Gift for you

Today, I decided to buy my Chinese Studies professor a gift from Taiwan. So I bought her a mini-Taiwanese passport that said "Republic of China" on it. As it turns out, it was actually a two-pack of travel condoms. FML

She was probably disappointed that all you offered her were mini-condoms. Doesn't say much about what you're packing. Next time, visit Texas and bring her back some of our local condoms. You may not live up to that "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan, but it pays to advertise ;)

whoa~ um your Chinese studies prof doesn't happen to be from the mainland, right? If she is, you might be in some deep shit, not just for the condoms. Giving a mainlander anything that resembles a ROC/Taiwan passport?? Very very risky move in my book.

hahahaha so funny I saw those same condoms in the store yesterday!!!! there were also Taiwan Travel Permit and a United States of Condoms versions!! hahaha

why would you get her a resent from Taiwan if she is a Chinese studies prof? Because all Asians look the same?

When China became communist in 1949, the government left China and went to Taiwan. Taiwan was always apart of China but then formed their own country. The Taiwanese like to say they are the Republic of China hence the passport. The Republic of China was the government before China became the People's Republic of China. The People's Republic views Taiwan as a state of theirs. So depending on which perspective you look at it, Taiwan is either a state or a country. It is very similar to Hong Kong.

XD that's so funny haha dude. you couldn't tell? haha what was your professors reaction lol

2 qs: a)did she use them? and b)did you get some?

Maybe she has a thing for you, OP, and she didn't find it awkward. Or maybe she doesn't and was incredibly creeped out. 50/50 chance of it not being awkward.
