The old grannies are Stayin' Alive!
You can tell by the way I use my wok.
Funny story about dancing grannies in Taipei, back in 2016. My boss asked me to go up from Kaohsiung to attend the Python Conference. But I was facing some very tight financial times, and paying several thousand NTD for the conference fee (which wasn't refunded by the company later) was difficult for me.
So I took a cheap night bus instead of HSR train, rode a city bike instead of the MRT, and arrived at 6 am for the conference at 11 am, hoping to sneak inside the conference venue during setup.
How could I loiter there without attracting attention? Well, there were a group of grannies dancing. So I joined them!
We had a great time, and some of them even offered to introduce me to their granddaughters. And when the time came, I bid them farewell, tailgated into the venue, opened my laptop and looked busy. The dancing grannies were so hospitable, though, welcoming a crazy foreign boy and being rather too trusting.
