Ready to Translate Your China Travel WTFs! Lay It On Me.

[Courtney Hickle Jr.]

Apparently, we can't even afford tea eggs.

[Marcos Goodwin]

No need to send me tea eggs; please send SunnyHills [pineapple cakes] instead, thanks!

[Hazel Brown-Stracke]

Seconded! I love this brand of pineapple cakes too!!!!!

[Zachary Hayes]

A new way to gain traction: exploiting regional conflicts.

[Morris Schneider]

My Taiwanese friends, how about sponsoring me a pack of zha cai (pickled mustard greens)?

[Lucia Feest]

As a Beijinger, I can confirm we only use tunnels. The roads aren't safe~

[Alejandro Runolfsdottir]

That's right.

[Rosemarie Sawayn PhD]

I was hanging out on QQ and YY over 10 years ago. How could I not know?

[Karen Bruen]

Such a troll.

[Hannah Rogahn]

Hahahahaha

[Ms. Wanda Kilback]

See? There's a Taiwanese IP right below you.

[Faye O'Conner]

It's not quite the same. Life on Xiaohongshu seems too perfect. Social media mostly showcases people who are doing well; those who aren't usually don't post.

[Ms. Alberta Moen]

No wonder I find Xiaohongshu so positive and cheerful.

[Brenda Shanahan]

Actually, everyone code-switches. Taiwanese users on Xiaohongshu ('Little Red Book') will also be 'villagers' on PTT. It's like 'speak to people in their language, and to devils in theirs' – you adapt to your audience.
