oh yes happy new year!!!!
well do tell – what do those words Gweilo and Hokgwei mean?
or shall I google them too!!! – hahah
benson’s right on that one!!!
“Cheap red bags”;
Careful THL. That’s code.
gemini…lest all Chinese be painted with the same brush, those loud ones are Cantonese. It reminds me of living back in Hong Kong, especially those rare moments when the words “gweilo” or “hokgwei” pass their lips!!!!
And to all out Chinese brethren out ther…Gung Hei Fat Choy and Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!!
hoards
I. Love. THL.
One of the worst are the hords of people who get on the train at Grand Street with with whole raw fish. The bags aren’t tied off in any way. The fish is just laying there open dripping it’s fish guts on the floor though the holes in those cheap red bags.
It’s really nice in August when the A/C isn’t working too well.
oh the tupperware! – yes yes, horrible
and why do little chinese ladies like to talk sooo loudly?
it’s kinda bizarre!
‘Dave I had a stranger try that and when it was apparent that it wasn’t due to crowding I exclaimed loudly’
THL – as opposed to someone you know 😉
I too had that happen. I turned around and said very loudly….Big boy, I think not. When you grow a set of balls and a man’s size penis then give me a call!!
