This what it would be when a Malay meets a Chinese in Egypt.
I was on my way back to my place, he was sitting beside me in the stuffed microbus and looks quite confused.. The way he dressed i'm quite sure he wasn't here for any corporate meeting. :-). (seriously, he only wears a simple shirt and brought a very army-looking bag with few stitches on it)
when we arrived at the "station".
I asked him in English for the purpose he was here in Zagazig.
He replied with "sinni". which means chinese in arabic.
and few "la' englizi" means no english
Hahaha, here's the fun..
I tried to asked him in arabic which i barely know. :-p
he also tried so hard to say few arabic words.
we're talking in Arabic!!!
It ends up like an alien from different planet that both speaks different language then trying to talk in another alien language. So eager to talk eventhough they dont understand even a single word that came from their mouth.
The aliens conversation end with smile and Ma'asalamah without knowing anything about each other.
Haha, such a nice evening.
