💡 Fun fact about me

A crazy thing: Once, when flying back from Japan to Taiwan, my flight was delayed. I helped two groups of strangers from Taiwan book tickets on other flights (because their SIM card couldn’t receive the verification code), and after returning to Taiwan in the middle of the night, I immediately rented a car from Taoyuan with one of the groups of strangers and drove to the south. (The money was transferred back later!)
