Lol. So I guess you are too embarrassed to answer. Hahahha hahaha.
But when I see some Chinese here - first I check my pocket. Satisfied that my wallet has not been picked by a Chinese - I throw some coins their way. I don't expect them to dance, but they do it anyways. I tell them not to - in this country, we have given the Chinese beggars refuge since eons. They smile. It is a nice feeling to help the destitute.
Come on Joe. Cut the simple chaps some slack. Imagine living in a country where your only chance of a better life is to get on a yak and cross the Himalayas and beg for refuge to a country which itself is poor and infested with slums and illiterate people and what not. That's a step up for these people. Or maybe several steps up. Next time you see a Chinese in India - don't forget to give him a few coins. It's the least we can do.
Unfortunately the two Chinese gentlemen I know are over-achievers; can't get into this one. One of them is a very close friend, who currently lives in Singapore. He had us in splits of laughter describing his early internship in Japan many years ago, when he walked out the first day and had an uncomfortable feeling that something indefinable was different. Suddenly, it hit him: for the first time in his life, everybody else was yellow! The other is years younger, but is already a great name (also in the legal field). He is truly an asset to the country. And we had the Chen brothers in school who were formidable in the rugger field.
It is these foreigners from the mainland who are awkward customers.
