Easy-going vs. Principle

Before last night, I have chatted with Katreeya many times about African. We all met a Gambia guy but not the same person. And she has special emphasis that she did not have racial discrimination, but the guy is strange to ask her to go Gambia. As for me, I thought I have said very clearly to that Gambia guy, we are just internet pals, and so far I still confused how he could find my msn account to add. However, it is not a big problem. Since before I did a dumb thing during the 2009 World Game in Kaohsiung, every one knows how I love my city, and I really want to promote my city, then I told him that he could come to Kaohsiung city to watch the game for World game. Thus he asked to meet me and hoped me to show him around. It happened in last summer. Of course I don't want to meet him and I told him that we were just internet friend. He said that I am quite right many many times and some other words to make me thought I hurt his heart.
Oh I want to complain on my blog now, because our Taiwanese boys don't do that kind of things, if they do like that and they would not mention that in the future, unless the girls ask him. At this point our boys have a high quality, I have met many Taiwanese boys on interpals and also from my city, but they didn't ask for this kind of requirements. Of course if you asked them like go aboard to send the postcard to you, they will also be polite. But we are not islamic country, not like some male muslims always claim how good to treat female in their religion and it needs to remain conservative. We are free in many fields but we respect each other.
Back to the topic, the first time this Gambia guy told me that our people are cold just because he wanted to learn Chinese and he spoke English to ask for other classmates to be taught him, I can imagine our people must tell him that "My English is poor and Chinese is very hard, don't ask me." Yet his university also offer him for 2 hours Chinese course every week. Basic on Gambia has diplomatic relations with Taiwan and he also studied in Taiwan, even help him and teach him Chinese in free, it's no problem to me. Because I really want to have the Dutch spirit to make friends all over the world. I have recognize that Taiwan is a small country, we must have an international perspective and deal with the world. After that, he found a new execuse to ask me meet him, he told me I am so kind and he thought he owed me too much, and he will feedback to me one day. Also he told me that he wanted to thank to me face to face. At first I have told him that if you really want to thank to me, you can feedback to other people who indeed, especially your country, because I know there are many poor and serious infectious diseases. And it is the good feedback. I forgot how many times that I have refused him inderectly. He always did not give up, last night he said hi to me, I had already impatient to meet him, just repiled the standard answer like "fine, thanks." And I didn't ask him, because he always told me that how busy he is, so what? It's not my business, right? I am also busy, and the thing like he asked my about Taiwan's questions or Chinese language questions, I must answer to him. I also would like to correct his Chinese errors, he told me that he was busy. It's fine, you can depend the time to send to me correcting. In addition, I am honest to tell him that I would be very busy in summer time because I have more hours to earn money. But after that, he asked me keep teaching him in summer because he could stay in Taiwan not go to other country for summer course. If he really thought he owed me that, he could pay me tuition not for free. To meet me for feedback? How? How could I know you have other special intention?

Well, the bad thing is I told him that I am very very busy in summer vacation, then he still didn't give up the opportunity, he told me he could come to my city whenever and I could be his guide as long as I have free time, June, July, August or September. At that time I was almost crazy. Yes, I am easy-going, if it is not a big problem I always say okay. But it didn't mean I don't have my own principle. I just don't want to have conflicts and hurt others' feeling. Not to be insatiable.
