I’m tired, so I will make this quick and easy.
I talk to a lot of people about my year and three day experience in China. And as you can expect, people usually have a ton of questions to ask. Sometimes, these questions fall under the category of “neverbeen” questions. And if you want to have a better understanding of what I mean by that, click on the link. Ryan will tell you everything you need to know.
I’ve been asked a lot of questions since I have been back, but I think the one that tops the list is the one you’ll read below. I mean, it is like the candles on the cake. Lit candles at that.
“What language do they speak in China?”
I looked at her with a blank stare for a second, thinking that she must be joshing me, but she was serious. Then a light bulb went off.
“Oh. Chinese I guess, huh?”
“Yeah,” I said. “Chinese.”
Oh bless her heart.
Being a fellow South Carolinian, I can almost see where she was coming from when she had that mental lapse.
I mean its an easy mistake to make. What language do they speak in Canada? Or Mexico for that matter?
Now don’t get me wrong, she’s still stupid…but let’s cut her a little slack.

@ TOPolk – Don’t cut her too much slack. If I had been talking about some no name country that is never mentioned in any of our media, I could half justify her not knowing without asking what language they spoke there.
