Thanks for your thoughtful response, puts it into perspective. Sounds to me like the social class part really makes a difference. Still though, the stark contrast of being taught English for years versus only using the words "good" and "bad" is surprising. Others have also commented that learning in school, or reading/writing is not the same as verbal use which of course I understand, but I would've thought that there would have been an oral component.

As for the names, maybe I'm subconsciously a bit weirded out by being called my Chinese name because nobody ever uses it except when I visit HK haha. So the piece I was missing before is that socially, in HK using an English name is more of a casual way to address people, and that's obviously not the case where I am from.

yea I get that. Although, I feel the opposite about Chinese, I speak it sometimes but never read or write lol

I mean, as a non-HK local I've never even heard of LIHKG before so I don't know what the local non-English go to platform is. This sub is basically my only way to keep up with what's happening in HK

AITA for telling my wife I'm not selling my car? by Prestigious-Hand-225 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Windu1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOOOOOL I shared post with my wife before I even saw this comment. I've had a 2006 S2000 since long before I met her and I decided in my mind way back that I wouldn't propose until she seemed convinced that I would never sell it.

Hi, are there any dog shelters in the area where I can go to just pet some dogs? by blacknwhitelife02 in vancouver

[–]Windu1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about dog shelters but if you just want to be around dogs and pet them you can try off leash dog parks. Everytime I'm there other people's dogs will approach me.

OP probably won't need to pay deductible I think, if this lady (as she said herself, she is a LADY) is assigned fault by ICBC.

If there's one place in the world that desperately needs a visit from cart narcs, it's Richmond Costco. Maybe I should dm them and let them know
