親愛的台灣，在最後一天一個人旅行的旅程到數幾小時結束。我只能說，感謝再感謝🙏
我們看別人照片都會羨慕別人過的比自己好，這些「好」都是自己的想像，同理的「壞」也是自己的想像。這趟旅程我對「文化」有新的理解，「文化」必須含蓋「包容心」紐約是個大熔爐，城市地鐵老舊，非常不方便，吃東西也沒台灣便宜方便，這裡之所以又美又酷，是因為「包容」各式人種和文化，因為這是國際村，所以這裡貧富差距很大，也非常非常競爭。
台灣很美，人很單純，環境不像紐約這麼競爭，但是我們會忽略到，也許再很快未來的幾年，我們的城市要發展的快，首先必須要「包容」所有「文化」先撇開「好」「壞」這包容也包含「各國人民」所謂沒受教育，勞工鄉下人，有歐美人，和東南亞，中國大陸的人⋯⋯
撇開政府，政治方的視角，我們改用「人」去看待事情，就像紐約這樣的大城市，我們不看人種、國籍、性別、性向、年齡，而是看「人」，這「包容性」才是「文化」的根本之一。
用愛、用善、用光、用同理心、用包容為出發點去看世界。
Dear Taiwan,
I feel Grateful as my solo journey comes to an end in the last few hours. We often follow influencers on social media assuming they have a better lifestyle, we often envy others. Social media comparisons also cause anxiety.
I believe that a "good" lifestyle or a "bad" lifestyle are merely our own perspectives.
Throughout this journey, I have gained a new perspective on culture.
people from all over the world converged in New York City. I believe that accepting and understanding different cultures is a way of showing empathy. Although the subway system is old and quite dirty, the high inflation of food prices and the expensive accommodation costs are hard to tolerate compared to Taiwan.
However, New York remains the coolest city in the world because people here embrace a diversity of cultures, making this city full of possibilities and creativity. On the other hand, people who move here tend to have an American dream. We can see the gap between the rich and the poor, and feel the stress and competitive energy in the city.
Taiwan is a beautiful island, and Taiwanese people are known for their friendliness and sincerity. Working in Taipei City is not as competitive as working in New York, and the cost of living is much cheaper. However, we might overlook the development of our city. Hopefully, in the near future, Taiwan can become an international city like New York. To do so, we must embrace all different cultures.
I like Martin Luther King's speech, he said: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character.”We need to widen our perspective. Embraceing people from different nationalities, backgrounds, and cultures, even those from rural areas who may not have had the chance to receive education, or those who believe in different political and religious beliefs. We are all the same, we are human beings. There is no inherently good or bad, it’s just how we perceive the world.
We don’t look at the race , nationality, gender, sexual orientation, or age;we can perceive the world with love, kindness, empathy. Those are the fundamental of cultural values and beliefs.
