I have never seen anyone refuse the shark fin soup at a wedding banquet though. Would you refuse? Would you tell other people to refuse? I wouldn&#39;t since it might be considered rude for a foreigner to do so. Would you?IslaFormosahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13010915808850506275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205275.post-55506793070898149172009-08-09T01:34:56.286+08:002009-08-09T01:34:56.286+08:00Neil Huang:<br />Agree! Jessie.<br /><br />When i was working for hotels, chefs told me that actually it&#39;s not really that huge amount of &quot;fin&quot; we could buy.<br /><br />As for people keep talking about how Taiwanese eat shark fins, especialy being discussed by non-Taiwaneses, and so-called environmentalist. I don&#39;t really care about it, because i don&#39;t do it. and why should I be categorized? just let them talk because it seems they never do anything that is not eco-friendly. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26205275.post-39105426579513855672009-08-09T01:34:20.324+08:002009-08-09T01:34:20.324+08:00Jessie Lin:<br />personally i don&#39;t know any friends who love shark fin. older people are like that but for the new generation, they love hamburgers and fries. though i have to admit that what you said might be true and the worst thing is that most taiwanese just don&#39;t really care. there&#39;s still a lot needed to be done. however, i guess it&#39;s just like i couldn&#39;t believe or understand why people still hunt in Canada ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
