These sorts of incidents are actually extremely rare in Taiwan. Most foreigners here feel that the Taiwanese people are very warm and hospitable. The incident at Siwei Market certainly didn't deter David Mayer from marrying his girlfriend, and he agrees that "most Taiwanese are very friendly to us."
以上的情節，其實是少之又少的特例，在台的老外大多認為台灣人熱情好客，如後來娶了女友的梅漢強所言：「大部分人對我們都很友善。」
