Oops

Sorry I realize I haven't posted anything in ages. School sucks.

This is like gossiping to the internet but it's kind of a hilarious story, in a cynical way.
The other day I was walking back from P.E. and all of a sudden this Asian girl (I mean "Asian" Asian, like she actually lived in Asia for 10 years) came up to me and was like
You know, you should visit Taiwan sometime.
And I was like
O_o Ok..
Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Taiwan, but this was so random. This next part is so confusing. I wasn't sure if I should have been irritated or glad that someone brought this kind of idiotic joy into my life.
Taiwan has so many more interesting places than China.
And I was like
T_T Are you for real
No actually I was more like
"^^ Heh.. Lemme take a quick poll. *grabs kid nearest to me* Hey, so which country do you think has more interesting places, Taiwan or China?
And then the Asian Asian girl tried to undo what she just said.
Oh but no offense though. It's just my personal opinion.
Yeah well if it's personal, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Seriously, I don't mind if she's all like "Taiwan pride! Taiwan FTW! Taiwan's the best island in the world!" because it's her home. People are allowed to do that. What people shouldn't be allowed to do, however, is deem another country inferior to his/her own. Especially since it's China vs. Taiwan in terms of interesting places. I'm probably biased so let me offer you a third opinion on this.
Nearest kid to me: Uh.. well in in terms of geographical size, I would have to go to with China.
See? I don't know what comes to your mind when you think "places" but I think historical monuments, museums, malls, cafes, etc. Based on China's size alone, I would think that there are more "places" in China than in Taiwan. Notice that I, unlike that Asian Asian kid, am not saying that Taiwan is inferior to China because Taiwan is smaller, etc. It's a geographical and logical fact that Taiwan has less places than China due to its smaller size. There's nothing wrong with that.

Get this. She keeps going.
Oh I also heard that China's really dirty.
Woman. Get a grip. It's dirty in any country depending on where you go. They all have their classy places and their grungy ones. Fact of life. Also, it's not that you hear it. China is dirty. It's a huge country with 1.3 billion people for Christ's sake. You try keeping land that size spotless. So this is what I discussed with the poor kid I dragged into this.
But it's not over yet.
I heard people spit on the ground in China. *while covering mouth with hand and trying to make this seem all hush-hush. And she gasps at the end. I mean literally gasps.*
And this is what was playing in my head:
!@#$%^$%&^$%#
This is a joke right? You're from Taiwan. You can't possibly tell me that NO ONE spits on the ground in Taiwan. Also, don't try to characterize this as a Chinese thing. You know all people do it. Admit it. So you can either lie or prove yourself to be an idiot. And remember one last thing. YOU'RE NOT TAIWANESE. You're freakin Chinese whose ancestors got kicked out of China during the civil war. You said so yourself. "I'm actually Chinese." Don't identify yourself as mainland Chinese one second and turn around and bag on China the next. Please realize that Taiwan actually has native people. They can say that they're Taiwanese.
Of course I didn't really say this out loud. I just tried to pretend she didn't exist. It was hard. She had the nerve to hang around my locker to talk to me about the number of people in our class going to the college panel that night. Or something equally insignificant.

So yeah that was like the only interesting thing that happened this week. This is why I can't stand "Asian Asians." Most of them anyway. They have this crazy ego and some insane need to mock others. The one thing they don't teach in Asia: how to make casual conversation.
