TW-US

I know which friends you’re contacting…

Which friends am I contacting? 😅

Your Taiwanese-American friends. They’re content creators. Based in America.

🤣🤣🤣 I forgot about them! That’s actually not a bad idea 💡

Ugh… are you sure you can trust them to not tell anyone?!

You think I can’t trust them?

I think that… they’ll still gossip but reel themselves in about any details that gives too much away…

No… I don’t think they’re like that…

They’re TAIWANESE. They’re gonna be like that…

How can you say that about your own people?! 😅

Sigh. My baby. I do trust them as nice Taiwanese people. But I also don’t fully trust them because I am Taiwanese and they are Taiwanese and I know the extent of the gossip boundaries.

LOLOL WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣

Sigh. Fine. Do whatever you want. I just wouldn’t be surprised. I don’t blame them either. But I know how Taiwanese gossip. I know what it will sound like. The small hints without giving away actual details.

Does it matter, then?! I don’t even feel the need to ask them to sign an NDA. I don’t usually trust people but these friends seem legit. I find myself genuinely trusting them.

Yeah… they’re legit… you can “trust” them — sort of…

😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣 I still don’t understand what you’re saying.

It’s more likely that people will ask the girl, “Does he really have a girlfriend?!” And she will say, “Well, isn’t that a logical reality?! How surprising is it, really?! For him to have a girlfriend?!” And that’s really, really NORMAL SMALL TALK GOSSIP for TAIWANESE…

Ahhhh… I didn’t know about this…

That’s why I’m telling you now!!!!!!

😅 If that’s all that it will be, that’s fine! Trust me, I don’t mind it. And it seems even my Taiwanese fan base doesn’t really give a shit if I have a girlfriend. They already told me what they talk about in the Taiwanese forums. Most fans seem to accept this is a very logical reality.

Yeah… Taiwanese are like that… it’s more weird that you have a whole culture and industry that seems to revolve around hiding it… 😅

We are still different cultures, even if sometimes we share similarities…

Is that what you’re learning from those friends too?!

I haven’t met up with them yet. I was just contacting them about the next meet up. They’re still in America. It’s either they fly back to Taiwan for a mini trip and/or I’ll meet up with them when I’m in the U.S.

Yeah… I can see you’re gonna do both…

You think so?

Yes because you’re bored otherwise, without me… physically there…

True…

So you might as well catch up with some of your own Taiwanese friends and try to understand my culture through them… and those friends are more helpful too because they’ve grown up in America which is similar to growing up in Australia for me… of course it’s not exactly the same but similar enough…

Yeah… do you have many Taiwanese-American friends?

Not many but some… yeah…

So you all “get” each other?

YES… Taiwanese-Australian, Taiwanese-New-Zealand, Taiwanese-American, Taiwanese-Canadian, Taiwanese-British… yeah… oh, Taiwanese-South-African…!

Holy…….. how many FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE?!?!?!

These are more acquaintances by the time you count the British and South Africans… even the Canadians — acquaintances, not close friends.

😅😅😅 okay… well… I’ll start with MY Taiwanese-American friends and get their advice, opinions, on some stuff… I’m not going to fully do exactly what they recommend, but I just want to hear some other opinions. I just want to learn more, from people I can trust… get a broader perspective…

That’s good, hunny bunny. I’m genuinely happy for you if you feel like they are those types of friends.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the girl is a little shaken at first though…

Why?!

I don’t know, maybe she always thought you were gay?!

You think so?!

Your characters… 🙃

😅😅😅 Oh yeah, maybe she thinks I’m gay…

I’m gonna leave that with you… how will you “come out” as “straight”… 😏

😅😅😅 It’s fine, I actually talk to the guy more. I think he can pass on the message to his girlfriend…

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if she turns out to be related to some people I know in Australia… because she looks like them… but nobody has revealed the extent of their family trees to the point of saying “oh I have this cousin in America, she’s a content creator, bla bla bla…”

😅😅😅 okay my love… I guess that sorta stuff doesn’t really matter for now…?

No, you’re right. It doesn’t matter. I’m glad you’re reaching out to more friends. It’s more healthy. I’m happy for you about that.

🥰🥰🥰 I LOVE YOU ❤️❤️❤️

I love you too 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
