What are the most common questions you're asked everyday in Taiwan?

你們外國人很會喝酒吧。

Because I don’t answer the first 3 questions of where are you from and how long have you been in Taiwan and what are you doing here I don’t get any more questions. Except occasionally the first question is “are you a foreigner?” (In Chinese) To which I always answer “no I am a Taiwanese” (in Chinese).

Everything said in Chinese when ordering a coffee… except “sugar?”!! I guess a lot of people just know this one word in English.

Do ever get the follow-up “what do you think of Taiwanese women?”

I never know how to answer that.

I don’t even need to ask: you must be a computer programmer.

Is that short for Delbert? :thinking:

Do you have one-night stands?
Do you throw your parents into a rest home when they’re old?

Deleted.

You should post about your work experience here more.

Well, with your username, I’m not surprised at all.
:wink:

Is your wife Mexican? Or maybe you’re aboriginal yourself? Those are the same people.

I’m ethnically Taiwanese, and I got this question online when they saw pictures of my nieces.

They love to ask if your kids are mixed.

“I heard all Americans are fat, so why aren’t you fat?”

“Why did you come to Taiwan?”
For work.
“Yeah, but WHY Taiwan?”

The first question is so stupid that I just look at them and not respond.
Second question just makes me wonder why they can’t think of any nice things about their own country.

It’s a southern thing. A lot of the older southerners such as in Kaohsiung and Tainan still say that.

Do you like to eat McDonald’s? All foreigners like McDonald’s
Do you like Taiwanese food? 對 Which kinds?
The odd time having an older man trying to set me up with his 40 year old unmarried daughter (happened a handful of times)
Random people asking for me to tutor them or their kid, even when I’m relaxing at a hot spring

I think I have a face that says, please come talk to me
