I guess they ordered it for each other.
We all have to do our bit in these times.
My bit will be to never use those metal tables for anything!

Some old singlet-wearer, a fortnight or so ago, that weekend it was warm before it cooled off again, sneezed into my ear, with no attempt at mouth coverage. I would estimate he was about 40-50cm from me.
Fair play, I’ll get him next time maybe.
Maybe they know the best places for the best prices and high CP.
Maybe they all just meet up to bitch about the job.
Or maybe they share information about where the prettiest girls live 
Signs you’ve been in Taiwan too long… 
Expensive breakfast!
Ha, wearing gloves to service people, brilliant. But, if you actually touch your face and go through your hair with them, no use!
Do you ever get on an elevator and think somebody farted before you got on?
Today it was me.
I was almost embarrassed so I got off the elevator as soon as possible and took the stairs.
I hate does dirty gloves!
It’s not unusual for me to wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and go to work to start on paperwork and other class preparation. The only thing open at that hour is McDonald’s. I think this is the second time in a year that I’ve heard Macdonalds play pretty hardcore Christian praise and worship music. Both orchestral and with English lyrics. Not really wack in a sense, but obviously they have no idea what they’re playing and nobody has any problem with it. I can’t see this going down anywhere else in the world.
Like this:
Or do they? Why would you say that? Do you know those people? Do you know the owner of that particular franchise?
Fair enough. I don’t know. It’s a simple observation.
- The staff didn’t speak or try to speak English, so I thought it seemed rather an arbitrary choice of soundtrack.
- Wack in comparison to ultra sensitive Western mentalities, I suppose.
Not that franchise. But I know other business owners that have mentioned that they need to be extra careful to avoid playing religious music of any kind.
However, it does seem Macdonald franchisees have a lot of freedom (eg., “no black people allowed” signs in China).
The inspirational music did seem fitting the times. And the place was totally empty (except for the staff and me).
Can’t say it was due to ignorance, but I’ve heard English Christian praise/worship played at other places where I’ve asked if they knew what they were playing and they (owners) had no idea. So, nonetheless, was an unexpected experience.
It was meant to be an interesting observation, not a debate on franchisee music freedoms. I still feel it was odd, but not in a bad way.
I’m not trying to debate with you. However, I do know that there are quite a few gung-ho Christian business owners that are Taiwanese that do not shy away from playing Christian music in their stores.
I’m guessing some establishments know they’re playing Christian music and some don’t know they’re playing Christian music.
What percentage of each who knows.
Some may not care and some may care and some don’t even understand the music but they like it.
More power to 'em. You could well be right, since it’s not the standard content you’d find randomly online or on a rack of discount CDs. A tasteful mix of hymns and contemporary praise.
Sort of related.
I was recently at 7-Eleven having a refreshment and a mute guy sat down and was signing to me for a while about life.

Then he started to show me pictures of Jesus and asking me if I know him. That teenage girl heart hand signal really came in handy when I put it over my heart.

Quite a contrast from the MILF+ woman trying to proposition me at NT$1000 at 8 a.m. the same morning.
Jesus love is free,
until you meet a prosperity preacher,
and a womans love is NT$1000,
until you meet a prosperity reacher.
Surprised I haven’t seen this more often. Those deep gutters on mountain roads especially, hard to see.
