"白人 !!" (White person!!!!)

Haha, Taiwanese people never stop to amaze me... As you may have noticed, one of our good friends is a lil bit different than the rest of us. Most of us are "bananas" - yellow on the outside, white on the inside. Eiren is an "egg" - white on the outside, yellow on the inside. Yes, we laugh about it everyday. Anyways... We went to the National Palace Museum on Thursday, walking around with E as our guide (she knows her shit I tell you). The musuem has the World's biggest collection of Chinese historical objects, and it's also the most noisy museum I've been to... Lots of crazy old people, and rude kids running around. So, we were just strolling around in the museum, looking at objects which are over 5000 years old when this group of kids runs towards us. Suddenly a couple of them started to stare and point at E, yelling "Bai ren" (whitey). We just stared back and wanted to kick their ass. We continued our tour amongst E's most favourite items, the Jade Cabbage etc. WOW was the only thing I said for an hour. So many things to look at, and they were so amazing. Our favourite was the ivory items.
No matter where we went, people would stare. Even old Cantonese tourists would say "Guailou", and the kids just would shut up with "bei ren"... So... Jackie wanted to punch the kids, but since she's our "guai-guai" (the goody one), she would just gave the lil Shits the look of death. I think I tried to do the same (yes, I'm lazy). But Jen is our crazy member, so she just joined the kids at yelling "bai ren, bai ren", pointing at E with a shocked look on her face and scared the lil rugrats to death. Haha, that was great...

It seems like some Taiwanese don't have a problem with being obvious when they are staring at somebody. I know, all of us look at people, but we usually don't stare for that long, and we normally turn around if the other person is being bothered. But no, we've met several weird people who'd actually stand right next to you and talk about you, looking at you. I may look stupid, but I'm not deaf nor blind???!!
Look, it's only some people being like this.... But it's still annoying! Most people are sweet, and they get so impressed when E speaks Mandarin. This one old lady at a vegetarian place loves her. Everytime we go there, she's always commentating on how pretty she is, how good her Chinese is. She actually said: "Oh, you foreigners are so beautiful, becoz your face shape is so nice, you sleep on your side or stomach. While us (looking at me..) we don't do that, not so pretty." Uhm.... Heh... What was that supposed to mean?! Haha, I'm sure she just meant to compliment E...
