Longing for that trip to paradise but stressing over budget concerns? Check out Boracay, an Island I call Paradise where I did not need to squeeze my wallet to enjoy!

▶ Kalibo Airport to Boracay Island ◀
You may opt for self arrange transfers or purchase an “all-in-one” packages offered at the airport. It’s not expensive!

Do not purchase any tours or activities from touts at the jetty. I was offered a set of tours for 7,000peso (~RM600) when the exact tours and activities from a licensed tour operator only cost 2,500peso (~RM200).

麻煩大家幫忙
留下優秀的一家人

他們來自波多黎各
父母親都是名校約翰霍普金大學的電腦碩士
(Master Degree in Computer Science - Johns Hopkins University at Laurel, MD)
他們著五個孩子，到全世界學習
Diego 17歲 Paula 13 歲 Alonzo 12 歲
Felizi 8 歲 Matteo 6 歲

八月，他們到了台灣
發覺這是一個非常適合的生活環境
有好的醫療、中文學習環境、電腦產業、和超好吃的水果
九月，Diego , Paula, Alonzo進入惠文高中寄讀
他們來了之後，學校形成一個很棒的英語學習情境
台灣學生都被迫用英文跟他們互動

星期五與台北歌德學院簽訂德國「PASCH夥伴學校」時
他們三個和學校弦樂社一起合奏卡農(見影片)
非常非常有教養的一家人

然而他們11月就必須離開台灣
因為他們來台灣的第五天
得到美國總公司的通知
他們收掉波多黎各的公司
爸爸Tommy失業了
所以這幾天，他在台中接一個英文家教
但經濟仍是問題

如果台中的朋友可以提供11月4日前的短期英文、西班牙文家教工作
或是提供長期電腦工程師的工作
麻煩和Tommy聯絡
以下是他的聯絡方式及完整資歷
(願意幫他們申請工作簽證更好)
他們很願意把台灣當成第二個家

PS
覺得政府說要把英文變成第二語言
最棒的方式是吸引國外的學生進入我們的校園
在人才即國力的年代
讓優秀的國際人才留在台灣
如果在台灣就有很好的英語學習環境
我們就不用一窩蜂跑到國外
