I had my first argument with a store today. And mostly in chinese too. It
seems I communicate better in Cantonese when I'm:
- drunk/drinking
- upset and find things ridiculous.
- knocking my head unconscious trying to make sense of it
- giving a complete lesson on English swear words before charging a full
course fee.
I went to one of those photo-printing shops. When I went to pick up my
photos, they hadn't printed them. One of my digital images was tiled -and
they have a company policy not to print images that are tiled. Why? That's
as much sense as I can gather without:
Anyway, I learned the following words in chinese:
- show (me)
- written (or printed)
- (company) policy
and - gimme-my-damn-money
It was also a long day for me. Another succesful evening of promoting
stereotypes of westerners in dear old local town of Jyun-sek-sahn (Dia-mond-Hill)
