Taiwanese Gameshow!

I was on a Taiwanese Gameshow!!  On Monday night, after coming home from work, I saw a group of people hanging out in front of Uncle Sam's.  I checked it out, there was a cameraman and people holding lights.  Being a white person, I stand out.  I get asked by someone if I want to go inside, I told her, I wanted to know what's going on.  She explained to me, that it's a gameshow.  You get to play rock paper scissors against a Taiwanese celebrity and if you win, you get a sandwich for $1NT or $.03 US.  She asked if I wanted to play, I said yes and she took me to the front of the line, which is pretty sweet.  I called Jennifer to come over and check it out.  She got to play too.  Anyways, when I played against a celebrity, they asked if I knew  Chinese and I said in Chinese "Where's my newspaper?"  They said to the TV, "why does he know how to say that?  Oh, I know!  When he comes downstairs, he asks the people at the front desk, 'where's my newspaper?'"  To make a long story short, I beat some taiwanese girl celebrity by throwing rock.  They filmed me playing, ordering the sandwich in Chinese and eating the sandwich.  It was really cool.  I'll get to watch it on Friday.
