Taik (Local style Taiwanese)






There are many stereotypes in Taiwan. I will write one of most interest stereotypes which is call Taik. Actually, we can see the Taki in any city of Taiwan. Especially, most of them live in the southern of Taiwan. They have some special characteristic such as wearing fitting trousers, wearing fancy shirt, dying hair which is red, gold, yellow purple, having long hair, having tattoo, wearing white blue sandal, wearing gold watch and necklace, smoking all free time and speaking transnational traditional Chinese language. Therefore, most of Taik aren’t acceptance in Taiwan because some of them relate mafia and also bother women. In my opinion, they think that they are handsome and rich so most women should like them but it’s not true. However, Taik always make me feel disgusting, but sometime they make me feel funny. Because they never give up finding women who can make couple with them, they usually find many women in the same time. Finally, those behavior make that Taiwanese should sad or happy because their behaviors are so funny, but sometime it’s too rude. In my cause, I’m not proud of them because I think that they should consider that if their behaviors are correct or not.

So they all wear blue sandals!? That's really interesting and funny! There is an American stereotype that is similar. There are people in every culture that deviate from the norm in negative ways.
