Translation - English Two years ago I arrived in Taiwan, flying all the way from Arizona. I spent my whole life living in America, and attending school, but the moment after I finished high school I jumped onto a plane and came to Taiwan immediately. I didn’t know what to expect since I hadn’t experienced an Asian country before. The plane flight was more than 11 hours, and I spent the time staring out the window and drawing. Every time I’m on a flight I choose the window seat, because it’s a perspective you don’t have often. Everything we know in our lives is shrunken down to a small and insignificant size, with quiet clouds rolling overhead. Anyway the view helps me because I am deathly afraid of flying.
Once landed in Taiwan I sped through customs and walked into country officially. It really blew my mind I had actually arrived in reality, because in the months before my trip I would dream about trying to travel to Taiwan, but waking up before I ever could. But now I had really arrived. My first destination was a guava farm, where I planned to work for two weeks. It was then I made my first mistake in Taiwan.

Source text - Chinese 我來自美國亞利桑納州，除了旅行之外，從來沒想過在美國以外的國家生活。兩年前的 18 歲生日許的願望與離開美國完全扯不上關係，誰知道六個月後的某一天，我已經在飛往台灣的班機上，有點胃痛的盯著窗外隨著高度上昇而漸漸變的袖珍的我所熟悉的美國城市。
