@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.

actually interested in this myself, never really considered it

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
