I’m Huge in Taiwan

I am sure that he meant it as a question, but he forgot to include the question mark.

Thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival, we had an extra day off of school. Julie, the girls and I spent it on Lamma island –a twenty minute ferry ride from Hong Kong island. We had lunch in a cute little vegetarian restaurant and spent the first half of the afternoon shopping our way from the center of the town down to the beach.

We had only been sitting on our beach towels for a few minutes when a man with a red microphone –followed by his colleague carrying an oversized video camera- approached us.

“We are from a Taiwanese t.v. station. We will begin filming you now.” Like I said, we had to provide our own question mark.

We agreed and thirty seconds later we were giving our opinion about Hong Kong beaches and all the other outdoor opportunities in Hong Kong. The whole interview lasted less than 90 seconds.

So, if any of those 500 cable channels you subscribe to gets a travel show from Taiwan, keep your eyes open. You may see us on the little screen.
