no chinese input, so feel free to translate for me, thanks
so marrying a taiwanese is any better?
1. needs recognition from the partner-to-be's entire family, ie aunty, uncle, her parents' neighbour all have a say
2. need exact timing of birth for superstitious belif
3. severe racist society
4. like to 'compare'- hardly ever gone to china town, but a shop owner still recognize me after many yrs, saying i am pretty good, unlike taiwanese who like to compare- compare income, achievement, kids' education, place of residence, car...etc
taiwan used to be a better part of china- something i heard in the past
now it's more the truth to think - china is better part of taiwan
Dont agree on the 1, I love my Taiwanese family-oriented relationship with not just their families, but also love the neighbors and friends. My fiance does not have a problem about my Taiwanese style family as well. (ps he is a American-Jewish) If you can't fit in one culture (although you do need to respect all cultures), commit into a foreign relationship is something that you will need to think twice before making the important decision.
