You know, I’m not one to constantly blog about annoying things about Chinese culture on my blog. Nope. Talk Talk China’s got that corner of the web nailed. They’re up front about it, too. Right on the front of their page, they say

Having a bad “China day”? If so then you’ve come to the right place. Dan, DD, and Dawanr are 3 laowai that have been here for way too long (collectively over 45 years!!) and this is where we come to just let all out.

Today’s post caught my eye, though. DD’s talking about how he needs to hang out with a Chinese Language Asshole. It was an amusing post and it got me to thinking. I’ve never met that sort of person in Taiwan. Sure, Latin America was crawling with guys who didn’t give a damn about learning English, and were more than ready to make fun of pathetic Gringo attempts at their language. But, not Taiwan. Here, it’s quite the opposite. As far as I can remember, strangers were tripping over themselves to compliment my Chinese from the first mangled “duoxiaoqian”s I uttered when I got here. Truth be told, I wish there were just a few “Language Assholes” here in Taiwan. Maybe DD’s on to something…
