Congratulations on my heritage. (Repost with an added scene.)

1.
(At Nathan's in Coney Island. Sharing table with a woman, maybe in her fifties.)

Woman: So where are you guys from?
Me: I'm from Taiwan.
Woman: Taiwan?
Me: Do you know Taiwan? It's a small island close to China.
Woman: Ohhhhh, I know Taiwan! The food there is very good.
Me: (Surprised.) Yeah, the one thing that I miss the most is food. (Thinks.) She's been to Taiwan?
Woman: I have a friend in Taiwan. She's a missionary. She can't eat your food because it's too hot and spicy for her stomach, but she said it was very good. (Cell phone rings.) Excuse me. (Talks on the phone.)
Me: (Turns to JC. Whispers.) Hot and spicy food?
JC: She probably meant Thailand, not Taiwan.
Me: (Suddenly realizes.) Oh, you're right.

BC: So, Florence, someone in the department told me you were from Vietnam.
Me: Me? From Vietnam?
BC: You're not?
Me: No, I'm from Taiwan.
BC: Well, they apparently told me the wrong country. I'm sorry.
Me: Haha... It's alright!

(At a bar)

Guy: Are you Japanese?
Me: Nope. :)
Guy: Chinese?
Me: Uh huh, I'm from Taiwan.
Guy: Taiwan!
Me: Yup. Do you know Taiwan? It's a small island close to China.
Guy: Yeah, I know Taiwan. Taiwan is good! A lot of my electronic devices are made in Taiwan.
Me: Hehe, yeah, that's the Taiwan I'm from.
Guy: Congratulations... (Sticks out hand, wanting to shake hands.)
Me: ???
Guy: ... on your heritage. Taiwan is good!
Me: Oh, thank you! (Shakes the guy's hand. Thinks.) Congratulations on my heritage??? Quite amusing.

DC: I don't know. You do look a bit Viet-Thai to me.
SC: You know why? Because you dress like Vietnamese.
Me: Do I?
RC: No, that's Taiwanese style! And a little bit French.
SC: Hey, Vietnam was ruled by France.
JH: She dresses in a unique personal style.
RC: Yeah, she has her own style.
DC: Like Asian-Bohemian?
Me: Ah, Asian-Bohemian! That's my favorite so far.
