I got Yelled at For Wearing My Favorite “Red” Mango Top

First of all, Happy New Year all!!

Last night, I picked out my favorite red Mango jacket I bought two weeks ago and put it on with my blue jeans. It was freezing cold, and I was ready to stay inside to watch “FRIENDS” with my ex-roommate. I stayed in for the count down, and we just had a cozy night! But, before I go in depth about my cozy night, first let me tell you about my food adventure.

So we took a short walk to the famous Noodle stand in the county. And remember this: I was wearing my new “RED” mango jacket (they keep me so warm!). I walked to a noodles stand to order some take away U-don noodles with hot Miso soup. As I was about to order, the stand lady gave me an evil look and she angrily said “Are you against him or what?! Why are you people so dumb?”For a second, I was stunned and I didn’t know what to say. I looked at her, and look at my friend. Having no idea what she was saying, I ignored and ordered my food. “No, You still haven’t answer my question! Why?” Before I could say anything, she started blabbering about politics which I did not quite get, until my friend whispered in my ears that it was the “RED shirt” that I was wearing. Basically, the color red is now consider a taboo color in the politics. To summarize it up is that there are two different camps associated with particular colors: the former ruling KMT (Kuomintang) Blue camp and the current ruling DPP (Democratic Progressive Party) Green camp. Just recently there has been a protest going on with a large group of protesters wearing the color Red that the President should stand down. I won’t go into the details, but red just means that you are against, and if you were to wear green then you are not against.

I walked away from the noodle stand and decided to eat something else. I didn’t know my Red Mango top would cause me so much trouble! So what about the up coming Chinese New year? What color am I suppose to wear if I will get yelled at for wearing red? If you didn’t know, being in Taiwan, one of the most important holiday is Chinese New Year. It is the biggest holiday celebrated among Chinese people. It is a time when families and friends get together to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Homes are decorated with flowers and paper decorations stating wishes of prosperity, good luck, happiness, good fortune, wealth, and longevity for the coming year. Red and gold are very popular colors to decorate with. Red represents power happiness, vitality (and scares away beasts). Gold represents wealth and good fortune. But, what’s going to happen now? Am I going to get in trouble for wearing Red on Chinese New Year?
