- When I was in college my senior year, I lived with a Taiwanese student
- who was getting his doctorate in classical guitar. His Taiwanese fiance
- came to live with us during the last half of the year, and her English
- was only at the minimal level that the Taiwanese government requires
- in order for Taiwanese students to travel abroad.

- She was extremely excited about everything Western, from food to clothes
- to music, and would jump up and down over the slightest things. I had
- told her that I was going to bring home submarine sandwiches for dinner
- one evening, and as usual she was thrilled by this. I came home with a
- friend and the sandwiches. My friend was plainly at a loss for words
- when we entered the apartment and an attractive oriental women grabbed
- me by the arm and said excitedly, "Joe! Take out your submarine so
- I can see how big it is! I can't wait to have it in me!"
