Rae speaks only English with a strong American accent, and Sky will probably not learn Chinese nor Manglish. They love their adopted country and already possess significantly Western palates (sandwiches for lunch, not economy rice; pasta for dinner, not hokkien mee).

I’ve blogged a few times about how differently we speak, although the written language is more or less the same. I don’t speak at all like the way I write, because I think I’m more articulate when I can take my time to construct and demolish and reconstruct my sentences, so I tend to be a little bit more messy when I talk.

Went to KFC and said I wanted 2 drumstick and the lady just stared at me. When I pointed to what I wanted, she said "oh chicken leg". I would add that even if you rent, you should get rental insurance for the same reasons Jenn mentioned above. Hey Jenn,
