Aunties

Right now I'm in KinMen 金门, Taiwan. Will be heading off to XiaMen 厦门, China, in another 15 minutes so I'm just gonna make this quick.

Yesterday, me, my mama and my grandma spent the whole day touring the island. KinMen is an Island, btw.
We are going to XiaMen and meeting my Dad and bro there. Then we'll slowly make our way to my Aunts hous in KunShan 昆山, China, while playing along the day.
So right now I'm like the 3G. Haha. XD
Cause I'm the 3rd Generation and all.

Anyway, there were two tours, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Both tours go to different places in KinMen.
In the morning tour, there were 9 of us.
3 being us 3G, 2 men from Hong Kong, and 4 aunties from Taiwan.

The 2 Hong Kong men were youn, around 20.
Meaning, the aunties flirted. It is disgusting and awkward to watch.
But the guys were more happy-go-lucky and just joked around with them.

The aunties didn't really care abt me. Occasionally one of them will exchange a few words with me, a few sentences with my ma. Then either go back to their small group or talk to the men.
I'm gonna call them 2M, the aunties 4A and I'm 3G haha.

I'm running out of time. Skip to the main point.
At one of the sites we visited, a stall sold Tea Leaf Eggs(?) 茶叶蛋 in which they incorporated the taste of 高粱酒, which is KinMen's special wine.
They were selling at 15 yuan/egg, and one of the aunties bought 7 for 100 yuan.
The shop was at the top of a hill, and my grandma had joint pains and couldn't climb the huge flight of stairs.
So my mama waited at the foot with her.
Doing simple math, anyone can deduce that there were exactly 7 of us at the shop selling eggs.
Well the aunty went "I'll treat you 2 handsomest ok?" FYI, the 4A called them 'handsomes' as a noun.
So the two got the eggs. An I was standing right behind them the whole time and they just freaking ignored me. Even though there were exactly 7 of us, and 7 eggs.
The 4A left quickly, no extra egg left for me.

WTH right???
I hate such aunties.

The 2M stayed and they felt very awkward as well, but I'm not blaming them or anything.
So in the end, poor old me obediently payed for my eggs.
I bought 2 for my mama and grandma.

Here ends my tale of woe.
It's not the fact they didn't treat me that got me so worked up, it's the fact that they were so blatantly RUDE and BIASED that pissed me off.

Freaking flirts.
