Yesterday:
Scene- I am
in the Tax Department, standing at the Enquiry counter.
Me: Hello
Madam, I need to file the tax return for my company, should I go to counter 1
or 2.
Lady: Taxi?
Me (switching
to Chinglish): No no! My company. Tax. I file.
Lady:
Aiyya! Taxi ah?
Me: Huh?
Lady: You
go counter 2.
Lesson: If
tax is taxi, taxi is also taxi, Hong Kong is a tax-free country?
Today:
Scene- I am
in a restaurant and food is just served.
Me: Hello,
can I have some more cheese please
Waitress:
Huh?
Me
(switching to Chinglish)- I eat more cheese. Is ok?
Waitress:
Sorry Missy ah, we no have.
Me: I want Cheesy
Waitress (adding
cheese): More?
Me
(smiling): Thanks
Lesson:
Hong Kong is all about cheesy masses.
