How To Get Funny Looks In Taiwan

You sound like Mr. Bean!

Do you mind if i join beer party :lol:

Ahha Beer!! eh? First comes money, then babes now beer. It definitely looks like a guys blog.

No i am not sexist. That was just a joke.

Way to do us Canadians Proud!

YOu should try drinking a beer on the street in Scotland... it's the lager lout laws that will get you !

Friday night bevying and partying make it impossible now for ordinary poeple to do that!

The same with Japan. It's probably not about the "tall" beer, but that you're drinking on the street. In Japan, they have amazing looking bakeries on street corners. As I backpacked through cities, I'd stop and grab some rolls, and quickly learned that, socially, you aren't supposed to eat or drink anything on the streets. You should go find a private corner area to eat. But of course, space is limited, so there really were no places to "hide" and eat or drink. I got the same looks.

Hey, great video of John Chow in nice drinking mood! If you come to Ukraine, you will see a lot of students drinking from 2L plastic bottles, and nobody looks at you whatever you do (make video or else) :razz:

Really glad to see a vid of you chugging back some beer John. Excellent work! :) It will make for some nice material to use when you do your beer plugin follow up after you get back ;)

how does the beer compare to any other place?

haha...i can find any bigger size beer like this one in Hong Kong.

I think they beat you for that in some countries.

im just glad john changed his shirt. He was wearing the vista one for the whole week. :wink:

haha, I can't believe they actually split a beer between 4 friends. thats ridiculous. taiwan needs to man up.

Wow.. John I am having a 1L bottle of beer and reading your post.

Beer in India is around Rs 60-Rs 80 that may be arnd USD1.2.
Oh like US and CAN we are not supposed to drink in public places.

haha thats my kind of beer :) . Thats prety sad they split a beer 4 ways in Taiwan wheres the fun in that lol.

That buy-me-a-beer plugin finally pays off for time like this.

It make thinking back tho :???: .. I'm from Malaysia (muslim country) in a state of Sabah and it seems like no problem drinking beer on a street tho in here.. People go for beer on a coffee shop. As long as you are not a Muslim, you can go for a beer anywhere u like.

Hahaha!

I just pictured myself what happens when a person from Taiwan gets into Germany. He probably won't believe his eyes. :lol:

That's pretty funny. It reminds me of a college business school trip I took to China. We were students at the University of Wisconsin, and the beers were only $1.00USD. We drank all of the convenience and grocery stores near our hotels out of beer. Nobody drinks beer in China. We were the only people buying Tsingtao. We would walk into the stores, and the people who worked in them would point us to the liquor department, just because we were American.

Craziness, but we sure all had a fun time!

Splitting 1 l of beer among 4 people? Oh, I'll say :lol:

And in broad daylight too!

You say it's US$5 in Canada?
Wait until you buy one at the Sushi bars here ... more than 10.

Great one :) was it cold?

haha, thats a nice beer

they probably look at you not cause of the bear, but because it's generally not very smart to drink beer in the sun. I thought every beer drinker knew that ;)

I just went and bought a tall boy. :wink: (24 oz can)

lol drinking a 40oz in Taiwan. You would get weird looks doing that in a US city too lol

That's classic -- drinking a supersize can of beer in a foreign land, right in front of a Sogo even. LOL wish I was there drinking a can with you guys, too. :lol:

What? People share these cans among friends? What a bunch of wussies :)

Its pretty tiny John. You should go to Germany and have a keg.

I think its US & Canadian law that you are not suppose to drink at the beach and it may extend to other public place such as the city streets as well, not sure though...
