A Glimpse into the Story

Eimi, who loves foreign countries so much that she travels abroad every year, will stay in the Australian city of Brisbane for a year on a working holiday. She felt that living in the country was more enjoyable than she imagined and wanted to extend her stay, so she decided to obtain a ``second visa,'' which allows her to stay for up to two years by continuing to work at a ``farm'' for more than 80 days. However, what awaited Amy was a harsh working environment where she had to work more than 10 hours every day with no days off.
