Oh yeah, I have been getting it all the time ever since arriving in Tokyo.
Speaking of which, I still owe you a meetup from last time =)
Hi Desmond,
I thought you were in Nagoya. No?
Pet Peeves: When people complain about others who are just trying to be nice.
Hi G,
Yes,I guess you are right. I just thought it feels like I’m being patronized but I agree with you that I shouldn’t complain about people who are trying to be nice. My bad.
I still struggle internally when someone tells me my English or Mandarin is very good.
