Cala and I went to Carrefour this morning, a Walmart like store, to buy some groceries and cleaning supplies. We were going home from the subway and going up the escalator. There are two lanes: one where you can stand and the other to walk. Cala and I were both standing in the standing lane and I was carrying a bucket of cleaning supplies and Cala was carrying a big bag of groceries. I was ahead of Cala and I wasn't balanced right and then this lady who was in the other lane all of a sudden decided to stand right in front of me but it's not like she just stepped in. She tried to grab on the railing and forced me to move back but I wasn't balanced on my step and I almost fell. The thing that was frustrating the most was that she never said one word nor cared to even look at me. I was sooo angry. I really wanted to say something or tap her on the shoulder but I bit my tongue. I just went "UGH" really loud but of course she didn't look back. I just couldn't believe it. It was weird too because while Cala and I were shopping in the import aisle (Western food), this girl with weird eye makeup (she had red triangles on the corner of her eyes) would get in our way and then just look at us. She kept looking at us and then get in our way while we were trying to find something. It was very frustrating and she kept repeatedly doing it and just look at us for 2 mins. Then after the subway incident, we were crossing the street and I safely crossed the street but Cala waited for the scooter to pass by but he instead just slowed down and stopped right in front of her so she couldn't walk. Then Drew went to McDonalds and some lady budged in front of him and my coworker saw it.
Besides venting about Taiwanese people, I mentioned a little bit about how Taiwanese people think Americans eat a lot (no brainer) but it was funny because last week Drew had a box of nerds from his U.S. vacation. Our Taiwanese coworker came over and we wanted her to try it so I poured a couple in my hand and she picks up one nerd piece. Drew and I looked at each other and we told her she can grab more but she said, "No I'm fine. Wow it's so sweet!" We were in shock and I poured a handful and ate it and she thought I was so weird to eat so many nerds. I don't even know how that one piece of nerd that was big as a period of a sentence could be satisfying but oh well haha
