Funny, that

I hadn't the faintest thought, when he said he was coming for Chinese New Year, that it'd be the closest thing to it for me. The closest thing to Chinese in the literal sense, anyway.

I can't recall the last time there was that much chatter in Cantonese; Mandarin and Hokkien thrown in for homestyle effect. English; English was a mere filler for those words we were found lacking.

And for two whole days, that.
