    There is a pretty large Taiwanese community here in Flushing/Elmhurst, Queens.

    The way she speaks make me want to kill her just after 5 seconds of listening.

    Well, what do you expect her to sound like? She grew up here and learned English through American influences. If you don't like it, change the station!
