On spring break when ever my friends and I hung, Eve and I tried to teach them Chinese words so that we could all talk in code so that no one could understand us. It was so much fun because whenever we said anything, people would look at us funny and confused. One of my other friends was so surprised that all us girls were trying to tell each other things so that he could not understand. It was hilarious because every time we said something whether it was good or bad it made people wonder what we were saying and if we were saying stuff about them. I think it was so cool jut being able to communicate in Chinese and when people would ask if I could speak Chinese it was such a good feeling saying that I knew a little.
On the train ride back from North Carolina Chad and I met a Chinese man and spoke to him a little. it was obvious that the guy was surprised that we could speak Chinese and told us that we spoke it well for beginners. Then the next day when I went to go get my nails done before I went back to Jamaica, the guy who was doing my nails was Chinese and I talked to him and asked him questions in Chinese. I had a few grammar mistakes but he was nice and corrected me when i made a mistake.

Very Cool!
I totally understand the personal connections created by a language known between a couple of people among a big crowd.
