To Gipilot:
If you learn a bit of Cantonese and have the ability to do a bit of slapstick (watch the Chinese movie channels for hints) you will be an absolute hit with the (local) girls and will become famous as one of only a select few gweilos who make the effort to relate to the crew on their level - and you will definitely get a few dates out of it. Many of them are shy so its up to you. And don't let the ISM see.
