Namaste Readers,
Taiwanese Roomie C is having the Foreign Exchanged Student's woes. During the 1st week, he got diarrhea. Then one day, I encountered him walking towards the Seven-Eleven (7/11), he was looking for disposable underwear to wear until his freshly washed boxers dried up. In Taiwan, it was common for 7/11 and other supermarkets to sell both genders' [disposable] underwears not just females'. Another day, he told me how a taxi driver charged him and his Taiwanese friends more than the counter. The Taiwanese "Dollar" is almost equivalent to the Philippine Peso ( 1 peso is around 0.70 Taiwan "Dollar" ) thus every peso counts. I tried to pacify his frustration by pointing out that arguments about money also happened to the locals.
