This afternoon when I was working in Penneys, an old women about 70 years of age came to me and ask me aomething. Here is our conversation.
W: Excuse me!
H: Yeah?
W: Can I open the package to see how big is the shirt?
H: Of course.
W: Sorry for the mess.
H: You are ok, I wil tidy after you.
There were four different styles of shirts on the table, so she ask me again.
W: Which one do you think I should go with?
H: I suppose it depends on the color of your trousers.
W: Yeah, I will go with this, thank you. Your English is quite good, which part of the world you are from?
H: I am from Taiwan.
W: Oh, Thailand. There was the tsunami years ago and my cousins were on holiday, thanks God they were ok.
H: I am from Taiwan, not Thailand. They are different countries.
W: Oh yeah? Where is Taiwan?
H: It's a small island by China, it's small but there are 23 million people living on it.
W: Oh...( She had no idea what I was talking about). Thanks for your help.
H: You are welcome.(Then I walked away)
For those who don't know where Taiwan is, they should take another geography class.
For all the Taiwanese living in a foreign country, LET THE WORLD KNOW WE ARE FROM TAIWAN.

在英國求學時這各問題發生不下數百次啦真是不懂他們為什麼就是搞不清楚哩
台灣是各很好的國家
要讓大家都知道~~~~!!!
Vanessa
對了Helen妳是怎麼把youtube上傳到網誌再貼在文章上的呢?
妳能在服飾布工作想必你的聽力已經很強囉
我以前真的很怕南腔北調的英國人跟我說話說
怕聽不懂哩
真的覺得那些人地理可真的要重上，明明就差那麼多...
Vanessa
南非腔阿因人而異
南非而的發音是英式的
但是如果無法改掉捲舌音真的會粉難懂
不過好險年輕人比較沒有那各問題
法先生有在英國待兩年
所以他英文及格了 嘻嘻
我在紐西蘭也是有人搞不懂台灣跟泰國有什麼不一樣,甚至連我婆婆在一個月前也都還以為我是泰國人...
不過只要有人以為我是泰國來的,一定會跟他們說我是台灣來的,而非泰國~
但知道台灣的人又會問,那台灣到底是不是中國的一部份,吼~~~~~解釋不完咧~
有空到我家走走看看吧~
七月底的時候去都柏林玩了兩天(實在是太短了好可惜),覺得愛爾蘭是個很有意思的國家,但是去愛爾蘭的台灣人好像真的不多。
而我在英國上課的時候也是被人家誤以為是泰國人，我和他更正說我是來自台灣，也不曉得他們聽懂沒有？
因為去了愛爾蘭才更想要了解這個地方，真的很開心看到妳的網誌！謝謝！
我是從拙琴家連過來的~
我知道妳現在妳一定很忙~~
但看了妳這篇 真的是忍不住想出聲啊..
因為我在日本 用日文對話時..
也出現了一模一樣的情況..
明明我說台灣..他們都聽成泰國..
但是日文泰國的發音和台灣的發音有點相似..
本來我想要認識台灣人..
結果他們給我介紹泰國人..
差點沒昏倒...
