在新的一年2012，你们都为自己许下了什么愿望呢？是否计划了在这新的一年，打算为自己接下来的生命图填上了什么彩色呢？每个人都有一个梦，这梦可走得多遥远，就看自己的坚持能力有多强。

上期都与大家分享过，台湾没有与大马签下 working holiday programme ，所以如果大家有意到台湾，但budget不是很够，那么可以考虑KiTaiwan_台湾打工度假去或Topology Travel这家与众不同的旅社。两者有什么不同？请参考我为大家分析的如下：-

Characteristics/Organization	KiTaiwan	TopologyTravel
Owner	Play role as third party  for B&B owner and teenager which the owner offer the vacancy and young tourist accept the job in Taiwan	It is a private travel agency who operate by a young entrepreneur and a group of “special” team members.
