White Guy
An interesting experience.
Yesterday when I was on my way home, I was approached by a white guy outside Valhalla, a bar that has featured in PhD Comics. He said to me, in Cantonese, "Google's good," referring to the Google T-shirt I was wearing. After we chatted a bit in Cantonese, I praised him for his good Cantonese. He said his isn't that good, and said in Mandarin that his speaks much better Mandarin. We went on to talk in Mandarin, and, man, he speaks better Mandarin than me! He's really talented in languages.
