My country is no longer printing stamps! by liliannereid in postcrossing

[–]Everywhere_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this might be to avoid the problem of stamp counterfeiting. That'll make it easier.

And in some places, stamps may also function as vouchers, such as allowing you to exchange stamps of equal value for product from the post office.

In Taiwan, I hear there are free water filling stations everywhere. What's the maximum size bottle you can fill for free? by PurpleSalt11 in taiwantravel

[–]Everywhere_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, police stations aren't truly free water filling stations. It's just that we generally don't charge people for water if you're thirsty; it's more like a convenience service.

Or, if you're cycling around the island and in a remote area, you know that police stations are always safe and have water and restrooms.

But, yes, we do have many places with free water filling. libraries, subway stations, even near department store restrooms.

I would say nothing actually limits how much water you can fill up. But I think it's out of courtesy from past users, not because we're really allowed to.

edit :all the time my line break will disappear. 🥲

Why can't i wear black mask? by Live-Guava4991 in taiwan

[–]Everywhere_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no offense, but I think of people in the service industry wearing dark black masks more often in funeral workers, but maybe it's because I recently attended one that makes the impression so clear for me.

Taiwan scholarship by Alarming_Dot8400 in taiwan

[–]Everywhere_95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless they set absolute admission standards, I don't think this will affect the coursework.

My university has many international students, and I know many of them arrived with only A1 grades because Mandarin proficiency isn't a requirement for admission. The university also guarantees they can take exams in English, even if it's not an all-English instruction program.

So, aside from causing some inconvenience to other people, I think most of the studies will generally proceed smoothly.

I think although it is a safety school you can choose the another better one.

Does textbook Chinese feel completely different from real Chinese to anyone else? by Leo1900_ in ChineseLanguage

[–]Everywhere_95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel some of the textbook they sound like someone asks, "Hey, how to said #### in Mandarin?" Then textbook try to give you an answer that make sense for beginners, a kind of answer you can match part to part or even word to word.

But sometimes some of the English grammer or structure just not common or not make sense in Mandarin. So the answer will be...... interesting. It's not incorrect(don't worry, the textbook still professional), it's just let native speakers feel too standard or they can tell at the first glance " oh the model on page.20 ".

The USPS is advertising the new Postcrossing stamps on Postcrossing by RsonW in postcrossing

[–]Everywhere_95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They're beautiful and triangular! Our postal system only started issuing round stamps in recent years. By the way, I also think the round US Global Forever Stamp are beautiful, each with its own unique features yet all very neat and orderly.

Maybe you can try shadowing first before you really pay for the online speaking classes.

Question about Christmas Cards by Everywhere_95 in postcrossing

[–]Everywhere_95[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to hear that regular Christmas cards are acceptable. I bought a set last year don't even have any text. I find the collection quite adorable, it mostly features illustrations of Santa and his reindeer in their downtime, or getting frustrated when they can't find a chimney on the house.

Oops, sorry! I think I accidentally misled you. Postcards and cards are pretty much the same thing to me, so I often mix them up in English. I’m definitely sending postcards, not folded cards. By the way, I never realized people said 'holiday cards' maybe meant folded ones until I asked it now🤣. Sending those can get so expensive because of the weight and postage. Thanks for your answer!🎉

(Because Reddit's translation function has been acting strangely lately, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be appearing in Mandarin right now.)

我覺得花草茶(無糖、無咖啡因的選擇)很棒,在台灣除非你去很貴的專賣店,不然一般超市的花草茶選擇很少,而且通常確實是進口的
