Buff Taiwan

My auntie bought a new car for around 37 lakh (44,000USD)
but she told her husband (and others) that it cost only 21 lakh (25,000 dollars)
She bought his car, yet usually she goes by bus , taxi, or evren by walk only because her car is nicely parked in taipei.

So I guess it is a cultual thing, that we taiwanese are so cool.

I was waiting in the glasses shop today (free of cost)
and then there was a man coming in, asking for having his glasses fixed as well as his watch.
He had such a loud strong voice, 'do you fix watch here as well? No? But I always remember you fix both watches and glasses here!'

'How old are you?' He asked.

'I'm 20'

'Well do you remember that they also fix watch here?'

I laughed and said 'Well I guss not but I am not sure'

So he started to ask 'How come you are not in school today?'
'Well, I just came back from abraod'
'Oh really? from where?'
'ummmmm Pakistan'
'Pakistan!! Do you speak the language there?'
and he became all excited, telling his son that I was from Pakistan.
He was quite positive and happy that he met me.
'So, when did you leave? after junior high?' he asked.
'Oh no, I left after my first semester in HSNU'
'and you haven't called me xue-zhang* yet?'
(*xue-zhang means the elder brother/guys who studied above your class)
I was so amazed'wow, I didn't know...'
'I am from class 31'
'and i am from 1131!'
Then he was trying to find his card and said 'do i have the honor to know you?'
It turned out he is the chief supervisor in the international airport, working for Japan Airlines.
It was a really nice experience, and he made me feel proud about Pakistan.
