I went to the coffeeshop my mum works at this evening to have my dinner.
An auntie walks by, sees me and asks my mum in hokkien:
"Li eh kia, ah?" (your son?)
"Ya lo"
"Wah, ah ni orh, ah?" (wah, so black, ah?)
"Heh"
At this point which she turns to me and ask, in mandarin:
"Ni kang kang cong fei zhou hui lai, ah?" (you just came back from Africa is it?)
I could only afford a smile and she walks away.
People at the coffeeshop have the special ability of leaving me dumbfounded.
