Yeah, Mom. I'm just really liking the vibe out here.

But what about college?

Please. College is for sheeple who don't know how to take education into their own hands.

Well...

Jenny, please take your future more seriously.

I am. I'm happier here than I ever was in the States.

What? Messing around in Taiwan is your idea of being happy? I just don't get it.

Mom, not everyone wants to be a big-shot lawyer like you, who puts work over everything else, including their own daughter.

I worked so hard so you could have a good life.

You want to live in Taiwan? Fine. You're an adult, but you're on your own.

Psh. Whatever. I can just keep staying at Ayi's until I figure out a plan.

I'm sure she won't mind.

Sorry, Jenny. Ayi loves you, but one year is enough.

Also, Ayi doesn't want to keep on doing your laundry forever.

All right, let's do the math.

My Mandarin learning mission here was supposed to last 12 months.

Per redundancy, my mom gave me three months of extra stipend, which I figure I can stretch to five months with 24 Mart food, fasting, a lot of fasting, and no more yoga membership.

That means I'll be able to afford a monthly rent of... 6,000 NT.

Oh, dang.

Luckily, I'm a Gen Z-er.

Taiwan will come to fear my internet skills.

Uh, excuse me. Can I borrow your hotspot?

Oh, nice. Even the dead have better housing than me.

So I guess that's it for the Jenny Show. It was fun while it lasted.

Hey, Jenny. What are you doing?

Hi, Uncle Kevin. Oh, I'm visiting a friend's house.

Great view, but the food tastes like nothing.

Oh, ha ha ha. So are you still looking for a place to live?

Yeah, I am. Wait, how do you know that?

Our family actually has an empty studio apartment in Shilin.

Your mom told me to let you stay there.

Oh, my God, really? I guess my happiness does matter to her.

But she told me to charge you 10,000 a month.

Wait, what? - Okay, bye.

Uh, uh, 10,000 a month. I can manage that.

Here's to my future in Taiwan.

Ahem.

Hello.
