Waiguoren!  Nege waiguoren this, nege waiguoren that.  I find it especially
annoying when you're standing right in front of the person calling you "that
foreigner" as if you were in another city.  That's when I usually throw in
one of my handfull of phrases in Taiwanese to leave them with the impression
that I understood EVERYTHING they said, which of course is not true, but let
>'em wonder!

ROTFLMAO ::claps:: bravo  (really)...

    When I said _endearin'_ I meant it sorta tongue-in-cheekie knowin' full
well that
some other Chinese of the grinnin' polite "stone face, black heart"
persuasion say these things.
    *whimper* ... thought ya guys knew me better by now... guess it's rather
hard to tell in this medium _what is what_, _who is who_, etc. ;)

    czHANg, promisin' ta mark his humour more openly :P~~~ *thpt*
