时间对我来说真的过得很快，也许是因为我100%在家工作？？？从8月份订机票去台湾和日本算起，已经过去两个多月了。之后我订了7家酒店，JR通票，还有往返机场的租车服务。再过两周我就要出国旅游去台北和日本了，好兴奋啊！！！

Time goes really fast to me, maybe because I work 100% home??? From the day I booked my air ticket to travel to Taiwan and Japan in August, it’s been passed over two months. After that, I booked 7 hotels, JR pass, also the rental cars to and from Airport. Two more weeks I will travel abroad to Taipei and Japan, how exciting!!!
为了准备这次出国旅行，我和旅伴见了很多次面。 一开始我们是说参加当地的旅游团去国外旅游，但后来我们改变了主意，决定自己去旅行。我们觉得我们会享受更多 - 住更好的酒店，品尝更多当地美食，以更慢的节奏游览这些地方，甚至花更多的时间学习他们的文化。

To prepare for this overseas trip, I had met with my travel buddy many times. At the beginning, we were talking about to join the local tour to travel abroad, but then we changed our minds and decided to travel by ourselves. We felt like we would enjoy more - stay in better hotels, taste more local foods, visit the places in slower pace, and even spend more time learning their cultures.
当然，自己去国外旅行和在美国旅行不同。我们必须制定如何到达众多目的地的计划。幸运的是，我们从 YouTuber 了解到，台湾和日本的交通效率最高。我们可以乘坐高铁前往不同的城市，乘坐地铁和公交车前往当地，乘坐Uber和出租车前往短距离地区。是的，这不像美国，我可以开车去任何地方，但对于很少使用公共交通的人来说，这可能是一个很好的体验。
Of course, traveling by ourselves to foreign countries is not like traveling in US. We have to come out the plans how to get to our many destinations. Luckily, we learn from YouTuber that Taiwan and Japan have the most efficiency transportation. We can take high speed rail to different cities, subways and buses to local, Uber and taxi to short distances areas. Yes, it’s not like US that I can drive everywhere, but it may be a good experience for someone hardly use public transportation.
还有两周时间，我们连JR通票都买好了。我不常上Facebook，但有一天我看到那里有一张JR通票的广告。 JR通票价格将从2023年10月1日起上涨70%，因此建议未来三个月内前往日本的人购买该优惠券。我们两个人节省了超过 274 美元，不错！
Only two more weeks to go, we even bought the JR pass already. I didn’t go to Facebook that often, but one day I saw an advertisement of JR pass there. JR pass price would increase 70% from October 1st, 2023, so it recommended someone who traveled to Japan within the next three months to buy the voucher. Two of us saved over $274, not bad!
去国外旅行总是令人兴奋的。时间越来越近，我们已经开始收拾行李了。希望我们玩得开心，旅途平安。当然，我会在这里与大家分享我的旅行经历和很多照片。
It’s always exciting traveling to foreign countries. Time is getting closer and closer. We already started packing our luggage. Hope we have good time and have a safe trip. For sure, I will share my travel experience and a lot of pictures here with you.
