My last employer was a Taiwanese-owned company and I worked with a lot of Chinese / Taiwanese people. One day Yahwen and I were comparing the worst whoopins we ever got as children.
Here is his in his words, to the best of my memory:
“In Chinese households there is this kind of bump that goes over the threshold, and you aren’t supposed to step on it or it brings bad luck to the family.”
“And you stepped on it?” I asked.
“No…I was jumping on it.”
