Taiwanese Talk 3: “Xie Xie Guang Ling!”

“Thanks for your patronage!”

That is what this phrase meant in Mandarin.

But we had not bought anything from this KFC restaurant in Keelung Miaokou vicinity! ;-)

miaokou Taiwanese Talk 3: Xie Xie Guang Ling!

... Miaokou - rich ambience of Taiwanese night markets! ...

Oops, I need to take a pee..

After hours spent eating-as-we-thronged the popular Miaokou night market, my younger nephew wanted to take a pee.

My wife stayed with the older nephew as they queued for fried chicken cutlet at a street corner. I led the nephew with his urge. We scurried around and located this building housing a 3-storey KFC fast food restaurant.

On our rush in, I noticed that the counter crew had not said a thing nor noticed our entry. Uncle and nephew took the stairs to the third floor for the washroom.

Thanks anyway!

On our way out however, a crew gal saw us and shouted the thanks loud and clear.

While I let go of the glass door closing behind us, I looked at my nephew. We exchanged broad grins, hurrying along to meet the rest of the group. ;-)

Fun!
