An Indonesian girl who works at a breakfast shop in Jakarta says her dream is to work in Taiwan to make a better living for her family.
Turinih is a 20-year old who has been in the news in Indonesia recently due to her good looks. She and her sister have been selling breakfast food for six months and only make 50,000 Indonesian rupiah (less than US$5) a day.
Turinih’s sister had previously worked in Taiwan as a caregiver for 3 years. Turinih said she knows the pay in Taiwan is good. Besides, she said Taiwanese people are friendly to foreign workers. She said her sister used to send her pictures of Taiwan. She saw pictures of the Taipei 101 skyscraper which she thought is a very majestic building. She said she hopes to work in Taiwan and visit all the beautiful sites.
Turinih has already sent in her applications for a job in Taiwan. Her papers are now waiting to be reviewed.
