【到處牽拖】歐巴桑的建議

最近到我常拜訪的一個 blog 看到一篇文章是關於「老外」在台灣特別受到台灣女性青睞的故事。許多網友熱烈回應,回應的大多是另一半是老外,但是老公卻還是經常受到其他女生騷擾的受害者。我也蠻有感觸的 (不是小狗常受到騷擾的原因),因為台灣女生的名聲的關係。每當小狗走在我身邊 (在台灣時),外人最常出現的是兩種表情,一種是花痴型 (就是巴不得你身旁的老外是她的),一種就是不削 (就是心想你一定是那種膚淺只愛老外的女生,而且搞不好連英文都破破爛爛的)。這實在害慘了許多另一半是外國人的女生。
還記得我剛到南非的時候,為了認識台灣人,參加了一個聚會。會中一位中年的台灣太太問我,怎麼會到南非。我說是因為小狗的關係。當她知道小狗是南非人之後,就跟我說,她的女兒在南非長大,也是交了一個南非男友。戀愛七年,在南非結完婚之後,回到了台灣。女的教音樂,男的就教英文。結果因為太多的誘惑,台灣女生根本不在乎他是否已婚,一個貼過一個,外遇不斷,最後終於離婚了。言下是要我小心,這些南非白人,個個都非好東西。我只能笑笑,無法說什麼。但是當下心理的感觸很深。
我想每個人對這種情況的看法都不一樣。但是異國戀情絕非他人想像的浪漫。而且要付出的代價也不是大家都願意承擔的。文化的衝擊,生活習慣的融合,加上地理上的距離 (不管是你跟他住在台灣,或是住在他的國家,對一方的家庭而言,都是很遠的),這些的犧牲,長期下來,不是「浪漫」兩字可以彌補的。如果遇上了,那真是命運,也是沒辦法的事情。但是如果處心積慮想要交個外國男友,那可以要三思。

關於這樣的可恥現象,令人氣惱!之前,台灣女人夢想嫁入豪門,現在是嫁給外國人!女人本身的價值完全被忽視,好像只有靠另一半的照應才能顯示自已的價值!外國人也是人,外國生活不是一面的浪漫,那些為了用自已身體換取虛榮的女生們,實在不值得尊重!
My reply to your message on my website:
Monica: We did have a wonderful time in Fiji. The people we met really made the place. The under water world is also a must see. Unfortuantely the pictures we have taken lost in our hard disk, the computer now is under maintainace and hopefully we can recover most of our pictures. By then, I am not able to update my website. Finger crossed that most pictures can be recoved.
How have you been? Have you decided to go back to school yet?
Dear T&J,
真高興你又重出江湖了。歡迎回來。你說的沒錯,女人本身的價值被自己忽略。這其實也是台灣最近文化的「一窩瘋」現象。一昧的哈韓或是哈日,甚至於哈老外。對自己信心不足,要以 LV logo 或是另一半的成就,或是另一半的國籍,或是另一半的膚色,來突顯自己。
I've heard from so many people that Fiji is very beautiful. How about costs? Is vacation there expensive? If you like Fiji, I think you will like Palau as well. Friends told me it's like the heaven for divers. I haven't been to those pacific islands yet. Maybe I should start planning (and saving of course) to go.
As far as school is concerned, I"m still waiting for the university's reply. I figure that I'll decided when I got a notification from them. To be honest with you, I don't have much hope for it. Both my diploma and transcript are not original copies. So, let's see how God decides this.
Take good rest and post more about Fiji! :-)
Monica: The holiday to Fiji is not too expensive from New Zealand due to it is only 3-hour flight. We have thought of Palau as well and will definetly pay a visit one day. There are so many places to go and so little time. Never mind. If you have chance to go to Fiji, welcome to drop by in New Zealand.
As for school, that's probably an option. Sometimes you just cannot make a plan for everything. Hopefully the end result will be what you are looking for.
