My eyes and hair became black. I shrunk by a few inches. My skin darkened to caramel. I now find myself riding my scooter down Miaoli City with a cigarette in one hand and Binlang in my mouth. I lost the ability to speak English and can now only read and write. My mother is about to move in so I can fund her retirement while I work minimum wage. I find myself becoming obsessed with the US and think the US is the highest standard of a country.
I am unrecognisable to people who knew me before I became Taiwanese
