language is an issue here...
When I first come here...hang out w/ all CBC...I can't say a word during 3 hours in bubble tea place....By the time I manage to respond they already jump to another topic. Of course I can't blame them just I'm too slow. I so want to leave right away.
Btw...there are still lots of Taiwanese you know? I thought they all go back
This is a global matter, not limited to Taiwanese!
An English in a group of Cantonese; a Taiwanese in a group of Japanese; an Italian in a group of Filipino..... . The scenarios are all the same.
It's about culture and language.
I have no problem. one of my best friends is TW. and my project partner is from TW. we made a lot of jokes..etc.. and dirty jokes. my ex is also from TW.. so miss him. lol
Well.. One easy way to break the barrier is to talk dirty jokes. Dirty joke is universal and a powerful tool to bring people from different culture together. If go further, talking porn and boobs will even have greater affect.
