There was a speech competition at our university last week. It was in English and therefore they asked if Jeremy and I would want to be the judges? I then had an important decision to make, should I be Paula or Randy? I don’t have an English accent so Simon was out.
I decided to go with the encouraging Paula. It was almost a 3 hour deal and by the 20th speech I was zoned out. There was one girl who kept referring to the paintings of Van Gogh, but every time she said Paintings is sounded just like “panties”!! You can imagine the judges trying to hold back their laughter on this one! Then this guy came up. I am still not sure what he was saying or if the whole thing was in English, but he was nervous and made me laugh.
I now know where that comes from. The past two nights on our way home I have seen cars stopped with doors open at a red light, with people switching seats. They weren't racing or even in a slight hurry. I think they just thought to themselves.."I don't want to drive....so I am going to get in the back seat." haha anyways...I started laughing remembering as a kid friends talking about a chinese Firedrill. Its just ironical that i am in china and actually saw one.
