I would be more flattered if I hadn't been hearing that same phrase every day, ever since the times when I could only say Nihao :) I have studied for about 3 years, but I was working fulltime all along and blogging for half of that time. I am still very far from complete fluency. But I still believe I might reach that point some day. Thanks a lot!

We asked our friend how to say "hitchhiking" and she answered 搭便车, immediately one of us repeated it as 大便吃... for a foreigner's ear it really sounds very similar. In fact, it is so easy to do laowainese puns that they just keep happening all the time. In this story I actually only used about half of the ones I had jotted down. One of my favourites is "mineral water" as "rabies dog water", figure that one out if you can. Anyway, you are right it is an incredible succession of coincidences to have all then these misunderstandings happen in one single conversation. But fiction would be so boring if it had to consider statistics... :) PS. regarding the 大便车, you might not remember, but it happened in real life and I think you were there.
