💝前言 Introduction💝
This weekend we held our first major Taipei Steemit Meetup, attended by 10 Steemians. Steemit has developed into a close knit community linking people from all walks of live around the world. We know a lot about one another through our posts, but meeting in person is not always easy. Despite that, quite a few locations around the world have already met up, and in Asia alone, there have been meetups in places such as at Hong Kong, Shanghai, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia etc.
The planning for our meetup started a few weeks ago when our resident designer 
期待已久的第一次Steemit台北大型聚會終於敲開序幕。Steemit在世界各地逐漸發展成會員關係緊密的社群團體，大家雖然在網路上認識，但是經由文章的交流成為談得來的好朋友，因此各個地區的聚會不斷舉辦。光是亞洲地區就有香港、上海、韓國、印尼、菲律賓等地的聚會。
這次的台北聚會籌備已久，終於確定我們訂製的Steemit T恤製作完成，從一個星期前，台灣的Steemit用戶們就蠢蠢欲動，止不住的興奮情緒逐漸蔓延開來，到了今天，興奮的情緒有了出口，終於要跟這群網路上相知相惜的好朋友面對面話家常了。

💝神秘嘉賓 Mystery Guest💝
To mark this special occasion, we wanted to give you guys a surprise, so invited a mystery guest to join us. Can you guess who that is? Drum roll please ..... please give a big round of applause and welcome the lovely
Although this was supposed to be a surprise, a certain W member had leaked the news to some other Steemians, now we know why he is so popular on Steemit!
這次的聚會，我們有個超級神秘嘉賓，大家都非常喜愛的甜心妹妹恰巧趕上我們聚會的時間來到台北旅遊，當然要來跟眾多粉絲見見面啦！（說到這裡，大家當然要掌聲迎接，歡呼尖叫聲也不嫌多）
說是神祕嘉賓，據說已經有碎嘴W把消息大喇叭放送出去了。我才明白，人緣這麼好的秘密原來是拿消息來換人情哪！嘖嘖～
Look at the guys in the photo, they all look so cool and calm now, but you should have seen them when
瞧瞧這群男生！臉上藏不住心底的小鹿亂撞哪！
This meetup was a first for everyone include our mystery guest, but it felt like we had all known each other for ages and hit off immediately. Since you couldn't be here with us, let me introduce you to everyone and share some special moments with you.
據說甜心妹妹第一次的線下聚會就獻給了台灣聚會了，何其榮幸哪！得以與可愛的甜心妹妹同桌聊天，連我這個姊字輩的都覺得無比興奮，也難怪男士們開心到無法自持。
💝台灣區第一美女The legendary Dean Beauty💝
Those who read about our last mini Taiwan meetup would have noticed that our legendary Dean Beauty 
除了我們的神祕嘉賓之外，萬眾矚目的應該是從上次4人微型聚會之後大家就敲碗期待的劉美女

No, I'm not kidding you guys!
When we were organizing our t-shirts, Dean Beauty ordered a child's size t-shirt. We were all a bit confused as to how come a child could write so many great posts and offer profound advice to us newbies on Steemit. Dean Beauty really liked to keep us in suspense with his/her real identity!
So Dean Beauty's real identity still remains a mystery to everyone!
And don't blame me. Our legendary Dean Beauty isn't called a legend for no reason, he/she doesn't easily grace everyone with an audience!
什麼?! 我耍你們！冤枉呀！
從T恤訂製時，劉美女訂的就是一件五歲小孩的衣服。你問一個五歲小孩怎麼能寫出這麼多詞藻優美情感豐富的文章？你們是沒看過名偵探柯南嗎？小孩子的潛力不容小覷啊！
劉美女是男是女尚且撲朔迷離，這下連年紀都成謎了！
不能怪我啊！台灣第一美女的稱號可不是浪得虛名，哪能那麼容易讓你們一睹芳容？
💝實況轉播 Live Broadcast💝
Now I've introduced you to our two master Steemians, let's move onto our actual meetup.
兩位重量級人物介紹完畢，接下來就跟著Teresa來參加今天熱鬧的台灣聚會吧！

Our meetup venue was at Le Ble D'Or at Eslite Xinyi Store in Taipei. This restaurant is famous for brewing its own beer, and I think it had quite a German/Alps feel inside. The waiters were dressed in traditional costumes from the region, or at least that's what I think they looked like. It's a fantastic place for gatherings like ours, and nobody seemed to mind when we got a bit over excited and rowdy.
我們這次聚會的地點是信義誠品地下1樓的金色三麥，這家餐廳的特色是自家釀製的啤酒，甚至餐點都會以啤酒入菜。環境裝潢是歐式磚牆加上水晶吊燈，採用半開放的隔間，營造出酒吧輕鬆的氣氛，非常適合聚餐聊天，大聲談笑都不會被鄰桌白眼。
Our group has a couple of gourmet experts, so I'm not going to share a lot of food photos with you here, but here's a taster.
台灣用戶裡面有幾位專業吃貨，所以餐點的部分我就不在此贅述，說不定沒多久大家就會被金色三麥的吃吃文淹沒。
不要怪我沒有給大家福利，這裏我還是先po一張照片讓大家先解解饞。

And cheers!!! Hurry up and take the photos please, the glass is really heavy!!!
啤酒是金色三麥的特色，當然要來上一杯。嗯..... 這也..... 太大杯了吧？

