We hope that the Living in Taiwan forum will be of value to you and others. To ensure this, please note:
It is best to capitalize topics and to avoid vague titles. “Hi, I’m new” and “Help please” are examples of bad titles.
Before posting, please check the FAQ thread, and – more importantly – use the search function to ensure that your topic has not been discussed before and that there is not an existing thread you could update with your contribution.
While Living in Taiwan is a busy, wide-ranging forum, there are other specific forums for relationships, teaching, business, legal issues, animals, food, events, travel, restaurants, and so on. Check the Forumosa menu to find the most appropriate place for your post.
While it is preferable to post questions dealing with dissimilar topics in separate threads (“How Much for an Apartment in Tianmu?”, “Are There Many Foreigners in Tianmu?”), if you are a new arrival, it is possible to present numerous questions in one post, but realize that your thread will then, after two weeks, be merged into the New to Taiwan: Some Questions thread.

Not in Taiwan, but while traveling in Macau I saw an old woman with a shirt that said, "Nazi Punks Fuck Off"
"They only like me for my looks and personality"

Cool! Maybe she want to the same New Model Army concert that I did. (I wonder where my shirt is now; haven't worn or even seen it in years. Presumably it's in a drawer in my parents' house, but maybe it somehow made its way to Macau.)

On the immigration line at TPE, I was standing in front of a ~15 year old Chinese girl and her father, two brothers. Her shirt read "CHEAP."
So I pointed to her shirt, looked at her father, and shook my head, and said "bu hao".
He seemed to understand the point that his daughter shouldn't wear the shirt, but I'm sure he had no idea why.

I wanted to be a tourist," Bill Bryson.

I just saw one in Banqiao. It was one of those loose fitting shirts taiwanese women always like to wear. In big bold words that filled the entire shirt, were the words: "Did You Come?" Also, they were in all caps.

It's a quote from the TV-show Entourage.cranky laowai wrote:[*]"Let's hug it out, bitch"[/list]
The last one was worn by a Western guy, who would certainly know what it meant. I wonder if he found it here or thought it was important enough to his life to bring it across the ocean to Taiwan.

Could just be Chinglish, otherwise it should surely read, "Did you cum?"

Second of all, as in all honeymoons, all is well until it is not. It is until the unexpected happens that you will see all grievances surface -ask anyone in any relationship. The girl can chew with her mouth open, that if you love her, you do not care. If you do not lover her, if her pinkie toe is half an inch deviant, the relationship is doomed. - Icon

Well, if someone ever pointed at my child and said "not good" I probably answer "Not good enough for you? Want another hair color? Change of clothes? You §%%§$§§ f... $%§$§%%$$ !!!!"
Shows how easy it is to get misunderstandings.
Or not.

Misunderstandings are even easier when you quote the wrong post.
“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”
