So I have 40 minutes to this panel I really want to get to, and the peroshkii place I want to visit is closed, so I duck into a food court and there’s a stand selling zhu jiao fan (sp?). Which I’ve never had so why not?
I order and must’ve nailed the pronunciation because I get this “do you speak Chinese?”
“No, only a few words.”
So it’s only polite to say xia xia, zaijian after I get my breakfast.
I think the world’s telling me to learn Mandarin, again…