💝台北社群聚會的成員 Introducing our attendees💝
All of us come from a diverse and cosmopolitan background, and many of us post bilingual in Chinese and English, helping to bridge the CN community with the rest of the non Chinese speaking Steemit community.
Furthermore, out of the 10 of us 3 have a reputation of over 70. That's quite something on Steemit, so thanks guys for looking after us minnows.
這次參加台北聚會的成員來自世界各地，大部份的成員都有不錯的英文底子，可以撰寫雙語的文章，與世界各地Steemit會員進行很好的溝通。
今天參加聚會的10位成員中，就有3位是reputation >70的資深社員，多謝他們帶領著新人們一起成長。

Before I introduce each of us, let me show you this video first so you will know who is who. By the way, please don't mind Teresa, she's had a few and is a bit excited, I really had difficulty controlling her!
大家從video可以看到Teresa神經大條的一面，攝影機對著我時，我還是把補光燈對著別人。沒辦法，我就是這麼一個照亮別人
犧牲自己的人（噁～）
During our self introduction ice breaker round, he was the only person who shamelessly gave himself a round of applause, and we all naturally followed suit, you should have seen the smug on his face when he succeeded in getting a round of applause from everyone.
@Wilkinshui 他來自香港，根據他的說法，他是全公司最自由的人。通常公司除了老闆之外，還有誰有這樣的特別待遇呢？難道是...... 老闆的小三？難怪要千里迢迢離開香港留在異鄉工作，辛苦哂你～
哈哈！開玩笑啦！誰叫你寫那麼多吃吃文，讓人以為你從早到晚都在吃。不過除了吃之外，Wilkin對於虛擬貨幣可是很有自己看法的，大家可以從他的文章中學到很多相關知識。
他是唯一在自我介紹時自帶掌聲的人，而大家也都著魔般跟著鼓掌。擁有這種自帶光環的影響力，難怪當天被甜心妹妹稱讚是最佳娛樂節目主持人。
Pettren currently works in his family owned art gallery, check out his post if you are an art lover.
由於在畫廊工作累積的知識，他早期寫了不少名畫的評論，有興趣的朋友可以去看看。
He grew up in Canada and came back to Taiwan after graduating from university.
To say photography is Aaron's hobby is a bit of an understatement, his works on Steemit is definitely at a professional level. If you haven't seen his works, I urge to go there now
(not now now, but after you finished reading this post).
Lydia自稱是個平凡的上班族，不過我們發現她跟
嘿！你們公司要是還有涼缺記得通知一下。（喔！說錯了，不是涼缺，是「肥」涼缺！）
(Did I mention Teresa and I volunteered to write up this post so we could get more airtime to promote our site? Please visit
Apart from blogging about her foodie and travel journeys, Teresa often post great tips on how to make simple graphics that you can use on your site.
（某某：你怎麼偷打廣告？ 貓女：這是我寫聚會文的特權，不服氣咬我啊！）
我的文章除了介紹美食旅遊之外，還希望能跟大家分享很多生活上的小撇步，以及將我的專業知識用最淺顯的方式分享給大家，讓大家也能學到一些可以簡單運用的實用技巧。
Last and not the least is 
Alvin is a bit of an expert on cryptocurrency and investment, seems like
不過我想經過這次的聚會，他應該會比較常來CN區走走逛逛。
Alvin對於虛擬幣的投資有相當成熟的見解與投資經驗，經過今天的聚會，大家已經迫不急待排隊要私下跟他約時間討教了。
💝未來的展望 Future outlook 💝
Our meetup lasted throughout the whole afternoon as we had so much to talk about including ideas on how to help develop Steemit. The UK team led by 
Another thing that we could look to do is to help upvote Steemians from the developing countries, as a couple of $ for their post would mean a lot to them and help out their families.
Compared to Steemians from the more developed countries, they may not think much of say 50 Steem for a post. So if we could focus on quality posts from Steemians in developing countries we could hopefully help to grow Steemit exponentially, making this a better community for everyone.
Teresa said starting today she's going to Africa to spread the love. Hey guys, can you see the halo above her?
這次的聚會時間長達5小時，聊到都忘了時間。不要以為大家只是閒嗑牙，我們還聊到了一些台灣區及Steemit平台未來的發展。例如有人提到可以到大學校園或年輕人較常出沒的地區去推廣Steemit等。
其中最令我動容的是Alvin提到很多非洲或其他發展中國家的用戶，費盡千辛萬苦上網寫了文章，只要能得到1~2塊美金，就是他們很重要的生活來源，因此他們特別珍惜感恩。
而相較其他生活水平較高的國家，一篇文章得到50Steem的收益，可能還覺得太少不屑一顧。若是我們能分些精力照顧點讚這些用戶中的優質文章，他們從Steemit上面就可以賺到全家溫飽，如此一來一定可以吸引更多用戶來加入。 Steemit的總用戶若能超過百萬以上，應該可以順利引起關注，吸引廣告主挹注，到時Steemit的幣值更容易可以風生水起，相信這是大家所樂見的。
Teresa決定從今天起要去非洲散播歡樂散播愛啦！哈哈！其實就是舉手之勞，點個讚幫幫這些需要幫助的人。
We also discussed the possibilities of co-operative postings, how the experienced Steemians can help newbies find their feet in this complex world, and basically growing Steemit. There are technical issues that needs to be resolved first, but I think we're on a good start here. Watch this space.
另外，我們還討論了以後可以安排合作發文的點子，透過共同主題發文的方式，人氣高的前輩拉抬尚未受到關注的新人，讓大家能夠快點在Steemit站穩腳步，再吸引更多的用戶來Steemit一起共同成長。雖然還有些技術上的問題需要克服，但是大家有了初步的共識要共同解決，希望很快就能看到我們有好的合作點子推出，敬請期待。
