Hola?

So, obviously, there are a lot of people here who do not speak English and I only know a few Mandarin words. What's funny is I've caught myself trying to speak Spanish to them if they don't understand my English. One of my roommate's said he's been doing the same thing. I guess my few international experiences have mostly been to Spanish speaking countries so I'm doing the only thing I know when someone doesn't know English.

Perhaps in due time I'll learn some Mandarin and stop slipping out a few Spanish words. Or maybe I'm starting a trend and before you know it my request for "agua" will be understood.
