台湾パスポートを持つ身としては、どこに行くにもほとんどビザが必要でかなり面倒。まーそれでも申請すれば取れるからいい方だとは思うけど。でも、思い立った時に旅行に行けなかったりと、やっぱり面倒。でも実は３月からイギリスにはビザ無しで行ける事が判明！色々とWikipediaで確認して初めて知った。。。そうなんだー！じゃあこれからはイギリスにいる友達に会いに気軽に行けるじゃん！しかし、それにしてもやっぱり国として認められてないから、下記地図を見ると、ビザ無しで行ける国はまだ数少ない。っていうか入国拒否されてる国さえもあるんだ。ちょっとショック。私が何したって言うのよ。。。 ToT
Having a Taiwanese passport makes it difficult for me to travel around. I've lived with it all my life but it really is a hassle. I still remember not being able to travel to London with my friends when I was in college in the US. We suddenly came up with the idea to go to London over the weekend but that's when I realized that I can't because I'd have to go to the British embassy and apply for a visa, which takes at least a week and there was no way I was going to get the visa by the weekend. So, I had to stay in Boston while my friends had a blast in London. That was pretty sad... But anyway, as I was reading up on Wikipedia, I found out that since March 2009, I can actually go to the UK without a visa! Hurray! I can go visit my friends more easily now :) However, the number of countries which I can go without a visa are still limited. And according to the map, there's even a country where entry is refused. What did I ever do to them... ToT
