第一門課──社會地理學

終於完成第一門課了，為期8個星期的社會地理學，其實完全就是社會學，算是彌補了大學不曾上過社會學課的遺憾。

瑞典北方兩個月

已經來到日出日落間隔短於十二小時的日子了。這幾天傍晚五點前日落，早上八點起床時外面天空卻不怎麼亮，原來七點四五十才剛日出...

The plight of foreign labor in Taiwan

This article is my assignment for the course "Sweden's Social Geography". We need to pick up one phenomenon and analyze by ourselves in a viewpoint of social geographer. My topic is about the bad environment that foreign labors face in Taiwan. This is my first time to share my own writing which is not my profession (chemistry). Quite anxious about that, but I am really willing to share this issue with my friends who doesn't live in Taiwan.

Also, I found a documentary about this topic made by Alex Wolfgram, who studied master program in Taiwan, and this issue is his topic. He did not want the issue to be forgotten by people after his graduation, so he and his friend made this video in 2014. I will put the YouTube video below the article.

I may make some mistakes. If you find that, please feel free to leave message to me. :-)

Fika? 如何平衡工作與生活

秋天到了。

來到瑞典以後，生活步調整個慢了下來。最驚訝的莫過於剛來時發現他們很多工作的工時真的就是剛剛好八小時，學校單位負責的國際生業務的是下午四點或五點準時結束，外面的公家單位也是很準時，商店開門時間也是標準的 10-18 ，腳踏車店也是五點以後就關門。我們剛到的第一個星期還在調侃說，這麼悠閒，房子要蓋很久才會蓋好，難怪在 Umeå 申請房屋住宿通常要等一年左右才排的到！

真的是一種吃不到葡萄，說葡萄酸的心理。
