scottish lassies 2004-08-20 | 11:45 a.m. My best friend has returned from the Scotland bringing with her her best friend, a proper born-and-bred- Scottish lassie. The problem is I understand about 60% of what she is saying. Don't mistake me, she is lovely. But most accents leave me confused. A typical conversation: SL: "Och, we're gooin oop to thur Jade Market noow" Very confusing indeed. In other news, the scorching heat and 100% humidity has rendered most of Hong Kong housebound. Not me, though. I am a fearless warrior in the face of an oppresive weather system - I am making a 2 hour trek to tutor The Spawn of Satan (and also collecting my payment) - an easy $1000. |
