I actually don't want to hurt anyone but I think I am allowed to express what I feel, since hey I am Taiwanese after all.

So the situation is:
Rachel and Pirate are friends and they both know a cool dude from the united states of buffs (USB). So this cool dude from the USB one day invited Rachel and Pirate for lunch, 'Oh I am leaving for the USB like real soon, you should come'. Rachel and Pirate came to the lunch, and from there they met a friend of cool dude, Annie. Rachel sort of heard things about Annie from cool dude before, so she satrted the conversation like this, (it's translated in english for everyone's sake)
Rachel (in the language of flower): 'how do you say how are you?'
Annie (in the language of flower): 'haw ar you'
Rachel (in the language of hahawhyareyoufunny): 'haha okay, how do you say my name is annie?'
Annie(in the language of flower): 'my name iz annie'
Rachel and Pirate: 'Hahahahhahaha'
and the conversation went on and on, the cool dude from the USB was concerned whether Annie was okay with the situation.
Rachel(in the language of flower) : 'I am not rude, some people think I am, but I am not.', she then continued: 'hey annie, for how long have you been living here in the kingdom of flower?' Annie in replied, rather politely yet in English, 'I came here in 2005 dec'
Rachel made the conclusion, 'That's long enough for you to learn the language of flower.'
Rachel and Pirate started to talk about the grass, the waterfalls who can't speak the language of flower. And they made fun of the mistakes in grass and waterfalls' spoken 'flour'. 'No no they don't say I am hungry, they say I is hungry!' 'and she is hot as she are hot or she am hot' then 'puhahahhaha'
Before the lunch was over, Rachel and Pirate found a line written in the language of flower, and asked Annie to read what it was written, 'Read it!'
The cool dude from the USB popped in and said, ' oh I can read it'
'No no I want Annie to read it!', Rachel said, and Pirate was waiting for some fun to happen.
Annie read as she told, 'This is where your home is'
'No', immidiately Rachel said, 'This am where your home am!'

I am sure all of you appreciate my story telling skill, and I just want to remind you that I don't want anyone to feel hurt (but yes guilty) when you read it (even though i don't plan to let anyone read this blog yet)
I was never so sure why Rachel decided to pick on Annie, it's like, if my parents moved to Malaysia and I was born and grown up there, it would be a miracle that I could speak Taiwanese language! And plus I lived in Taipei for 16 years and I still can't speak a full sentence in Taiwanese :(
Then what I heard from Rachel later was that, she felt Annie was not being genuine, maybe she was making up her accent. It does explain why Rachel was mean to Annie, perhaps she was trying to protect the 'innocent cool dude from the USB' It makes sense because Rachel is a faithful friend who only trusts a few people from the kingdom of flower. Although I wish Rachel could have been more friendly, or at least, give Annie a chance to be who she is, don't judge her so soon.
Of course one doesn't need to like a friend's friend, but you don't need to insult that person or try to prove your friend that this friend isn't cool enough for you.
And I guess on my side, I think the chemicals between friends are pure jadoo. Sometimes it happens randomly, sometimes it takes longer time to realize this person is one good friend you have been looking for.
And I do feel sorry for Annie, but I think she has taken this experience positively.
The last note is, I think everyone should chill, it's just a misunderstanding, so please don't make it into an article which I already did for you :P
Message for all, I love you all, please don't fight, we do have differences but the similarities will bond us to appreciate each other in time.
