Actually, the same happens in Canada, but at least there I can talk to someone (after waiting on hold, pressing several buttons, and being transferred and having to call around a few times until I get the correct human)! ;) Yes, I guess the story is the same all over.

There really is no other option. (Well, crying, I guess, but smiling is so much better.) It is nice to know that we here in Taiwan are not the only ones who deal with things we don't quite get . . . every time I've paid my taxes in the last four years the procedure has been different; students getting to "graduate" who have actually failed some of their senior courses, and so on. It is nice to feel . . . "oh, I can SO identify!" . . . . even though you are in a different country, loving on and sharing Good News with a different people in a different land. So thanks for sharing and reminding me that I am NOT alone. Ahh . . . you just have to smile. There really is no other option. (Well, crying, I guess, but smiling is so much better.)
