Or I could pretend to be from Taiwan... most people probably can't tell anyways, its just the same Mandarin to them

If you say you're from taiwan, i think many people will say, "oh i love thai food!" 😆

    My ancestors are actually from Taishan. Not Taiwan, Taishan (台山).

    But if I say that irl, nobody would know where that is lmfao.

    (Guangdong Province... which is in Southern part of Mainland China)

    I spent like 6 months in 雲南 and 18 in 台灣 but yeah i'm not familiar with 台山.

    But for years afterwards people who i talked to would ask me about thailand, even a close friend took like 6 months to understand no, not thailand, somewhere else. I think most places you could speak cantonese and say you're from cambodia and no one would bat an eyelid 😆
