The state offices took the interns to an appreciation dinner last night at an Italian place near Taipei 101. I wouldn't say the food rocked my world - squid ink pasta, anyone? - but it was fun to converse with the local interns. They're very curious about how we do things in the good ol' USA, and last night afforded Kili, Cyndy, and I the opportunity to teach them some important expressions. If you see a Taiwanese girl in the states anytime soon, here's what she might be saying:
1. That's WACK
2. Keep it on the DL
3. Sketchy/Shady
4. Tight/Sweet
5. Let's BOUNCE!
6. PEACE OUT homie.
7. My Bad
8. Sexiled
9. Fugly
10. Mind's in the gutter
One of the girls took careful notes, and I think we've made a lasting impact on her vocabulary. A change for the better, I'd say.
Now I've got to PEACE OUT and get to work!
you didn't teach her JOKES???
