When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do

well well well... in my retrospect, i discovered this part of me - that i'm totally "do in Rome as the Romans do!" 怎麼發現的呢? 一天跟表姐跟姐夫坐公車要回家... 當時真的很累,所以沒特別注意身邊的人。當我回過神來時,看到表姐在幫個長輩(也不是說白髮蒼蒼這麼老啦)撿他掉的單張(不確定是甚麼,就是很多疊紙)。煞時我才發現:我怎麼沒有想幫助的心?以前的我,一般看到需要的人都會有所行動。啊~~~~玉妹也說我回來很“ㄑㄧㄥ”~我其實是發現我非常的入境隨俗了,even the way i drive in either TPE or Tainan, 我都滿狠的 XD probably not a good thing...

那天我跟家人去花博,這次。。。又看到有人想插隊~我本能的“正義感”就出來了,整個不開心這位盲目的阿姨裝傻想插隊。We weren't slow... but she just kept walking closer and than faster than us trying to squeeze us out.... hello, can't you see the invisible 'line'? 在跟家人講話時我試著暗示她不要插隊,很沒禮貌... 直到她名正言順的插在我們前面了,我總算忍不住了!在後面問她“妳沒看到隊嗎?”之後又有一家似乎覺得我們沒跟上(我們只是不想貼著前面人的屁股走),就慢慢也要插隊。。。。這次她看到我們手中拿著哥哥犧牲離開隊伍去買的冰淇淋,笑臉問我說“這個天氣吃冰最棒了是吧!”我忍不住回她“為什麼你們在插隊啊?”當下大家的臉都變了。。。。i was just being honest.... seriously, i hate people CUTTING the line!!!!!! 我媽說我不應該說這樣,表妹也一臉尷尬。但是。。。我只是說直話啊!是讓她很尷尬沒錯,但我又不是說謊話~!k, this last part is not Chinese, but... my point is, i do feel my 'change in attitudes' now that i'm more used to Taiwanese culture.. >< i don't wanna have some components of it but i think it's penetrating if i don't pay close attention or be sensitive enough to identify the 'subtle change!'.... argh, 主啊 求祢幫助我!
