Thanks for the input on "Carnegie's", guys. In what must be my most stereotypically laowai week I've had yet, I've got a new dilemma. I've been invited on a Taiwanese talk show where the topic is : "歐美女生看台灣男生(感情，生活...)" (How white girls see Taiwanese guys [feelings, lifestyle...]) Does anyone know anything about this show/going on TV in general? Do you all feel like it is a good platform for communication or just being made into a foreign monkey? I don't even have a TV so I really don't know what to make of this.

I will pay you 5000nt to go on that show and instead of answering just say something about how "Taiwanese girls are easy". I'd pay you more but if you do a convincing enough job you should get a half dozen more bookings of people wanting you to say the same crap on their equally offensive talk show.

e: ^ Actually it's 大學生了沒 but I really can't tell the difference between these shows Haha, that bad huh? I had a few classmates do one about night market food that seemed pretty innocuous but this particular topic sounds like it could go to hell real fast... I too like to go on TV and just be a normal person and let Taiwan know foreigners are just normal people. But I have a feeling they will push the dialogue towards stand-up comedian style "White girls do THIS, but Asian guys do THAT" generalizations hitension fucked around with this message at 09:22 on Nov 12, 2014 |

This reminds me of an Apple Daily article http://www.appledaily.com.tw/realtimenews/article/life/20141014/487401 Literally the entire article is just "Pretty Russian girl studies in Taiwan". I kept waiting for actual news to occur but there was none. Around NTU/NTNU/NCCU it's not even that rare to see a pretty foreign girl! WTF

hitension posted:Thanks for the input on "Carnegie's", guys. tmk the show is okayish "eh, it's on" fodder, it normally just has Taiwanese people on it so it's much less of a foreigner monkey show. I'd say go ahead and go on it as it could open doors into doing variety show work if you care about that kinda thing. I know a guy who goes on variety shows occasionally and it's just talking about/on whatever the topic of the day is - he never has to do/say stupid or cloying stuff.

TetsuoTW posted:"Pretty girl does thing, is pretty" is basically the squirrel on waterskis of Taiwanese news media. That reminds me of the other volleyball chick that around 1% of the white people I knew, thought was attractive. While all the Asian guys I knew were spamming her link all over Facebook. Ahh well it works out best for everyone involved...well actually only the Asian guys who are rich enough to date Russian girls.

The show is starting from a racially charged premise. It's literally about race. The only way that could be any fun is to go in there and try to troll everyone by insisting that white people are elves with night vision and immortality.

Apparently she totally didn't gently caress Zhang Fei and then totally wasn't banging a TV exec. Then it seems like she just kind of vanished a couple of years ago.

I love how that article tries to make it sound like naturalizing to ROC nationality is totally the fault of the OTHER countries for not allowing dual citizenship when really it's Taiwan that forces citizens to abandon their original citizenship before naturalizing, leaving them stateless for however long the naturalization application process takes (and perhaps forever if it is rejected). Oh and Taiwan-born citizens don't have to give up their ROC citizenship if they acquire a dual citizenship. I mean, the situation is still better than China I guess... was reading about how basically no foreigners can get permanent residency there? WTF? So you just renew your visa every 1-3 years for perpetuity?

Oh and Taiwan-born citizens don't have to give up their ROC citizenship if they acquire a dual citizenship. Hey that WAS the case but Obama and Xi just had a pow-wow and now you can get 10 year visas (AMERICANS ONLY). Also  if anyone actually wants to live in the PRC forever.e: Foreign experts can get 5 year visas if the company has the right paperwork. Still, renewing your visa is a very trivial thing to do if you have all your paperwork in line/are legally supposed to be here. It takes like 1~hour of sitting in a waiting room to drop off some papers then coming back to pick them up a week later. Hell, normally your company will just make a secretary or someone do it for you so it's basically one week you're stuck and can't travel. 99% of the crazy Chinese visa stories people tell are when they get recruited to teach ESL by a sketchy company who has them come over on a tourist visa, then games the system in ways/guanxi to get them a semi-legal working visa/a longer-duration tourist visa. People who work for companies who do all the footwork and stuff legally have zero issues with visas and visa-related stuff. Though to be honest, I know plenty of people out of ESL who have perfectly "legal" Z visas they probably shouldn't (China mandates 5+ years working experience to even qualify for non-ESL working visas now and seems to be enforcing it, so all these 28 year olds with Master's degrees probably are missing at least a couple years), so I think non-ESL companies are just better at bending the rules since if they're hiring foreigners they really, really need people with specific skills to fill a role and are willing for fork over the cash and maotai to get this stuff done.

For the TV show I suggest you create an entirely bogus theory on the way in which iris color and eye folds effect vision and answer everything according to your faux science in literal ways.

Getting permanent residence in Taiwan is pretty drat easy and the only thing that really separates me from citizenship I guess is the inability to vote which also separates a lot of legitimate Taiwanese citizens from their own citizenship so no harm no foul I guess?

There's a giant poster in my neighborhood where the candidate, a woman, is dressed like a fantasy mmo character and pointing a sword at the camera. I'd vote for her (if I could) just for that, even if her campaign platform was "deport all foreigners."
