Speaking Chinese A Cargo Ship arrived in Port from far away places. With crane and bridle we unloaded the connexes. One seemed light so I opened the door to see what was within. Inside was a Chinese beauty wearing a red dress and a big beautiful grin. She placed her sunglasses on to shade the bright Hawaiian sun and then she poured two glasses of wine and offered me one. "Do you have a girlfriend?" she inquired innocently. I understood not her words, she was speaking Chinese. JamesLee 28October 2007 |

Thank you Margherita, Joe, Earth Angel and Kalle for the nice responses... Kalle that seems a little negative...perhaps she could have said "If all Americans are as nice as you, I'm glad I came."...James |

Well, James, I would say that she definitely said exactly what you wanted her to say - but you can keep it a secret. |
