Welcome 2 Taiwan

Just came back from Taiwan trip on the 15th. Interesting trip, saw some differences between Singapore and Taiwan people. Definitely will miss the services provided by the people there. Entering into any shop will most likely be greeted by "欢迎观临" and even if you did not make any purchase and walk out, they will still say "谢谢观临". Simple words but, with a great impact as it will make people feel very welcome. Communications in Taiwan is not a problem but, there are several words that are commonly used by us and not by them. The way we talk is also different, with frequent English words added into a sentence. That makes us easily recognised as tourists and the sales assistant always ask which country we are from. Haha.
