How to spot someone from Oversea

When I was a kid, I was really looking forward for Chinese New Year because it is the most festive season of the year here. Just like Christmas at the western countries. During this season, most of the family members will come back to gather and celebrate, even when they are oversea.

And during this season, the market will full of strangers we never see before. We can easily differentiate the local and the one just got back from oversea. Here are some tips:

1. Most of them have white skin because many of them work inside building with air con so they are rarely exposed to sun. 

2. The fashions are different, especially the girl. Wiko have seen something that somehow disturbing. In the heat of tropical place where the temperature could reach 38 C, a girl went to Wiko's shop wearing high-heel boots, big-framed shades, and a long fur coat. I wonder how she could survive

3. They talk in different accents or some of them totally forgot their mother tongue. I think it is normal when someone can't talk fluently in their mother tongue if they have been too many years oversea. But what doesn't make sense is when someone only been two years somewhere and they totally forgot how to speak Hakka. Like some girls who just got back from Taiwan and they speak Mandarin when they go shopping. Just what Wiko experienced. The girl with fur coat come to his shop bragging about how well she speak Mandarin. "這個多少錢?" "你有另一個嗎?". Luckily Wiko didn't answer her with Korean or Japanese or English for fuck sake. Yeah, he speak well in those languages and doesn't brag about it. 

4. They bring camera wherever they went. They will capture everything they see. A dog, a flower, someones house, or a bridge. 

So, Please, please, please, if one of you went back here just DON"T wear something that only suitable for winter and bragging about how well you speak alien language. It is disturbing.

  1. It is easiest to spot one at the airport too. You will know those who just came back from Taiwan. I dont know why Taiwan but those people came back from there tend to overdress. Celana kulit ketat atau rok pendek banget, boots, kacamata, rambut warna warni. Ya gitu deh
