hehe...maybe, i had a trip with a "good brother"..who knows?

good brother? what does that mean?

good borther=phantom in chinese slang of tw

^^ which chinese slang? u mean somethin like Taiwans 福建话?

in fact, i should have said "mandarin slang of taiwan" but it works too with taiwanese language. and i even wonder if this expression doesn't come from the taiwanese language...

I've never heard of slang before, I'm assuming it's 好兄弟 ? I thought it would be a Minnan slang before you said it was Mandarin :-\

Lovely photos BTW :)

good borther=phantom in chinese slang of tw


oh, i thought it was slang for boyfriend. so you're dating a phantom then?

I've never heard of slang before, I'm assuming it's 好兄弟 ? I thought it would be a Minnan slang before you said it was Mandarin :-\

Lovely photos BTW :)thanks ;)

yes, good brother is refered to 好兄弟. but to be honest, i don't know exactly if this slang expression comes from mandarin or minnan. now, there are a lot of expression like that in tw, you can pronounce both of them in mandarin and in taiwanese..i heart mostly this expression in mandarin, but that proves nothing.

oh, i thought it was slang for boyfriend. so you're dating a phantom then?no, in taiwan, the slang for homosexual is "comrade"(同志). and i'm interested only in LIVING and YOUNG GIRLS, if it's possible..:D

no, in taiwan, the slang for homosexual is "comrade"(同志). and i'm interested only in LIVING and YOUNG GIRLS, if it's possible..
同志:lol: :lol: :lol:
毛澤東同志:lol: :lol: :lol:
Isn't he a gay?:bash: :bash:
Now,In Hk and Mainland,when you refer to同志，We will think the meaning of gay 2!:lol: :lol:
Taiwanese(Minnanese is very Orphean) One of my classmates in college from Minnan can understand Taiwanese!
when we watch康熙來了or我猜猜，when they speak Minnanese,I cant understand,but my classmate cant help laughing all the time:ohno: :ohno: :ohno:
Taiwan is so nice,pierre-laurent,thank you for sharing!:cheers:

thanks Great han!

the end of the trip...:cheers: :nuts:

that lake and its surrounding looks very pretty! 好宁静又漂亮.. :cool: nice pics!

謝謝你的誇獎。actually, this also is my favorite trip during my stay in tw. we had choosen to have a ride by this road by chance, because nobody knew this circuit. after, we've noticed that it has been a good choice. we have discovered only good surprises after other ones. nobody was able to believe there still is such a landscape in northern tw. quiet forests, impressive valleys, delicious mountain peaches from lala mountain and mountain polynesian girls as beautiful as tahitian...(if i know it before, i'd have spent more time in mountains....:lol: )

^^ 什么!! theres even polynesian girl!? but i do agree wit u its a surprise to see places like these in Taiwan.. most of the pictures shows on TV or the net only shows the urban area or little parks of Taiwan and nothin much bout its nature or backyard! soo thx for ur pics buddy! :cool:
