The cafe owner greeted me: Ko Ni Chi Wa. (Japanese equivlant of Hello). &#8220;Sorry, I am not a Japanese and do not speak Japanese&#8221; &#8220;Korean?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;No, I am a Chinese&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Throught out the North America and now in SE asia, I have been mistaken as Korean or Japanese. Not a single time that I was greeted with familar &#8220;Ni Hao&#8221; This makes me wonder when the Chinese will start to roam the world, not as illegal immigrants shipped in by containers but as tourists and explorers.<\/p>\n<p>Across the street, the resturant has a TV set which is showing the Star TV movie in English. Yeap, after this artical, I am going to walk across and order my favorate Thai dish, &#8211; fried squid on rice.
