Just Thoughts

We are four all together, one didn’t show up, two Chinese, an Indian and myself. I only remember one name “Kai” because it’s cool and I think the other is “Eric” that’s his English name.

All the Chinese people I’ve met and they are quiet a lot here, have two names, Chinese and English, because as one said, it’s very hard to pronounce our names.

We sat with our supervisor, he asked us to write down our home address, he looks at us and said:

“So you’ve come a long way from your countries, was it is straight forward or it took you a while to get here”

The Indian said: “Well I’ve been in UK for 5 years and living in London so it was straight forward for me and didn’t have problems moving here”

I was going to “أتحلطم” that getting the freaking visa was a nightmare, but it was “Eric’s” turn to speak.

Eric: “I came on a bike and he -pointing to Kai- walked”!!

Me trying not to FREAKING laugh LOL, maskeeeeeen, he understood the question wrong and was speaking of getting here from their dorm. The supervisor didn’t even correct him We just sat there in complete silence, I didn’t want to open my mouth

…..

“OK, we’ll meet regularly …” continued the supervisor

Don’t know how I’m going to spend this year with the two of them Eric and Kai speaking Chinese all the time, I need to tell them to stop it. One more thing, they are all TALL, you see Asian people somehow short but masha’Allah all the ones here are TALL.
