The moments I feel my darling is Taiwanese No.2

~Continuously on the post yesterday~

Taiwanese usually don’t eat white rice for breakfast.

Most of them eat rice gruel or hamburger (like a sandwich) outside home.

When I visited Taiwan before, Jeff took me to a hamburger place in the morning.

I said “Oh..hamburger is kinda heavy for breakfast….”,

then he said “You eat white rice for breakfast! That’s heavy!”

For Japanese, eating white rice for breakfast is very common. lol

I don’t like to cook that much but I always helped my mom for making dumplings when I was little.

So I feel dumplings is not something I should buy at supermarket but I should make by myself.

In Taiwan, less family cook and eat at home.

Jeff’s mom cooks more than other Taiwanese, but still only for couple time a week.

So very few young girls can make dumpling in Taiwan, Jeff always admires me for making ones by myself like I’m genius or something.

Since he loves my dumplings, they are gone very quickly even if I make lots because he eats 20 or more at one meal.

Well I’m always glad to see his happy face though.

His hometown is Keelung, next to Taipei city.

More rainy days than sunny days in the city.

So he is very used to get wet and doesn’t like to carry umbrella.

The other day, he was saying “I would leave umbrella somewhere on purpose if I need to bring it more than 2 hours.”

Taiwan doesn’t have clear four seasons like Japan.

It has long summer and very short autumn season.

And go back to summer again.

Therefore Jeff is very sensitive to winter in Japan.

During very cold season, he wears 2-3 underwears and then put clothes on.

However, he looks happy when he sees snow, because Taiwan has no snow;)

Japan and Taiwan is very close but we have many cultural differences.

I will write more about this in this blog!
