... international translator.

I was talking with a friend of mine from Afghanistan and a girl from China today. The three of us were discussing Chinese politics and then my friend from Afghanistan got a little confused with Pin Yin and, well, English in general.

Her: My second name is Wang.

Him: How is that spelled?

Her: W-A-N-G, it's pronounced Wong.

Him: W-E-N-G?

Me: No, A.

Him: Yeah, E, like elephant.

Me: No, A, like apple.

Him: Oh, wing, like a bird.

Her: Wong.

Him: Yeah, in America we say it like wing

Me: What do we say?

Her: You don't like A do you?

Him: A?

Me: You pronounce it wong, like W-O-N-G.

Him: I knew that...

Her first name is Qiu-ju, pronounced Chu-cho. So to him her name is Choo-Choo, like a train.

Anyhoo, enough about me, let's talk about you... what are you wearing?
