11:06:00 <newioso> xie xie ni
11:30:00 <newioso> oops
11:30:00 <newioso> given it's hong kong, i guess i'd be frowned upon for not speaking cantonese?
19:46:00 <newioso> i can't speak it, i can only read and hear it
19:47:00 <newioso> yeah, without the tones
19:50:00 <newioso> hm i didn't know cantonese was that different
19:52:00 <newioso> i'll keep learning, i have a long way to go
19:52:00 <newioso> i'm only considered a 'rookie' according to duolingo
19:55:00 <newioso> hm ok
19:55:00 <newioso> here i was thinking mandarin was just as easy
19:56:00 <newioso> er, that cantonese was just as easy
19:56:00 <newioso> how very wrong i am, i have just learnt
19:56:00 <newioso> i'll eventually learn it tho
20:05:00 <newioso> that last line shows up as gibberish to me
20:05:00 <newioso> i can only read ascii at the moment
20:07:00 <newioso> i'm just waiting on a certain unicode security flaw to be patched before i use it, but i guess there's no point in being that paranoid
20:09:00 <newioso> nah, i've disabled unicode
20:09:00 <newioso> ascii only
