Pret Conversations

A few days ago at Pret.

I placed the sandwich at the counter. 'For take away please.'

'You sure?'

'Yeah?'

'You need a bag?'

'No thanks. I'm good.'

'Ni hao ma?'

'Haha!'

'You speak Chinese?'

'Yeah, I speak Mandarin. But it isn't my 1st lang.'

'Xie xie. See you tmr.'

A very lovely conversion. She totally acted out of character.

Yesterday

Went to Pret again. Saw the girl who served me last time and decided to queue at her counter. This time she spoke a stream of Mandarin again.

'Did you try to learn the language?'

She said she just picked up language very fast. She was still trying to learn some more Mandarin.

Interesting.

Never feel much warmth towards Mandarin though.

Today

Pure entertainment... Wrote an extra 150 words and that's it.

Shhhhhhhh-

Watched Arsenal vs Swansea. Arteta and Metersacker looked good.

Now watching Federer vs Djokovic. Roger, what's happening to you?
