Hi, my name is Pam and I am a banana in Taiwan.
We use the term banana on peeps who are yellow on the inside and white on the outside ie: a chinese with westernised packaging.
Ok, I feel like a banana here right now. My command of mandarin language is pathetic -- I can't even operate my hotpot/washing machine/cook instant noodles because everything is in Mandarin. Plus I had no idea that April 5th was Tomb Sweeping Day. In Taiwan, it is a national holiday and families would go to the graves of their ancestors to pay respects. Me? I spent the whole day sleeping/eating/shopping. So I feel kinda crap about me being so nonchalent about my chinese roots.
Anyhow, I thought I'd start blogging about my (mis)adventures in Taiwan. So you guys can have a good laugh! hahaha...

So glad you'd finally jumped on board the weblog bandwagon. I can now see how for myself how your shopping looks like rather than hearing about it long distance. We miss you here babe! We'll visit soon. *hugs*
My shopping has been confined to Carrefour, Ikea, Wellcome (their local supermarket) and RT Mart (their local Carrefour) so far... sigh...
