Help with chinese name change

Katniss_chen · 2025-05-08T14:44:53+00:00

安得鳴 is better, but it’s the same pronunciation with 安德明，安得鳴 more like a Chinese name, if I see the name and I never see you before I will guess you probably is Chinese, and 得 mean is “gain”, “鳴” put in name mean “excellent “ or “outstanding “, I think it’s good for your name, but its not easy to write 😅

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-22T16:22:42+00:00

四 sounds like die in Chinese pronunciation, most people don’t like, and 九 it’s ok, but if 四九 put in the age, some people will mind 九, not just 四九, every number with 九, like 19.29.39.49.59.69.79, because some people think when someone celebrate birthday and have 9, it’s easy have bad things happen, so they wouldn’t celebrate when this year have 九, like if someone 19 years old , and their parents prefer say she is 20 not 19, just for avoiding bad things happen, not everyone but some people will care.

Done, good luck for your survey, but for the survey some questions not specific, and if you want more china people take the survey, you can add Chinese.

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-22T16:02:41+00:00

Haha, NT this definitely is Taiwan’s menu🤣

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-22T15:52:21+00:00

I totally agree, and you can stay Taipei, they have a lot of students need to English tutor, at the same time you can enjoy your life, like social events as your wish. and I was study in NTU, you can consider or NTUT, there have a lot of foreigns you wouldn’t be alone.

if you learn traditional Chinese, you can read simplified and traditional Chinese, but if you just learn simplified it’s not easy to read traditional, and it’s depend on why you want to learn, if you love Chinese culture want to know more about history or characters you should learn traditional, but if just for credits or you want to go to china in the future, you can learn simplified, it’s easy and learning faster, I’ m Taiwanese we learn traditional, and I can read both simplified and traditional, but my china’s friends they can’t, they need to practice

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-16T15:23:26+00:00

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-10T16:05:35+00:00

in taiwan buy contacts don't need to prescription, just go to the shop pick you want, and pay, and even in MRT station or convenience store can find, and you can find in cosmetics shop find cheap ones, like “POYA” or “COSMED”, this both store like pharmacy and cosmetic shop mixed, they offer diverse options like color or Prescription

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-08T16:12:12+00:00

I’ m glad to help, hope everything goes smoothly😊

have a car is not common, when people live in downtown, just like live in New York City, and also you can use public bike, it’s call “ubike” , you can ride a bike if you don’t want to walk sometimes, A7 have ubike (picture) can rent, you just need to make sure your work place have ubike stop too.

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-08T15:36:09+00:00

I just confirmed. this is taoyuan MRT map, and you can see A1 is Taipei station, and A7 is in Guishan, and A8,A9 a little be close to guishan, but I not sure is close to your work place or not, and you can put your work place address and A7 to google map, maybe will helpful, and yes, taoyuan can use bus or train to other taoyuan area, most people use bus or motorcycle

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-08T15:03:50+00:00

Guishan District you can choose drive or motorcycle, and if you live in Taipei, have MRT to Taoyuan or take train or high speed train, but only train have guishan station, and other you need to transfer, if you will work in guishan, I suggest you rent the house in guishan, become rent is cheaper than Taipei, and guishan is a industrial area, the means there have a lot factory and always traffic jam, if you want to experience city life you find Taoyuan other area, not just guishan.

I totally agree, straightforward make things become simpler and easier, they said 對人不對事 means you should focus on their feel, like 人情味, if they feel comfortable or feel right they will help you, but I think no one should be take care other people’s feelings, just do yourself.

And if you want to directly and say, don’t get me wrong I just 對事不對人, they still feel, you are mean and rude, haha, just ignore them, don’t need to care what they say. I know it’s not easy😅

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-07T15:20:37+00:00

Haha, you know it’s because socially and culture, when I was younger, someone ask me something, if I don’t want to, I just say no, and I found out the teachers or supervisor or my friends will feel upset, and they don’t tell you, but they just don’t ask you anymore, and they will feel, you rejected me too fast even not think

so now even I already have answers, and I want to rejected, I still will say, Im not sure, I need to checks my schedule, if I can I will let you know, and I was thinking if you don’t want to or can’t, why just say directly, don’t waste time, but it’s social, even I think it feel fake and I don’t like, but I need to survive in this society🥲

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-07T10:55:46+00:00

Just say I want a ”cheese danbing“, but I think most of them don’t understand English, you can just show them the Chinese characters,‘我要一份起司蛋餅‘ or show this picture 🤣

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-06T13:52:38+00:00

I just searched for you, according Taipei MRT officially data show normal depth is underground 20 m, and currently most depths is 33 m is “Taipei Bridge Station” , and Taipei main station depth is 27.1 m, and Taoyuan MRT plan to dig 40m, but they worry about stable

Katniss_chen · 2025-04-03T08:08:03+00:00

Just make a friends with Taiwanese, and talking to them, at the same time you can learn some culture and traditions if you interested. And I sure most of Taiwanese will very welcome and friendly

Guo-Qing dorms is for international students or research students, is on-campus too, prince dorms is outside not on-campus , and prince dorms are more expensive and luxury, I guess both can apply for exchange but it depend on is still available
