was about to say, that's quite out of the norm

you know these typical rooms with curtains?

the ones i've been to are just like

you're out in the open

otherwise they're private chiropractors

I see, the ones we were was a big room with a lot of curtains, my girlfriend was on a massage bed behind the curtain. Now, I assume the girl didn't know that when she offered that extra-service

once she asked me if I want a handjob for an extra 1000 NT$, she jumped out of the bed, put apart the courtain and started shouting at the girl

hah.

the girl got defensive, now my Chinese skill is not 💯 but I think she said something like "my job is to make people relaxed. That's all I was offering"

then she ran downstairs to the manager and the manager started shouting at the girl, too

that was the first time that I saw Taiwanese people getting angry

usually you're all so calm

my personal assumption is, that she was just looking for a way to pimp her pocket money

i can understand, it's quite the scandal and embarrassment for the establishment

that aside, though, that situation's quite amusing.

it was funny

i would have been laughing the entire time

at some point I said "to be fair if my girlfriend wasn't here I would have just said yes" and then both started shouting at me. The girl was telling me that I'm a pig for saying that and my girlfriend was shouting that it's not funny

I just wanted to lift the mood...

let me see if I find the place on Google maps

Dog bless Google Timeline for tracking every step I make

sometimes Google is a little spooky

what fucks me up is when google parses my emails and marks on the map where im going to be

1000 TWD seems like a lot for just a handie

maybe she didn't find me attractive

she was hot af tho

Also I think she wasn't Taiwanese because she was speaking pirate Chinese

bootleg chinese

Northern accented Mandarin is like chink counterpart of redneck accent in terms of how it sounds

to me anyway

part of the reason why I'm lazy about learning Mandarin is because of most resources having that Beijing accent

Just find a resource that has an American southern accent

On the other end of the spectrum, you have strong Cantonese (although not all Cantonese ppl speak it like this) accented Mandarin where the sh/ch/zh is just s/c/z and it's hard to understand what they're saying

Taiwanese manage to get it just right

doesn't sound like northerns who sound like they are chewing when they're talking

Cantonese sounds better to me tbh

I've noticed a lot of Cantonese people manage to speak pretty similarly to Taiwanese people anyhow

If their accent isn't too strong
