Are Taiwanese women, in the eyes of the Japanese, particularly fond of being late?

Do Taiwanese women really love being late when it comes to dates? Yoshimichi specially created the “Unified Taiwanese Women’s Invoice Lucky Number” table, stating that when you meet a punctual Taiwanese woman on a date, and if she also has good looks, is young, and dresses well, it’s like hitting different prize levels on a unified invoice — from the sixth prize, fifth prize, fourth prize, and so on. “Meeting a woman who isn’t late fills the air with happiness.”

Yoshimichi said he once worked in Taiwan for three years and has visited Taiwan for travel multiple times. Since most Japanese people don’t know much about Taiwan, he started drawing comics about his observations of Taiwanese people on Facebook, with no intention of mocking or ridiculing. Yoshimichi’s comics, often featuring unique insights, have attracted many subscribers. Regarding the “Unified Taiwanese Women’s Invoice Lucky Number,” many netizens responded by giving themselves a “valuation,” which was quite amusing.
