Post subject: Learning Shanghainese with LifeMage.

Lesson One:

The next time you get in a taxi,
when the driver asks you you're destination,
you respond by saying "Fa Cai Nong"*,
then you cross your arms, turn your head
and just stare out the window.

*pronounced (something like): Va Tsay No

have fun! Very Happy

Oh, really? Someone got somewhat prejudice... maybe she's sensitive to orange juice. Sad
