prove it that you're a foreigner, speak English.

something reminded me of this.. something i was told not so long ago.

one thursday afternoon, hongmei called me. she asked me if i wanted to come with her and a friend to see some silk exhibition show in the city. i was tired, but of course, i will say yes, unless i'm 95% tired. i was not at that point. we went with her friend who spoke japanese, but no english. we got to the place, which was near the community pool to find it was closed for the day. well, they somehow got the word in that we were foreigners (not hongmei) for them to let us just look around. in the end, they convinced the evening workers there that i was a foreigner. they told me, "speak English Cathy." i'm like, "what the?! say what?!" hahaha.. well, it 'twas great. well, with my little chinese now, i can tell me people that i'm not chinese and that i'm vietnamese and.. blah blah..

oh yeah.. i love bedouin soundclash now.
