People's Republic of China: communistic society
Republic of China (Taiwan): democratic republic, established in 1912.
The island groups of Taiwan (Formosa) led by Chiang Kai-shek, the ROC administrator, announced 25th October 1945 as Taiwan Restoration Day. The political environment is complicated by the potential for military conflict toward independence or reunification be taken.
Each year since 1992, the ROC has petitioned the United Nations for entry but has been unseccessful. Most member states, inlcuding the United Sates, do not wish to discuss the issue of the ROC's political status for fear of souring diplomaic ties with the PRC. Wikipedia
常常有人對於我們的立場有興趣,常常被問到啞口無言,最常被問的問題是,你們是不是可以自由進出大陸? 你們到底是不是中國人阿? 我的答案總是簡單帶過,我們持的是不同的護照,而事實上大陸人進出台灣是被嚴格限定的;而我們都說中文,台灣用的是繁體中文,Mainland China因為文革之後人民不會寫繁體了,只好將就用簡體版,就好比英國跟美國也都說相同的語言阿!
出國前從來沒有關心過政治議題,歷史課本早在畢業的時候都還給老師了,去翻了網路上的資料,我想大概可以更清楚的表明立場吧! 出了國這些敏感的話題層出不窮,我不是來搞政治話題的,放過我一馬吧!

Come from Taiwan

來自台灣
hello
안녕하세요? (a ne a wa se yo)
안녕하세요? (a ne a wa se yo)
你好 (你好=早安=午安=晚安=再見)
안녕 兩個字其實就是漢字「安寧」的古音...因此這個字,就是在任何時候祝人家安寧、平安,因此又等於你好,又等於早安午安晚安跟再見都可以通用。
It is quite funny to work in the international restaurant, we got South Korean, Korean, British, Walsh, Chinese, Japanese and Taiwanese. We all have to say English in public, however, our chief who come from South Korean and Korean can speak Chinese and little English. Body language is the best language, but I want to have more conversation with all staff. Here I found a pretty useful website to learn Korean including pronounciation.

culture shock
在英國,非常尊重個人以及信任,在英國超商買東西沒有人盯著你看,進到中國超商就有好幾隻眼睛追蹤你的手的方向; 在英國美術館參觀不會有閃光燈的干擾,人人都自重見不到有人拿著相機偷拍或是嘗試觸摸展品; 坐公車先買票,司機不會管你是不是在對的站下車,只要上車報出下車的站名買好票就可以直接丟入廢票筒,下車不驗票的。至於在賣場"借"東西,我在這兒確實有遇到對岸的朋友這麼做,這兒還可以"借"一個月勒 >.<"
這是文化下的不同結果,我想,英國從小的環境教導他們這樣的尊重與自重,而我們的文化教育下的台灣人,很勤快刻苦,也是我們的優點阿。
