My face or yours
Corbett | April 27, 2006 5:08 PM
Beijing people are very straightforward. I like that. Since it's so damn dry here, I needed to buy some cream to put on my face to keep from peeling.
"Do you have any face cream?" She shows me a blue jar full of white stuff.
"This isn't really for your face is it?"
"Sure it is. Same thing."
"So would you smear this on your face?"
"No way."
"Ok, thanks."

3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>
