Seasons in the Park 的意外相遇在溫哥華美麗的 Seasons in the Park 餐廳酒吧，意外遇見了來自加拿大的 Brian Houghton。
他熱情地用手機相片介紹了他在哥斯大黎加海邊經營的酒店，我則分享了台灣的產業故事：從全球領先的晶片、AI 伺服器製造，到十九世紀曾經改變世界產業版圖的台灣樟腦。
Brian 聽得津津有味，直說大開眼界，還特別請我喝一杯當地的 Chardonnay，並遞上名片，期待未來能聽我分享更多關於台灣的故事。
文化交流往往就從這樣一場愉快的對話開始，Cheers！
Sometimes the most memorable moments happen when you least expect them.
Today at the bar of Seasons in the Park in Vancouver, I had the pleasure of meeting Brian Houghton. Over a glass of local Chardonnay, we struck up a conversation that quickly turned into a delightful exchange of stories.
Brian showed me photos of his beautiful seaside hotel in Costa Rica, and in return, I shared stories about Taiwan — from our world-leading semiconductor and AI server industries, to a lesser-known chapter of history: how Taiwanese camphor once played a key role in the global industry during the 19th century.
Brian was fascinated and told me the stories opened his eyes to a side of Taiwan he had never known. He kindly treated me to a glass of wine and handed me his business card, expressing a keen interest in hearing more about Taiwan in the future.
Encounters like this remind me how powerful storytelling can be in connecting people and cultures. I look forward to continuing this dialogue and sharing more stories of Taiwan with friends around the world.
