TODAY today today, I HAD ACUPUNCTURE!!!

because i sprained my ankle so i went to the doctor and then she spoke to me in china chinese (as in she had a china accent)
so i just kept nodding my head, and then i didn't understand what was going on until she lead me into this room
and then i saw NEEDLES and then i realised she wanted to give me acupuncture or something, and then i started screaming cos i didn't want godamn needles poked into me!Then she told me to shut up and lie down in chinese and i was damn scared so i lay there stiff as a log and she started to poke these needles into me and i kept going PLEASE DON'T KILL ME I AM TOO YOUNG TO DIE in chinese
and she got annoyed and she asked why my chinese was so weird
and i told her, its because she's from china that's why

and i think she got offended, because maybe its a faux pa to tell a china person they're from china or whatever, so she poked the needles harder and then she started to run and electric current through my foot (I never knew they did this)
and i realised i learnt a very important lesson not to insult your doctor especially when she is holding a big threatening needle

and then my leg started throbbing i felt like i was conducting electricity, so i tried to tell that to her that in chinese, but what came out was YI SHEN, WO ZAI CONDUCT DIAN
and she told me to stop singing to her in chinese?
and i told her my chinese is very good okay, i take higher chinese
and she laughed her head off at that, as if she didn't believe me!!!

And then figuring that we got off on the wrong foot, i decided to strike up a conversation about china, so i asked her who she prefers: Deng Xiao Ping or Mao Tze Dong and i told her i have a read a bit of Mao's book!
and so we continued to have an in depth conversation of mao tze dong and then she told me i am very knowledgeable about china even though i when i speak chinese it sounds like greek

and then after that she was very nice to me, which goes to show that it pays to know your chinese politics, although i am still not a fan of acupuncture!
