They might try to drag me to eat that school dinners spaghetti known as jollybees. So I would say could be a bad thing…
Yeah same for me. Maybe we look like we’ve been here too long lol
Last time got back to Taiwan after a 12 year absence got on a city bus in Taipei and the driver spoke to me in Taiwanese ….yes I’m home I thought
I actually find the opposite to be true. Not all, but some Taiwanese people have a script. That script is = Foreigner only speak English. Taiwanese speak English to be ‘very helpful’ to foreigner. So even if you addressed them in perfectly good chinese, they will find it hard to change the script.
And then there is the opposite, some people, will speak to you in the most, slurred, lazy unintelligible local way possible. Which, you know, its fine but I just couldn’t imagine people doing that to foreigners back home.
And there’s the bag thing. The bloody bag gesture. It kills me.
In your case, it must be the tool belt I imagine you wearing to match your bear tooth necklace as you hop out of your little blue truck spattered with mountain mud. No license plate.

Not for dating. Unless you’re into divorced moms…
Why is that? Just curious.
That’s been most of my Tinder matches the past year

Taoyuan or Taichung sound like your kind of place.
You must have been in rural Nantou or Hualien if you think you saw ‘traditional Chinese culture’.
It’s true that Taipei is more expensive and there is more competition but there are also a lot more foreign-related jobs.
No one defaults to English with me in Taipei unless I am force to go somewhere like Taipei101. I doubt very much that living in Taipei will hinder you in improving your Mandarin.
Was wondering the same thing.
Which country is the person in and and going to be in? China or Taiwan? Or perhaps others like Singapore, Malaysia etc. If in proper rural Taiwan, one might think a person can see loads of Taiwan culture, aside from the Chinese culture. This shouldn’t be an issue here as people are very much welcoming.
A marriage type relationship is project. Life long commitment is a brainstorm of ideas and a push and pull. Extrapolated via a multicultural relationship, which should be viewed as a positive if marriage is to go forth. Meaning, need to go in open landed and flexible, but never a push over. Always base cultural differences on ethics. In my opinion.
It’s easy to fuck strangers in Taiwan. It’s also easy to marry strangers in Taiwan. What’s hard is a real self reflection and adjustment with commitment to a back and forth between 2 people. Then to find a partner willing to do so as well. Not easy, but worth the filtering process!
I see. I was wondering what made Kaohsiung special for divorced moms LOL
Divorced moms may be the best they already know what you want and they know how it’s done and are not shy about it in fact that’s why they are there most likely and they probably cook up a mean meal too
It’s a win / win with food provided
