大家好,我們是 Team JR- Team JR為 Team Jason and Rebecca 的簡寫

我跟Rebcca是在加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學的國標舞社團認識.我們從一開始只是舞伴的身分, 後來升格為男女朋友.

我們今年的主題是 “浪漫澎湖.” 我們想要探索澎湖地區(包括其它外島)美麗以及浪漫的地方,讓一般家庭和情侶都可以去那裡享受.

Rebecca 是土生土長的加拿大女孩, 可以他非常喜歡亞洲文化和美食,尤其是台灣炒米粉! 去年聖誕節 Rebecca 第一次來台灣玩,而我帶她去了一趟環島10 天之旅. (在我們的部落格可以看到那十天的旅程 http://penghutour.blogspot.com) Rebecca 很讚美台灣的景色,食物,還有當地人們的熱情招待. 而對他印象最深刻的莫過於在羅東夜市裡慶祝第一次在海外過一個沒下雪的聖誕節.

Jason 我是土生土長的台灣人, 我幾年前移民到加拿大來. 身為一個數位藝術家,我非成喜歡自住旅行跟拍攝風景照. 去年10天的環島旅遊就由我一人策劃的. 我們從南部,東部,再到北部, 從城市逛到鄉下逛到海邊逛到原住民區再逛回來城市. 今年, 我和Rebecca打算再來個自住旅行,探索澎湖地區的美妙情景. 當我們去玩了其中一個景點之後, 我們打算透過行動網路裝置 (希望在澎湖外島也能有收訊) 直接在現場就寫感想和把照片上傳至我們的部落格. 透過Live Blog 的方式,我們能跟大家多做一些互動. 當然,當天晚上時我們會再把當天精采影片上傳過去.

Team JR stands for Team Jason and Rebecca

A unique mixed-couple, the two met in Vancouver at the University of British Columbia's student-run dance club and started their relationship as ballroom dance partners. Soon after beginning their dance partnership, they entered into a romantic one and have enjoyed over two years together.

This year, team JR would like to plan and carry out a four-day tour of PENGHU, a remote paradise on the west coast of Taiwan, to explore unique and romantic places suitable for couples and families.

Rebecca, a native Canadian who loves Asian culture (and especially Taiwanese rice noodles!) went to Taiwan for the first time last Christmas to explore Jason’s homeland and to meet his extended family. Together, Rebecca and Jason embarked on a 10-day whole island tour, relying mainly on public transportation and scooter rentals to travel around. Rebecca was very impressed with the hospitality of the Taiwanese people, the scenery, and the amazing food (particularly at the night markets!). She enjoyed eating her first non-traditional Christmas dinner, which consisted of Ruodong’s night market snacks. She would like the world to know that yes, she CAN use chopsticks, so NO she does NOT need a fork :)

Jason is a native Taiwanese who came to Canada to pursue his dream as a digital artist and as an entrepreneur. He loves to travel and his organizational and artistic abilities combined with his keen sense of direction means he can plan wonderful trips, take beautiful photos and will never get lost! Single-handedly, Jason planned the 10-day island trip and took Rebecca on an unforgettable adventure; the two visited everything from temples to high-end department stores, spending time in southern, eastern, and northern Taiwan. This year, Jason would like to put his trip planning expertise to good use once again so he and Rebecca can explore the beautiful and romantic side of PENGHU.

We are planing to do a live blog during our 4 day journey, so after visiting certain places, we will use a wireless network or USB modem to connect to internet and upload our articles and photos on each places . In the evening, we will then upload the video we took in the day.
