We went to this all day pool party at a water park a few weeks ago. I was beside myself when I saw Taiwanese girls interpretation of a "pool party".
To me, the pool party meant: fun in the sun, water slides, acting silly with friends, no makeup (cause i'd be getting wet, duh!), summer dress, flip flops, dancing, beers, and getting tans.
To Taiwanese girls it meant: wear the smallest bikini possible, with high heels, a face full of make up, fake eyelashes, perfect hair, and go there to flirt with boys.
Even the girls that got in the water (there weren't that many who did because i've also learned that many Taiwanese can't swim), would run to the bathroom after getting wet to quickly touch up their makeup.
Talk about cultural differences. If I were to see a girl wearing makeup and high heels and fake eyelashes at a water park in the states, I would just laugh. Here, its normal. Actually, is expected. Now I know that I have to look and dress hotter at my next Taiwanese pool party in order to fit in.
Enjoy the video. I'm barely in it, but you can still get an idea of what the pool party was like!
