You know how those annoying people call you on the phone to conduct some phone surveys? Well I got one the other day, in chinese!!! I thought it was something short, and couldn't be that bad, since I managed to understand her first sentence without any problem, but everything there after just went down hill. I could barely keep up with her in the conversation, that whenever she asked me a question, and read out the options to choose from, I'd just repeat the last one she said because I could not remember the rest. When it came to open ended questions I just said I don't know in chinese. But I wasn't totally hopeless. I gathered enough to figure out that it had something to do with mobile phones and service providers. At the end she asked me for my name. I thought I heard her ask me for my family name so I said loon. But I have no idea what she heard, so I thought I misunderstood her question and she wasn't asking me for my name. After awhile I realised she was indeed asking me for my name. But by then the conversation had become so confusing for me, I just said yes to everything so that I could hang up. Eventually my name because wang liang something.
