Classic Conversations...

A typical Chinese conversation...
Location: Xiao Mai Bu (small store by our house)
I'm looking at hand towels...

Grandpa Liu: maojin. maojin. (towel. towel.)
Me: Oh, yes. towel. towel.
Grandpa Liu: Your Chinese is so good!
Me: No, it's not good!
Grandpa Liu: How do you say it in English?
Me: towel
Grandpa Liu: towel. towel.
Me: Your English is so good!
Grandpa Liu: (laughter)

Conversations like these just make my day! Especially with Grandpa Liu.
