spain anecdote - chino chinese
one night in barcelona…
Ahleong got hungry (like always) and was craving for PANS (as usual), his face got the embossed P-A-N-S on it, and so dopey went with him to the PANS nearby to get him fed… while we were gone, LL and GL were chatting outside the hostel’s main entrance.
LL & GL: bitch bitch bitching…
Chinese nationale jogs up to them, relieved look on face: hai, zher you3 wang3 ba1 mah?
LL & GL (puzzled): huh?
GL: wan3 ba1 mah? you mean pub?
Chinese nationale: no, no…. wang3 ba1…
LL & GL: (still puzzled, what the heck wan ba?)
Chinese nationale: use the INTERNET…
LL & GL: ORHHHH!
LL: wo men bu zhi dao, yin wei wo men ye shi lu xing… no, lu ke!
~~~~~~ (ahleong and dopey return) ~~~~~~
LL & GL hurriedly and breathlessly (they were probably having stitches laughing at their pitiful mandarin) told us the entire account… when they said, wang3 ba1…
dopey: internet cafe huh?
LL, GL, ahleong: how you know?!?!?!
dopey: *smirks* my chinese not that bad wan ok!
