Stereotypical ABC...Moi?
I've always found that Taiwanese have a bizarre stereotype of "ABC's". Everytime I meet someone or even long time friends, they always think my life is full of excitement and intrigue. They think us "ABC's" have some kind of secret club and handshake and we all get together every night, eat at the trendiest restaurants, and party at the clubs or lounges. Even more, they think we have tons of hot girls hanging around us all the time. Gosh, I wish it was all true...
I think in some ways, it kinda holds true...There is quite a small community of foreignly raised young chinese (don't like the term ABC) working in Taiwan and we do have social events to get connected and do enjoy going out and having nice dinners...Enjoying life overall...
So is the stereotype justified? I guess in some ways it does, and I don't really make that much of a effort to change it because I think it makes my life more interesting than what it actually is and my friends seem to like living through my so called exciting life. So no harm no foul.
Hmmm...maybe there are ABC's out there who are living the posh lifestyle that I don't even know about.... Damn!!!
