Taiwan does not "always conform to American culture and american English". I have no idea where you would get that idea from.

ed21x is correct in their post.

I can think of some English words that we use in Taiwan that would make you scratch your head and think "What does that mean".

And the term Row House is used in NY.

I can post more links if you want, or even blogs from people describing their "Row House" in NYC.
