GAH .
Don't know what to blog about & i've found something interesting from other blog .
==========================================================
Sometimes you can't deny the importance of languages.
Without them, you won't be able to communicate with each other, or even get the things you want.
However, different races have different languages.
And for a word, it can means many different meanings.
So what will happens if one race misunderstood the meaning of another race's language?
What will happen?
Let me give you a example of mine to illustrate my point.
-----
Some years back, I was with a group of friends dining at
a Chinese restaurant
We were having a farewell dinner for one of our friends, who will be leaving the country for several years.
Being Chinese, we will occasionally toast to each other, to symbolize our friendship among each other.
And in Chinese custom, toasting means to raise up your cup of drink and shout at the top of your voice,
This carries on for many times, with many "Gan Bei" until one of the waitress told us to tone down our volume.
Upon asking her why, she told us that one of the Caucasians who were sitting a few table away from us, told her...
"Why are they yelling Can't Pay so many times?"
"
If they can't pay, I will pay for them."
----
This is what happens if one race misunderstood the meaning of another race's language.
But come to think of it, you can't blame the Caucasian either
"Gan Bei" certainly do sounds like Can't Pay.
