one old bus driver asked to see my easy card in Hualien on the countryside, an old, depressive-looking Taiwanese man with a beard... I flashed out my anime-easycard, he looked at it, then he looked at me, then he inhaled really long and exhaled with a hearable *sigh*

and that's about the reactions you get, if you have an easycard with anime girls on it

lmfao

the most terrible thing is that everyone assumes i am local

until they hear me speak

even then, they think i am hong kong

or in extreme cases, nip

Taiwanese girls when they see Transcience: "你是日本人嗎？？？(๑♡⌓♡๑)"

>people think you're soba
Living the chink life

go get yourself an anime easy card NOW

is deposit necessary though <:thonkang:327933449597878312>

actually, nvm

why don't you just give back yours?

300 ntd is nothing

you have deposit on your normal easycard, too

if you give it back, you get the deposit back

and then you get the anime one

i thought you only get your balance back

not a refund for the card

it's a deposit

What's 300 ntd in a normal currency?

of course you get it back

10 $

Wew

Get cute anime card!

it's a card with an encrypted NFC chip, like a bank card, it's not much considering how much bank cards cost

where can i buy one in the least humiliating way? i dont wanna explicitly ask the mrt info desk for an anime card

well sadly

this is the only way I know of

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

Just say it's for shit and giggles when coming home

Why even lie here?

me at the station:
me: "I need an easycard"
girl at the counter: *hands me an easycard*
me: "no I want the one with the anime girl on it"
girl "oh"
*pause*
girl : "good" *hands me the card with the anime girl*

it's not that bad

you are laowai though

i feel that as a chink, they'll be twice as disgusted

I think less disgusted

because it's part of your culture

when I ask for an anime girl easycard, it's cultural appropriation

Put on a nip accent

That way they wont judge as much
