Backdated to 15/09/07 – “Lim tah tah, seh lum par” (Southern Taiwanese Hokkien saying)

It means “Finished up your tea, and have sons.” Not politically correct thing to say but it’s their traditional saying. The guests from certain parts of southern Taiwan – may not be all of them – will utter this to the newly wed at the end of their wedding dinner while on their way out. That was a culture shock for me, I wish I was making it up, and I thought I understood the Chinese culture. Surprise!
