Additional Notes and Links
- Standard Chinese is used widely in China, Taiwan and one of the official languages of Singapore. It's ironic that they call this the colloquial replacement for Classical Chinese, although Cantonese is closer to Classical Chinese and said to have a lot of 'slang'.
- Just like how Caucasians in Singapore are referred to as 'angmos', they're referred to as gwei lo in Cantonese. While used as a term of derision in the past, now some foreigners wear it with pride.. as with many of these kinds of insults (like 'nerd'?).
- Corinna Chamberlain is probably one of the more famous Caucasians who grew up in Hong Kong who additionally speaks fluent Chinese along with the rest of ther family (Australian/New Zealand heritage), although has said that she has not mastered reading and writing though. Another is Sharon Balcombe (who apparently also speaks Mandarin, American heritage). Another famous Caucasian Cantonese speaker is better known as Ho Kwok Wing (???), also known as Gregory Charles Rivers, who is/was Australian (hello, another one of you).
- Written Cantonese vs Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Simplified and Traditional Chinese share the same grammar as Mandarin in order to be mutually intelligible, but Written Cantonese and Traditional Chinese probably share more Traditional Chinese characters.
- No eating on the MRT in Singapore, but no-eating rule also applies on trains in Hong Kong and Taipei.
- Eating snake in Hong Kong, with a bowl of lor mai fan.
