[🏮Story of Pingxi's Sky lantern]
Earlier when the Han chinese just immigrated to Taiwan, the village is not safe because of the aboriginals. Most people hid in the mountains and some stayed behind.
When the aboriginals left, the ones who stayed in the village released the lanterns at night to tell the ones in the mountains that it's safe to come back😜😜🙈
Nowadays we just write our wishes on it and hope it will come true.⭐

(But thinking in an environmental protection way or in a logical way…🤔I'll vote for just watching💁🏻♀️)

[What time did you sleep on Chinese New years eve!]
👲In our custom we have to "stay up all night for new years eve"? Okay, maybe not all night, but at least until 12!
📌In chinese we call this 守歲 (Shǒusuì)
守:keep, protect
歲:age
Sounds quite funny right, but there's a deeper meaning behind.
For the elders, it means to say goodbye to the passed ages, to cherish the time you have left. For the youngers, it means "keeping the time" you have left with your parents, in hope to have more time with them.
Happy 🐷 Year

[Definition of FRIENDS in Korea/韓國人對朋友的定義🇰🇷]
前幾天韓國朋友問了我一個有趣的問題
「你在國外碰到台灣人,就算年紀不一樣也可以當朋友嗎😯」
我說:「當然啊!」
心想這是哪裡蹦出來的疑慮,經過她的解釋才知道
👭對韓國人來說,「朋友」只會用來定義跟自己同年紀的人
就算相差一歲也是,這也歸咎於他們的"敬語文化"
遇到年紀比自己大的就不用說了,如果他們遇到了感覺跟自己年紀差不多的人時,除了介紹自己的名字,介紹自己是幾年次也是非常重要的,看看到底誰是前輩誰要用敬語。
在外面我們可能會看到一群韓國人聚在一起,但是大家都是朋友嗎?要問了他們的年紀以後才知道!
或許對他們來說,就算在陌生的國家,跟不同國籍的相處反而比較自在比較容易交朋友。大家都說英文,管你幾歲敬不敬語的。
Few days ago my korean friend asked me
"Can you be friends with other Taiwanese if they are older than you?"
"Of course🤷🏻♀️why not?"
In the beginning I thought that was a weird question, but after her explanation...
👭In korea, the definition of "Friend" is only to those who are exactly the same age as oneself, and this is because in Korea, using "Honorific" toward elders is a Must, even if they are just one year older than you.
🤝So in korean greetings, whenever you meet someone new, except for saying your name it is also important
tell your age also.
Whenever you see a group of koreans, are they all friends? You can tell by their age!
Whenever we're in a foreign country, you might be more comfortable staying with ppl who has same nationlity as you, but for koreans it might be a different case. 🤷🏻♀️
