j pop

i was walking around the mitsukoshi department store last night

as i walked by one of the shops, the sales lady looks at me and proceeds to greet me in japanese followed by a couple more lines also in japanese

huh?

wtf??

well, it wouldn't be the first time that happened tho'

it must be my small eyes

i've also had people approach me and just start talking in korean

hmm...

hey! thanks for reading my blog...

it's happened before to me too- both in LA and in taipei, i think it's because we don't dress/carry ourselves/look like local "taiwanese"
