Hi.
I heard your wife in the background, speaking Chinese?

I was in Japan for 17 yrs. Ex wife is Japanese, 3 kids.  My second language reading writing and speaking is Japanese.
Lived in Hong Kong 8 yrs, got married to Hong Kong Chinese woman.  Had hell of a hard time learning any Guandonghua. Very little cooperation from Hong Kongers on getting any help on that.
Had to use my knowledge if Japanese Kanji to read menu and such in HK. Got me by.

Now find myself in Thailand, 4 yrs, remarried again, to Thai woman.  And believe me, Thai woman are crazy creatures....

You know the saying, once you go Asian, cannot go back Caucasian. .....LOL

I joke my next wife will be Korean....to finish the circuit....
