My Father is Cantonese and my mother is Mandarin (sorta) but they both spoke Cantonese to me as I was growing up.

I know more Cantonese than Mandarin but I think that my tongue likes Mandarin better. Everytime I speak Cantonese I sound terrible but, if you ask me to say something in Mandarin I think it sounds pretty decent. :)

<< they'll kill you while you sleep.

is this a huge problem? i swear i have never heard of this epidemic or stereotype....
>>



its kinda like organ harvesting stories in the phillieans but much more common.

If you go to China you can seriously pick up women just by flashing your american passport.

I'm an ABC so I can't say much and don't have conversations with women who speak Cantonese well.

I'll do a little bit of translating here for all you gwai-lo.

when jooksing said "Let's get us some gwei muis!" it has the exact same comical significance as when the sherrif said "Where the white women at!" in Blazing Saddles.

because of the sentence structure
I'm putting my money on ABCs

Fobs have a messed up sentence structure. The only 1337 thing they can say is "you are suck!"

I think a 5 year old cantonese kid can speak better then me.
I understand it though, except the Music.

My Parents speak Cantonese and Mandarin and some other language i have no idea how to say in English.
