He sees the stamp from "ROC" and aggressively says "So Ms Reina.... you have been to... TAIWAN!" The way he say this everyone knows it is not good. He looks accusing at me. I am thinking fast and I reply him "Senor, but there is no such place as "Taiwan." There is only A RENEGADE PROVINCE OF CHINA." In the line, everyone they laugh so hard. The agent stamps my document and nearly throws my passport back to me with the visa.

Normally I am not so fast but on this occasion I did remember how to handle. jejeje!
