This morning I met a new caucasian neighbour and my cantonese-speaking German neighbour in the lift. I thought it would be fun to stun the new neighbour by giving the german neighbour some street cred, so I started chatting with the german in Cantonese. I didn't slow down my words in an exaggerated manner the way people do when they wish to be understood. I simply rattled on and I realise he picked up the key words in my sentences in order to reply in Cantonese.

If only I could have seen the look on the new neighbour's face. lol.
