Before we look up the office words in Chinese, let me tell you a secret. We take a nap at noon. Since the work hours in China and Taiwan can be very long, employers are willing to allow the workers to take a 30 mins ish nap to keep their energy. To have a longer nap, most Taiwanese will prepare their lunch box or instant food for lunch. By the way, we do not like to eat a sandwich as lunch, because we do not like cold food. According to Chinese medicine, we need to keep our stomachs warm, so we can avoid wasting our energy.
