My Brain Cells in China: "Please Translate!" #chinatravelwtf
-
Sorry, can't make it, dear.

I'd love to travel to mainland China too, but I'm swamped with work right now. I'll definitely go if I get the chance in the future. I'm dreaming of trying hotpot in Chongqing and Luosifen (river snail rice noodles) in Liuzhou.
-
Chongqing hotpot is so delicious!
-
Most Taiwanese people are very friendly and enthusiastic. I've visited before and had a great experience. The aggressive individuals you see on TV and online are definitely in the minority.
-
The hostility from people in Taiwan towards mainland tourists isn't even a tenth of what mainland tourists used to face from passersby and shopkeepers in Hong Kong back in the day.
-
Taiwanese people are generally friendly.
-
There are many mainland Chinese in Taiwan now. You'll generally find a welcoming atmosphere; it's not really an issue. You're welcome to visit Taiwan!
-
In real life, people are perfectly fine, but 'Chinese Twitter' (the Chinese-language sphere on X/Twitter) is often just full of 'AB' (likely referring to bots or divisive content).
-
Whatever Taiwanese people might truly think deep down, they generally act quite polite—much better manners than people in Hong Kong. And frankly, that's good enough.
-
Yeah, that seems to be the case. You never really know what they're actually thinking, but at least they're always polite. It's a much more comfortable experience compared to interactions with people in Hong Kong.
-
If it weren't for Jay Chou, I wouldn't even know Taiwan existed.
-
I really don't want to.
