this

Idk I had nothing but good service and kind reception in the nt

ye cause its not as busy

except shatin

kowloon is just a mess

go visit there but its hectic

i can survive with canto alone, just sound a lil retarded since im a bong and parents have some western guangdong cantonese accent (which i mostly dont speak that way anymore, but it still shows up some time)

when i was there i lived in kowloon it was nutty

cant imagine spending a lifetime in that chaos

sounding retarded in foreign countries is part of the fun actually

thats why everyone is so rude

a few ppl in tw thought i was from hk cause of my accent in mandarin

proud monolingual retarded baby here

>speak mandarin
>hear utters of "xianggang" in the background

it's sort of funny

but theyre understanding

im gonna go to chang mai next time im in thailand

yea i wanna go to chiang mai too

get a cheap ass condo for a month or something like tribit

beats spending my summer in britain

taiwan first tho

really comfy island

@10032 learn mandarin and make business deals for steel

tw is honestly so underrated as a destination but i can understand why if you can only into english

I hope to learn mandarin at some point but I have zero interest in the steel business

is it tough to get around tw with only english?

unironically do it, just not for the steel

it's manageable for taipei

if you make extensive use of google maps and stick around touristy areas

but even then, knowing a bit of mandarin goes a long way

a lot of ppl seem shy to speak english, even if they know it

at least for younger people

older people usually only know a few phrases here and there

outside of taipei, it's probably way harder

but in taipei, you can probably find at least someone nearby who can help you in english

Id want to visit some scenic railways and national parks if I went, hot spings and shit

But I would also probably have a friend who speaks mandarin with me

that helps a lot

where you find tw frens from?

honestly though, i actually quite enjoy flexing my broken language skils

the reactions are great and yet so chill
