「味的旅行」帶給你什麼啟發？ 請詳細敍述。
Did the trip inspire you in any respect? Please describe it in detail.

Did the trip inspire me ... It inspired me to help spread Taiwan's amazingness and to come back more often. I won't lie, Taiwan never was very fun for me before, always hanging out with my younger cousins and my relatives really puts a drag on your vacation, and in fact, I begged my parents many times not to come back to Taiwan or at least not to bring me along. However, there are two factors this time that has changed my mind. I now have Taiwanese friends that I can perhaps meet up with. This is important because anyone, despite wherever they are and whatever age, wants to have someone that they can communicate to on a similar level. To me, my relatives cannot and therefore Taiwan has always been a bore to me. (not to mention it's excruciating temperatures). However, now that I have made some friends, it would be nice to be able to meet up with them and enjoy what Taiwan has to offer (both city-wise and nature-wise). Secondly, Taiwan could use a serious boost in it's tourism industry, and it really is up to us, expatriates, to help in that regard. Perhaps I am simply a nobody, but every little effort counts, and I can undoubtely bring my friends to Taiwan to show them around and they would probably have a great time as well. Especially now that I know Taipei fairy well (at least to an extent)

The trip inspires me to make an effort to stay in touch with everyone.

Meeting up the youth from all over the world totally changed my perspective towards many things. For example how they see things, how they think, their education, their background. This is what makes this trip so memorable.

The trip inspired me to travel more abroad in order to see the differences that exist in the people and lifestyle of people in different countries.

I think this trip has inspired me to appreciate Taiwan’s less populated areas more. Before, I only saw the larger cities and I thought that there was nothing of interest outside of them. After Taroko National Park and the Sun-Moon Lake, however, I appreciate the land more.

The trip inspired me to reconsider the simple vs. the technological life. Before, I assumed that technology is a necessity and must be improved, but now I realize that the simple life can be just as fulfilling.

Yes, the places we visited were the main inspiration for the movie my group shot for the final presentation. The general theme of the trip – to recapture your heritage and culture – was translated into a love story that described a broken heart trying to recapture his lost love.

No.

It definitely inspired me to make new friends and see how we can leverage Taiwan's resources for other countries, particularly the familial treatment of others. I'm not sure how that sort of thing (friendliness) can be translated to other countries, but it is certainly an interesting concept to try.

This trip inspired me to do things for others...help others...I was always thinking of some way to help others, but never thought of something that i can do!!! And i just forgot about it...and then after going the tea farm i started to think again...to help others...and in the meeting with the writer...he said that we are nobody...and not to worry about us...cause have so many people hungry in the world...and i just agree with him...and started to think about what can i do to help this situation...and i know that i cant change the world...but i cann help few ppl...and i will start in my hometown.

Yes, it did. I feel Taiwan is so special by mountain, nature, and people !!!

Yes-looking at all of the eco-communities, villages, and tea farm (in particular), I realized that these people have devoted their lives to better a purpose, and will go to whatever lengths (such as uprooting older trees, or pulling out nails from old furniture) to ensure the best quality product. I hope to become more passionate about the things I do, and to find a greater purpose in the things that I do.
Also, through meeting so many outstanding students, I’ve become inspired to become a better and more informed person, who can “play hard” while still “working hard.” I think I’ve learned a lot about myself, while being able to see who I want to become.

There are places like 社區 where people live in peace and harmony. These communities suffer from many problems such as lack of resources and youth quitting the community. Yet, it is still very heart touching to see the effort they put in order to preserve the place as natural as they could as well as keeping vivacity of the community .

Yes the trip inspired me to return to Taiwan and learn as much as I can about Taiwan. The great food that we had is more than enough a reason to return, while the multifaceted cultural aspects allow for endless exploration.

Realized how much Taiwan has to offer, both in the countryside and in the city. More willing to come back to find friends and show friends Taiwan or work in Taiwan

The trip has inspired me to explore more of the rural communities of Taiwan. Whenever I visit Taiwan I am often stuck in Taipei, and would like to escape more.

認識很多朋友!!!尤其是外國朋友!!!看到別人的眼中是怎麼看台灣的。

台灣這塊土地因為歷史背景與生活環境產生多元文化，在每一個不同的區域都有努力的人們在為自己的生活及傳統打拼，希望可以留下一些不管是對國家還是對土地的奉獻，不管是用什麼形式，這些屬於在地的精神都應該被發揚，而我們這群出走的年輕人，也應該想想可以回饋給自己的家鄉什麼？
或許這趟旅程的體驗可能還不夠深刻（每一個停留的點可能還是匆促，或關於解說內容或實際生活的瞭解等等），但慶幸的是相較於國外的夥伴我還可以有很多機會從各方面蒐集不同的資訊或是再次造訪，藉由每一次不同的機會，去看看土地的變化。

雖然這次體驗的不僅是食物，但是食物還是佔了相當大的一部份。台灣的早餐五花八門，下次可以加入幾天的早餐。至於其他的味覺，例如音樂跟舞蹈。希望下次營歌和舞蹈教唱，讓彼此有個共通的回憶。

味的旅行給我看到了另一面的台灣，以前，我們所知道的台灣都是比較片面的，我想許多外國人都會這樣。其實台灣有很溫馨和可愛的一面，從人到大自然、從美食到融入當地文化，我們看到了台灣的強韌生命力。給我的啟發是，其實人是可以和大自然以及不同的族群和平共處。

這次旅行給我最大的啟發是Study hard, play harder!!!看到很多伙伴，雖然玩的很瘋，但還是很努力的做出好作品，讓我很感動，覺得自己要更努力，也成為我回去之後寫論文還有讀書的動力！！我喜歡努力之後瘋狂之後的「味道」。

台灣真是美食的天堂。

味的旅行讓我感到學習是無止盡的，人是可以溫暖的，國是需要用心經營和被愛的。

讓我明白"味"不是只有"味覺的味" ,還有所謂的台灣味,是我看的到的,我聞的到的,我聽的到的.我摸的到的,

住在台灣卻一點都不了解台灣，甚至是連我居住的地方「台南」都讓我覺得很陌生。當我忙碌的過生活時，卻忘了用心體會生活中所發生的事情，忽略了生活中的事物。如果沒有這一次機會，我不會這麼認真的去看台灣，這一個我居住的地方。

所謂的味道，決不只是食物上的味道，從料理食物的用心上，衍生出來的卻又是一種不一樣的味道)每一種小吃(背後的故事及過程)。是"心"的味道！所以凡事絕對不能只看表面，世界上的所有事情，都是要用腦思考和用心去体會的，不管遇到任何事或人，只要用心都能編織出很美麗的故事。

台灣雖然是個小島國, 但是島上的人文風景資源相當豐富, 台灣不是只有台北這個城市值得一看, 有很多小鄉鎮也別有一番風味, 有機會一定要親自走訪一遍.

味的旅行，隱含著移民的心酸，參雜著無數地方與食用者的故事，融和後全新的口感，更像族群間交互後共創的台灣經驗。我重新思考「道地」的台灣味究竟是什麼，發現有些是難以定義的，而台灣人吃的故事早在原住民的時代已經展開，而我們現在所品嘗到的野菜滋味，卻也再再地顯示出了漢人烹煮料理的方式、迎合觀光客的口味等等，像台灣的文化是不斷改變、波動的過程，食的口感也讓我們各自不同人的經驗去重新詮釋。
