Especially when you mention that you are from Taiwan, they talk to you with all due respect. Ya, Taiwan! Not Thailand or China, it’s Taiwan! They may or may not have the understanding on any of the political issues between Taiwan and China, but they can certainly differentiate Taiwan from China (well, maybe based on the quality of their gadgets or whatsoever).
Why? I guess it’s probably because most of their gadgets are either made or assembled in Taiwan. This thought came to me after my “Operation and Customer Service” class, which consists of 7 members (one happened to be a Mac groupie/geek) and the instructor is certainly a geek (at least he claimed to be one of them). Anyways, just a little thought and I think this class is going to be interesting.
