The story of dual language

The good thing about being able to speak both English and Chinese….

Promoter A : 小姐,买这个, 这个好。。。blah, blah, blah
Yours truly : (Give her the super blur look and shake me head)
Promoter A : (Stop promoting and talking to herself) 听不懂?是外国人

Phew, I can now go back to my grocery list.

Promoter B : Mdm, let me show you this mop …..
Yours truly : 听不懂
Promoter B : Have a nice day!

Oh yes, I will. Thank You *Grin*

Just in case you think I am trying to act like an arrogant expat taitai. Nah, I just like to buy what I need and if I need help, I will ask. It takes a lot of high level patience to tell these promoters that I really don't need what they are hard selling.
