    My favorite thing about Taiwan is the breakfast shops. It's the only place in the world where the 'aunties' (shop ladies) will call me 'handsome guy'.

      Come to our Guangdong, everyone will call you 'leng zai' (handsome guy)!

        You'll see 'uncles' (older men) walking around casually dressed – undershirts, shorts, flip-flops – and you'd never guess they're loaded. People here tend not to show off; most are very friendly and easygoing.

          It's like in Guangzhou – those grandpas in undershirts? They might just be carrying the keys to three buildings they own, ready to collect rent.

                Honey, you're so sweet, I'm incredibly touched! It reads like a beautifully written piece – almost like a passage from a Chinese literature textbook.

                    My favorite thing here is their love for puns/wordplay (especially homophones).

                      I like Taiwan because I'm a fan of Wang Shijian.

                        Taiwanese people are very friendly and polite, and they tend to speak in a gentle, soft-spoken manner.

                            I love the simple, honest kindness of Taiwanese people. If you ask an 'ah po' (elderly lady) for directions, she'll even remind you to stay safe on your journey.
