are very beautiful, but buying these flowers in Taiwan is very expensive. It reminded me that the tulips in the Netherlands are very famous. Are there many natural scenery waiting for me to discover in Europe? So during the last class of the flower arrangement course, I asked the classmate next to me, "Oh, I really want to go to Europe." She , who had just returned from a business trip to Japan, replied, “ Have you ever traveled abroad alone? Be starting with Japan first! - Her words truly inspired/aroused my unyielding personality. Renting an apartment in Taipei is difficult(8/5), is this an opportunity?
(9/3) I realized that my current job isn't my ideal, and it has made my life feel quite unfulfilling.I originally planned to work hard and study Japanese during my leisure time in Taipei because I want to go working holiday in Japan when I turn 27 in 2026. However, I'm worried that the work environment in Japan might be very similar to Taiwan.Should I do it earlier? I checked the age for working holiday in various countries, there is one country where the upper age limit is 26 years old - the Czech Republic.

I anxiously inquired about what I need to prepare to apply for a working holiday in the Czech Republic. Everyone says that proof of accommodation is the most difficult thing, as you need to find a place to stay and a landlord who is willing to provide it.
But that's exactly the same as my situation in Taiwan! I checked that the flight ticket to the Czech Republic costs over 20,000 NTD and takes nearly 20 hours. If I don't go to Czechia while I'm still young, I probably won't have the energy to do it later. Anxious, I took annual leave to go directly to the office for more details while I'm currently in Taipei (9/6). Excited, I took the MRT in the morning, enduring the crowded commute, getting a little lost, and finally arriving at the building of the Czech office. It seemed to be under renovation. Entered with some doubt,and the gate guard looked at me. Salute? Was there some misunderstanding? Had I come at the wrong time? Taking the elevator and wondering if the person next to me was Mr.Big? When I arrived at the 7th floor,it's closed on Friday... I couldn't open the door. Later, a lady approached and asked if there was a problem. She explained, “We’re not open today. Are you a student? Are you going to study abroad? “I said no , then plucked up my courage and said: I want working holiday! “Do you have a proof of accomodation?” How to get it? She asked, 'Do you know English? You can send an email in English; you don’t have to come in person...'
