lately the issue of "where are you from?" has come up many times for me..

my husband and I were furniture shopping and some shops were owned by those from the mainland...my husband is taiwanese and and I am from HK. So whenever we enter a shop, they immediately speak mandarin and when they've heard mine or my husband's 口音, they would immediately ask us where we're from. if we say we're from TW...the sales usually leave us alone and tell us to take a look around. If we say we're from HK, they just walk away! but then another pair of customers come in, they are clearly from China and the sales run up to them and follow them and really sell hard!

I guess us TW and HKers aren't spending enough nowadays?
