Sometimes certain things piss me off.
Miniature rant:
I’ve lived in Taiwan for a year (exactly, on this coming Friday - wow). I’ve gotten quite used to being stared at by the locals because I’m, well, different looking. Most of the time I shrug off the staring because, like I said, I’m very used to it by now, and I understand why it happens - Taipei has very few foreigners compared to the larger cities in Asia such as Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong. It’s just not as common to see non-Asian people walking around, so it’s natural to be curious when they are. I completely understand that.
However, today, for reasons unknown, I was in a horrible mood as I walked home from my Mandarin class it NTNU, and it just seemed like I received more stares than usual. And because of my horrible mood, it really freaking pissed me off. IT REALLY SUCKED. Seriously.
Walking near NTNU? Stares. Buying a drink at 7-Eleven? Stares. Riding on the MRT? Stares. Sitting at the bus stop near my house? Stares.
I just need to go to sleep now. I’m sure that tomorrow it won’t bug me at all, but that’s just how it goes, right?
