About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an early bird customer was counting his coins when he noticed something strange on the floor of CTBC Bank's lobby. A small piece of paper read, 'Take one coin and leave a wish.' Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly found himself wishing for something very specific. He took a shiny coin from his pocket and placed it next to the note, whispering his heartfelt desire. As he left, another customer—a delivery driver—picked up the coin and wished for an easy route home. Suddenly, every traffic light turned green, and his truck hummed like new. That day, both men walked away smiling, each thinking their wish had come true.
2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to CTBC Bank with a truckload of boxes. As he opened the back door, he heard a familiar voice from inside: 'Hey, wait a minute—you forgot your smile!' The delivery driver turned around, only to see an old lady waving cheerfully from behind the counter. ‘Oh,’ she said, smiling warmly, ‘I thought you were someone else.’ The driver shook his head and laughed, shaking hands with her before heading out. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the friendliest person in town, everyone pointed towards that little CTBC branch.
3. One day, a little girl walked into her grandfather’s bank and pointed excitedly at the ceiling. ‘Grandpa,’ she said, ‘why does that painting look like it’s winking at me?’ Her grandfather smiled knowingly. 'Ah, my dear,' he whispered, 'that's not a wink—it's just an old masterpiece called "The Thinker".' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a twinkle in her eye. 'But Grandpa,' she asked curiously, 'does everyone else see him thinking or do they think I'm crazy?'
4. One weekend, while walking past CTBC Bank, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘Do you think they keep kangaroos in there?’ I laughed and said, ‘Kangaroos? More like keeping accountants, I’d say.’ Then another neighbor chimed in, ‘Actually, I heard they store all their money in giant safes shaped like koalas!’ We all burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
