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
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
