In this episode, Jen and Paul share a funny story from Taiwan, where hundreds of people changed their names to include the word “salmon” — all for free sushi! But when the promotion ended, some discovered they couldn’t change their names back because the law only allows three name changes. Now, the government may update the rule to help them.

Story Text

Taiwán podría cambiar sus leyes de nombres después de un suceso divertido. Un restaurante de sushi tenía una oferta especial: las personas con la palabra china para "salmón" en sus nombres podían comer gratis. Por eso, más de 300 personas cambiaron sus nombres. Pero algunas personas tuvieron un problema después de que la oferta acabó. La ley solo permite tres cambios de nombre, por lo que no pudieron recuperar sus antiguos nombres. Ahora, los políticos están buscando cambiar esta regla para ayudarlos. ¡Qué graciosa situación!
