ROC & DROC, no, it's not Taiwan & China, it's Congos

The confusion over the ROC (Republic of China, which is Taiwan's formal title) and PROC (People's Republic of China, ie., China) is not unique.

There are two neighboring countries named ROC & DROC. That is, Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerally, as Zaire)

When in Greece, be a Greek

如果在希臘,
看到的是Greek alphabet.
那是不是要點菜時,要說,
給我一個APPLE (pi)
買內衣褲時,要說
我要一件 (delta) 褲.
