★ Taiwaneses' bad habits－(01) Love to ask

Taiwanese are different than Chinese in many ways Since we share the same culture, sometimes we do have the same bad habits.

Please don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean that Taiwanese are impolite, we are extremely friendly. I do think since we are going to host the international expo in Taipei in 2010, there are few international etiquette we should know about.

First at all, we Taiwanese love to ask about everything, no matter it's personal or not.


For example, when a male is going to shake a female's hand, he should not grab her with one hand, and use another hand to slap the back of her hand loudly... It may be an elder person showing his love to a younger person in Taiwan, but it would look bad when a Taiwanese treat a foreigner like this.

When Miao-wen meets a guy like Tai-di, all she needs to do is steady her horse stance, then Tan Sau towards to Tai-di, then she can get away from him easily.


When Miao-wen really wants to teach Tai-di some international etiquette, she should change her Tan Sau to Lap Sau, and steps forward half of step at the same time, then put Tai-di's two hands together and pull downwards.

Then change Lap Sau to Jum Sau, and turn her waist at the same time, and use her left palm strike upwards. Usually with this distance and this height, she can get to Tai-di's glass chin.

Please remember, not just Tai-di but everyone got a glass chin.
