While bringing a box downstairs, I told the doorman that I was leaving for good on Tuesday.
“Where you going? Back home?”
“Yeah.”
“Where’s that? China?”
“Uh… no.”
What I mean to say was, “Yeah. I’m going back to China, where everyone speaks English perfectly and looks Asian-American.” And then, I would have followed it up with witty pontification about him maybe living in a mythical place called, “Honkytown,” where all the Asian folk who live there are really “from China.”
Or something like that.

Haha.
You’re just pissed that he didn’t say, “Where’s that? Taiwan?”
i don’t know if you’ve ever been to honkytown, but the chinese food is actually pretty good.
in my honkey town they don’t make any chicken chow mein … pisses me off .. but i have an awesome indian !
Great Asian comedy showin the UK ..think it’s called goodness gracious me .. a family of english (with indian heritage) all sit around with the whole stereotypical look and the put on indian accent over done … and they are talking about what to do for dinner .. so they say .. lets go for an English … so funny .. i mean we all say lets gor for an Indian or a Chinese but who ever says lets go for an English or lets go for an American ..
of course in the UK we actually say .. ooh I could murder a chinese/ indian / italian etc .. as an expression …
anyways … i’m going to try and find me a greasey chow mein tomorrow now.
are you fucking kidding me? sheeesh.
hahaha!
“… the chinese food is actually pretty good …”
to eric, it’s just “food.”
hahaha. man.
i got a little prickly the other day when a patient prefaced his apeech with, “well, i don’t know about you, but here in america, we … “
Giles: the English have edible food?
What is American food, anyway? I grew up here and I still haven’t figured it out. Or maybe it’s that I don’t want to believe that it’s burgers and potroast and uh… potatoes? I eat “ethnic” food for almost every meal.
I just got home, and am in a rickshaw on my way back to my place. It sure is nice here in China.
how about hick’ry-smoked BBQ? new york and chicago pizza? mac ‘n cheese?
and, speaking of rickshaws and honkytown: fortune cookies? :)
I think english typical english food now is probably Indian Curry. Although we do have our world famous Fish and Chips or Bangers and Mash.
American Food from what I can gather must contain MSG’s and if eaten constantly will cause certain medical problems.
On a rickshaw huh … well I am on my way home on a coconut .. got to love the caribbean
I particularly enjoy it (although it truly rarely happens) when people jump right in and ask what country I’m from. I’m not sure if they end up being thrown of by my southern accent or my wiseass answer. Flucking boneheads.
