We were outside the cathedral of St Albans last Saturday. I walked further away from the cathedral until I was near these bunch of guys in hip-hop clothes. While taking photographs, I heard them saying,
"Che che!"
But I ignored them. Then that annoying deep voice called out again.
"Je je!"
This time, I turned around them, feeling a bit annoyed, and said, "Aligato!"
The guy replied, "Is that Chinese?"
I then had this vision of my chibi self punching that guy into the sky like how Pokémon would finish Team Rocket off.
"No," I replied bitterly. "That's Japanese."
Hence, if another person calls out "ni hao!" I shall wish them "Aligato!" just for fun.
Or better yet. Terima kasih.
PS: They were saying "thank you" in Mandarin. > <"
