In Australia, every backpacker asks another one, this is your first visa or second visa?
Till now, the people I met who is having or using the second visa already is about over 80%.
And then, they will ask me, how about you?  Will you apply your second visa?  I always say "NO", because I am too old to have a good job when I back to Taiwan if I finish my second visa.
However, now, I am considering it seriously... 
I stayed in Caboolture for 3 months, and am planning to stay in Innisfail for another 3 months, and then go to the Southern Australia to have a travel or another job again, and maybe travel in the eastern Australia from Melbourn, then finally back to Brisbane, and fly back to Taiwan.
It looks like a good plan, however, I am wondering the time is enough or not...?
At this moment, I am thinking about the purpose of the Second Visa Application.
Most people is appling the second visa caused they would like to to have more time to visit this country.  But others would like to make and save money here, and then back to Taiwan.
So, what is my purpose to come to here, and what's my purpose for the second visa?

Firstly, I come to here is caused by I would like to live by myself, not with my family, not in a place I familiar.  If I wanna to have a different life, I have to quit my job.  So, why I do not go to Australia?
It's a quite tough life when you are working in a farm, but it is also a easy and lazy life caused you do not have to think too much about the job, about the business, about the relationships.
I just felt, it is enough for me to have the experience to live here.  But now, I was wavering caused by the apply age limit.
My friend said, go for apply it first, whatever you do use it or not.
But if I get it, will I like to stay here one more year and do not back to Taiwan?
I am still trying to find the right purpose about the second visa application.....
To be or not to be?  How do you say?

在澳洲，每個背包客都會問另一個背包客，你這是一簽還是二簽？
截至目前，我遇到的人之中，有超過80%的人已經拿到或是已經在使用二簽了。
接下來，他們會問我，那你呢？你會辦二簽嗎？我總是說，我不會，因為我年紀已經太大了，等我回台灣就不容易找到好工作了。
但是，我現在卻在認真的考慮這件事。
我待在caboolture三個月，而且計畫待在innisfail三個月，然後往南走，也許旅行、也許工作，接著應該會從墨爾本一路旅行上來，直到布里斯本，再飛回台灣。
這看起來是個好計畫，但是，我現在懷疑，時間是否足夠？
此時此刻，我開始思考有關於二簽申請的原因。
大部份的人申請二簽是因為他們希望有更多的時間可以在這邊遊玩，但是其他的人是希望賺錢然後存錢回台灣。
所以，我來這邊的理由是什麼？我要拿二簽的理由又是什麼？

一開始，我到澳洲來是因為我希望能夠自己一個人生活，不是跟家裡生活，也不是生活在一個熟悉的地方。如果我想要有一個不一樣的生活，我必須離職。所以，我何不到澳洲來？
澳洲的農場生活真的不好過，但那仍是簡單而輕鬆的日子，原因是你不需要想過多關於工作、關於職場、關於人際。
我以為，曾經有過這個經驗對我來說就足夠了，但現在，我卻因為申請的年齡限制動搖了。
朋友說，先申請嘛，反正不用也沒關係。
但是如果申請了，會不會讓我更想再利用這多出來的一年在國外生活？
我仍試著要去找出申請二簽的理由… 
做與不做？你怎麼說？
