The best-mulilingual adventure of the trip was one night visiting the Grandparents of Lady of Tdaxp. A little girl, “Wendy,” came up to us on a bicycle…

Wendy: Hello.
Me: Ni hao

… and as she peddled away…

Wendy: Good bye!
Me: Zaijian!

Wendy then peddled away quickly and shouted to her friends.

Lady of tdaxp's translated: “Holy shit! He speaks Chinese!”

Jay,

Re: machete and chainsaw he said he couldn't tell if I was a psychotic madman or not — just that I SEEMED psychopathic [1] :-p

Brendan,

Sorry — no arrest. Only a wand-waving by a not-unattractive Chicom security officer [2] …
