I went to a Chinese restaurant with my friends Lingyin and Hui... they often eat there. The owner is Chinese... I order Vegetable Chow Mian (noodles). There are two styles of this dish - American and Chinese. The owner gives me the American kind... but because I am a foreigner! Even with Lingyin there the owner gives me the cheaper American version of the dish. Then the owner talks with Lingyin in Chinese and mentions that I am a foreigner (lao wai) so he gave me the foreigner dish! And I am listening and understanding some of this conversation... feeling kinda stupid. The owner tells me that next time I should order the Chinese Noodles.
I think this is a little funny... maybe you do too?
