only hong kong seems to like britbong english
so maybe theyd discriminate based on that
@transience they want native speakers
all i saw around taipei was "mei yu" (i dont have pinyin input on thinkpad) instead of "ying wen"
not sure about british english. i figure as long as you're native you'd be fine
nah, that's just a certain way of saying english that sounds fancier
i guess so
mei yu = beautiful language

i can increasingly into posh southern english nowadays too, now that ive lived in the south for a year
@red how do they perceive bbc english over there?
aka queen's english or stereotypical britbong accent
you're harry potter
some girl in raohe night market figured out i was brit
either by my bank card or my accent
i was speaking to her in 80% mandarin
depends on the person, some people can't tell
with odd english word
other people can
sounds fancy.
i'll ask around.
Are there any English news/politics blogs that aren't afraid to tell it how it is in China?
I hear people in hk fake a British accent to seem cool
The only blog I know like that is the HRIC (Human Rights In China?) daily brief. http://hric-newsbrief.blogspot.com/?m=1
@plasticsword I've heard some HK guy in uni speak a pretty convincing britbong accent
I didnt even know he was HK until I heard him speak canto
I was legit convinced he was from the UK
real international school people in hk actually have an american accent
kinda weird but know a lot of people that went to international school in HK and local shool
