This person is very new . I can tell. Aus and sa has sports infiltrated into their culture. About exercise.. it’s here.. but just not in sports teams.. 😊
Taiwanese are not all Chinese ethnically (technically, "Chinese" isn't an ethnicity, but that's another thing). Taiwanese are mixed with many different Asian and Pacific Islander ethnicities, but it's just difficult to tell since they are all Asian looking ethnicities. 😂
Haha, they speak English to u was trying to be polite n helpful, didn't think about it would be a good opportunity for u to practices ur Mandarin. Next time just ask them to speak Mandarin with u!😊
but not to worry, Taiwan is a progressive society, and they're in a sharp demographic decline. The government may slowly open up to naturalization of foreign residents. Give it time. 😅😊
Taiwan is nicknamed the "living hell" for its horrendous traffic conditions. Then again, Australia is like 200x bigger than Taiwan and Taiwan is also one of the most industrialized nations on earth. So, I'm not sure if the traffic conditions could ever be fixed if ever.
I think the main problem is the definition of the word of Foreigner, for people from other countries and Chinese/ Taiwanese are different ！！ For people from countriess than Taiwan think a foreigner is excluded, not being respected and discriminated, but for Taiwanese or Chinese we don't think that way. The word simply means people from other countries！ I really think that's not so important that local people always regard you as a foreigner according to your appearance, more important is that how the locals treat you. If they treat you like a friend , accept you as a friend, treat you even as a family, I think that's what foreign people should care about the most. Most Taiwanese females are really not into sports！😂 if you spend your leisure time mostly in sports, unfortunately, that's really hard to make Taiwanese female friends, I believe.
She said that because there is a foreigner there is a barrier. That is the point. It is difficult for foreigners to make close friends because Taiwanese are so focused on differences instead of recognizing people are all pretty much the same everywhere.
Why do you need walk so fast in your daily life ? Think aboout it ? You walk so fast in order to save may be 5 or 10 mins, so what? That 5 or 10 mins in your whole life will make you different? make you richer? make you happier? Life is short, stop your steps, feel your life!
Taiwan is not Chinese.(華人) Taiwan is Taiwanese.(臺人) The Republic of China is still in Taiwan. Taiwan is not the Republic of China. Taiwan is not the People's Republic of China either. Taiwan is a country.
Perfectly put, in a nutshell. I can't stress your point enough. 👍👍 This is a fact that made Taiwan such a complicated entity for the Chinese on the mainland (no thanks to communist nationalist indoctrination) and other foreign outsiders to even wrap their heads around. The exiled ROC government is one thing (remember that they escaped annihilation by the communists back in China around 1949) and the majority populace that lived on the island prior to all that wanted nothing more than to be left alone to live their lives in peace and harmony, like everyone else.
