The office

Teaching english: "raisin": resin. RAY-sen. reysin. RAY-sen. Rey-sin. Ok, good enough.
Learning counting mandarin: 1, 2, 3, uh....10? oops 4, 5, 6, 7, eat. wait wait- 8, 9, 4. I mean 10 (if you understood chinese, thats we sound like)

So for the first few weeks, our chinese co-workers have been tutoring us, teaching us a few words, and we teach them a few in return. My roomate will teach them slang like, "cool" or "sweet" and I'll start giggling and my boss will turn to him and say, "Are you teaching them bad words??? Don't confuse the chinese!" One of the accountant says we talk like 1 yr olds.

Our other supervisors are israeli. so they speak hebrew to each other mandarin sometimes and english to us. Yes, its confusing. AND ontop on that, everyone has secret conversations about us. "blah blah blah Kristina blah. blahablahalahbal" and then I pop up like, "WhaT??" we decided it was unfair, they everyone could speak a diff language that we couldn't understand, so we've decided to make up our own secret language. ok ok, not make up. Pig latin. uckertay is the best at it.
