Ahhh yes, my father!!!
Iām often perceived as rude, too, because I say what I want and donāt follow strict bourgeois etiquette. Hence, Iām not frequently invited to dinner parties.

Do you make everyone replicate your Christmas traditions and ignore everyone elseās and do things like lay down on the entire couch leaving your hosts to sit on the ground?
I was always told to behave as a guest and not be a problem. Maybe others never get taught this lesson. The person Iām talking about is alright as a friend you meet. Terrible as a house guest living in. Now I know that.

Nah. Iām not that bad. I usually pass out on the floor instead of the sofa as a courtesy to my hosts.

Happy Boxing Day! Traditionally, this was the day when, having spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with relatives, you couldnāt stand it anymore and headed out to party with your friends.
I was glad to see this great custom carried on. Back in the old days Taitung only had one bar/disco (Amigos!), and it was usually pretty empty, as everybody fled town when they turned 18, either to university or for jobs in the big city. On the third day of Chinese New Year, it was packed with 20-somethings (especially gays) who had come home for the holiday and had enough of grandparents and aunts and uncles asking āso why arenāt you married yet?ā
Guests can be uninvited.
Wouldnāt have been an issue for very long in my home!
