On my own in Taipei, I learned so much about how the people of Taiwan think and behave. A place that has evolved so quickly industrially, technologically, and democratically still retains so much of what Westerners would consider unscientific at its best or superstitious at its worst--for example, asking for a potential employee's blood type as a means of determining personality or the practice of face and palm reading.
獨自居住於台北，我也一點一滴地慢慢瞭解了台灣人的想法與行為。工業與科技都急速發展的台灣，仍有著西方人視為不科學或甚至迷信的方面，比如有些老闆在雇用新員工前先探問應徵者的血型以判斷他的個性，看手相、看面相的風氣也依然盛行不衰。
