A new strategy

In order to combat the daily humiliation of not being good enough at speaking mandarin, I instituted a policy of No-English-Outside-of-Home-or-Work-Unless-I'm-Skating-With-Laowai. On the upside, this means that lzyk's poketmon session suddenly becomes a language and beer drinking session for me, as we wandering around the city looking at skatespots. On the downside, she flipped her shit in the first two hours. It ended up with us walking around Taipei, me repeating 聽不懂 until her meltdown. Doesn't matter. Blanket statements are never true, but taiwanese women are not the patient type. Promises usually aren't true. I promise that I won't be speaking english unless I'm at work, at home, or skating with the homies.
