    Nice! How/where do you get the best practice there?

      Currently I’m at the trying to communicate my intentions stage, so a lot of it is simply talking to shopkeepers and that kind of thing. However I do get to have a lot of fun banter at restaurants as people love too strike up a conversation in English, to which I respond in Chinese, which always goes down well. I’ve been bought a lot of beers already and given a lot of cigarettes (Chinese cigarettes are great).

      I’ve just had a conversation with a mother and daughter on the bus which was really cute. The little girl’s English was really good.
