Mainlanders in Taiwan: Gonna Be Disliked? — Nope, All Cool! 🤝
-
There, there. I can understand how bad you must have felt being treated like that. If it were strangers doing that to me, I'd find it baffling too.
-
Not at all, most people are normal. It's just the news that reports on the extreme cases.
-
Exactly, we don't dislike normal people.
-
Being an annoying person has nothing to do with nationality, right?
-
Yeah, it's about character.
-
Sometimes, the refusal to discuss something speaks volumes. It's just a way of politely cloaking one's true position.
-
Otherwise, what's there to talk about? There are no inherent enemies in the world, just different standpoints. You'll understand if you spend enough time in neutral territories. I work in duty-free, and Taiwanese people are much easier to get along with than Hongkongers...
-
There's something that has always baffled me: some people try to bargain for everything and then tell me it's because in China, you can even bargain for a bus fare. This actually happened.
-
It's easy to spread rumors. You can haggle at street stalls, but supermarkets and shops have fixed prices. Bus fares are like 1 or 2 yuan no matter the distance, who would haggle over that?
-
To be honest, I don't really like talking politics... After all, we can't change each other's minds, so it's better not to discuss it...
-
Don't worry, it'll be changed sooner or later.

The vast majority of people in Taiwan are very friendly. I've been there twice, staying for nearly 6 months in total. The people seemed great. It's just that the traffic on the roads is really fast.
-
Indeed, quite fast
