Well if you forget about the rich kids. The average teen down here seems to be in a scooter gang, getting drunk on 7 - 11 booze, and finding ways to make a quick buck, smoking too much and having sex.
Just like any other country. I don’t know where they get this study stuff from.
Oh wait… the 5 % who can afford a whitey to teach them and therefore that 5% represents everybody in Taiwan because those are the only kids they meet.
I’d say it’s a bit more than 5%, wouldn’t you?

That one is actually cool. It always brings a smile to my face.[/quote]
Me too. I was just sayin’, is all… 
[quote=“mike029”][quote=“twonavels”]Plenty to do that is non-computer. Wandering around Ximen with friends, or going there to skateboard/watch movies/check out street-bands and dancers. Also, hanging out by the Taipei Main Station to check out the dancing, even though they’re not all that. Many kids also like to go to places like Luxy and Room18, but you’re not really supposed to until you’re 18. Kids always find a way around that, though. Going to the beach is also pretty nice right now with summer and all that.
It will probably depend on what your friend is like, who they know, and what they’re allowed to do.[/quote]
Yeah, I forgot about those awful dance groups (the equivalent of a 8 year old’s hip hop class) that practice all over the place…too bad that carries over into Uni too. At least they’re having fun though, and not doing coke somewhere like my high school classmates, so that’s good, I guess…but it’s just painful to watch sometimes. I’m 22, so high school wasn’t that long ago for me, but I don’t remember any one of my classmates gathering to practice horrible dance choreography in the metro station at such a bad level after watching Step Up 2.[/quote]
And the point is??? You are better than the TW youth??? Fair enough.
