WTO姐妹會
WTO姐妹會 is a variety show out of Taiwan. The show has 8 guests that are not native to Taiwan. Each show presents a subject matter and the guests give their view from the country they originate from. Sometimes, the subject is how something in Taiwan is "weird" to them.
On the other side is the host and 3 (or more sometimes) celebrity guests. These guests can be random or they have some experience with the days subject matter. Nothing is guaranteed.
Most of the 8 WTO gals are married to Taiwanese husbands and have kids. However, the rotation isn't the same 8. Every show seems to have different gals.
It's slowly become one of my favorite shows because of the "foreign" experience they explore and present. Mind you that many topics on Taiwan variety shows would be considered non-PC, WTO isn't immune to this.
The guests originate from countries such as China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, South Africa, Poland, Belarus, England, Brazil, Paraguay and the US. All of these guests are pretty proficient in their Mandarin. If I had to carry on a conversation with them in Mandarin, I would get schooled. (Yes, my Chinese gets worst by the day)
You can check out all the episodes on Youtube or look for GTV. It's on from Monday through Thursday.
