Comrade, get up we are in Hong Kong.

Dear Xiao-ting, Finally I've arrived.

Hong Kong is very far away from home.

Everything is so different from Wusih

Lots of cars, lots of people,

and lots of pick-pockets too.

The Cantonese speak loudly and rude.

Xiao-ting. I Already miss you.

What do you want?

Is Ms. Li There?

A Mainlanderl You want a hooker?

Girls! Customer at the door...

I am looking for my aunt.

Can somebody speak Mandarin?

There are lots of foreigners

here. Speaking languages unknown.

Even Chinese Cantonese.

I still don't have a clue.

It is so foreign. With

the exception of aunt.

She speaks Mandarin.

Aunt is very nice. She gave

me a room, all to myself.

It's got great view.

And even my own toilet.

So I don't have to go out to pee at

night. It's so much better than home.

Everything is fine here,

don't worry about me.

Hong Kong people are weird. It

seems they don't need to work.

They wake up late in the morning.

Dress up and go out for fun everynight.

Aunt told me that...

Don't call me aunt. Call me Rosie.

Rosie.

Right. Come in.

Wear this for the job interview.

The way you dress. The cops will

send you back across the border.

Thank you.

Be careful. Take this to

dry-clean on your 1st pay-day.

One day, he'll come back for it.

You mean uncle?

William.

You two are a bit a like.

Rosie, the delivery is

here, where is your purse?

William H.

For God's sake.

This is only a butcher shop.

Why are you all dressed up.

I'll take him to buy

some cheap clothings.

Alright, come to work at 6 in the

morning. That's our busiest hours.

By the way. Teach this

hick some Cantonese.

Got you! Thanks a lot.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Go!

Your Aunt really loves you,

giving you Boozer's suit and all.

Watch where you going.

God damn cab driver. You deserve

to be a cab driver for life.

And for your next lives too!

Forget it. What Boozer? It's William.

What William? Your Aunt was

crazy about William Holden.

So one night, she picked up a Boozer on the street

and told everybody that he was William Holden.

You understand me. She's nuts.

Dear Xiao-ting. I've found a job.

In the transportation business It's

very laid back and it pays good.

I make around $ 2,000 a month,

Plus bonus. Are you proud of me?

I'm making more money

than the mayor of Tientsin.

I work on the streets a lot. Especially

Tsimshatsul, I know the area by heart,

Tsimshatsui is where

all the happenings are.

I'm a little soldier. I came from

the peasants. I kick Japanese ass.

You're nuts.

Learning Cantonese

is vital in Hong Kong.

But even after I've Learnt it. I still don't

get much of what people said on the street.

Xiao Ting. Tomorrow is my pay

day. I'll buy you a present.

And I will go to a place where

Wusih people have never been.

Can I help somebody here?

Can I take your order sir?

Ham... Hamburger.

Anything else?

Ke kou... ke... ke kou ke... Co... Co...

Coke.

Yes! Coke!

For here or to go?

Eat here or take home?

Eat here!

and sixty cents please.

Five dollars and sixty cents.

Excuse me...

Manager, someone wants to

talk to you. Step aside please.

This is my name and phone number.

I can't find the manager.

Please.

Thank you.

You from the Mainland?

Yes, how do you know?

By your Cantonese! It's awful!

You'll have trouble not

knowing English in Hong Kong.

I know, but what can I do.

There are many schools in Hong

Kong... Do you understand me?

aa aaaa

Schools that tutor english

specifically to Mainlanders.

Actually english is easy.

You from the Mainland too?

Of course not! I speak fluent Cantonese!

But you speak good Mandarin too.

People who speak Mandarin may not be Mainlanders, but...

those who don't speak Cantonese are certainly Mainlanders.

Want to learn english?

Can I have this?

You want this?

Yes, It's nice pa per.

I can write letters home on it. There

aren't any McDonald's in Wusih yet.

I'll get you some new ones.

Thank you.

Now do you want to learn english?

Can I work here if I knew english?

You can work any where

if you know english.

But I don't want to work anywhere else.

Whatever. Now do you want

to learn english or not!

$ 100 for registration.

But I only have fifty dollars.

Do you have an ATM card?

(NR. Tarjeta Bancaria)

What's that?

It's a card for cash withdrawal.

You put it into the computer.

The computer spits out the money.

Spar?

Better apply one, it's real handy.

the 1st pager owner I've ever talked to.
