Taiwanese Girls

Very interesting door knots, aren't they?

I always want to write about Taiwanese girls. I think they are the most care-free, adorable and silly spices among all Hong Kong, Mainland and oversea Chinese.

My aunt in Toronto is a typical Taiwanese girl, even though she is in her mid 50s. She enjoys life so much that nothing can stop her from having fun. She went to high school, learn painting and pottery for years, making all her classmates call her auntie. She begged her teacher to flunk her so she could take the same course again.

She loves to travel and never afriad to look a bit silly to make us laugh. I was thinking abou the argument of the prosperous economic environment in the 80s bred the new generation of feminism, but failed to continue when I thought about her. She married to my uncle, Tomas, and moved to Hong Kong in the 80s and then Toronto. Very difficult transition to get into a complete different culture, but she thrives and never minds what people think (yeah, she took me and my cousins to the water world theme park, she made us change to bathing suits under the big towel in a queue so we won't miss our turn to go on the water slide. I was 19 years old, old enough to feel embarrassed).

She always trying very hard to have as much fun as she could afford. Expense is not the concern although not rich. Getting the experience is worth buying the front row tickets to any show is her motto.

Thinking about this, I can quite easily observe these quantities among a lot of my friends. For example, Irene, keeps encouraging her boy friends to quit his demanding job but offers to work as a waitress. Well, in her mind, being with her love is far more crucial to her life than having lots of money. They are usually super optimistic about financial future and believe life could go on one way or another. They are cool in making silly of themselves, none the less, they are very determined about how to get what they want. There is no compromise nor middle ground, exceptions are open for love.

They might be outgoing, fun to be with but never let go the chance to be pretty. There is not need to be boyish to go camping, cannoning. Presentation is still important. I enjoy my girly lessons with my aunt, Irene and other friends. We experimented different types of toner, got my ear pierced and went for night gown hunting.

I also observe quite a few career-oriented women, they tend to exercise their feminine advantage when battle is necessary. Very different comparing to women from Hong Kong or Mainland China.

I think I would love to have a Taiwanese girl friend if I were a guy.
