When someone is talking to you and their breath is like a 3 day old bin bag and you have to pretend you are constantly itching your nose as not to smell it. Why is there so much bad breath here?
That the only food you seem to see is either fried, fried, fried (nice and healthy) or noodles. That is why I cook most of my own healthy food.
That all taiwanese say that their food is the most delicious food on the planet when it is clearly not. I would rather eat camel shit than some of the food here.
That they won’t talk about controversial things.
When someone has been involved in an accident on the road they ignore it.
Seem obsessed with shopping or money.
That they constantly wonder why I have no desire(at present) to ever get married, and always assume I have about 20 girlfriends.
The joke that is the police force.
Foreigners going native when they will NEVER be seen as a local.
But I love watching what I can say is like the ‘Saigon air lift’ (- when the last US helicopter left the embassy in saigon and everyone was scrambling to get on it - if you have seen that you will know what I mean) when people fight to get a seat on a bus.
But why do they Q on the MRT and not the buses?
And about another few hundred things that have been mentioned on already.
But I found the longer I’ve been here the more I’ve become used to some of the craziness here.
