China Expat Conversations
In the Face bar
Tall, stocky man, early forties.
He chats up a young, in her twenties, French girl.
“I work for KPMG”, very short pause, “Do you know them”.
“No, I haven’t heard of them”, slight giggle.
“They are the biggest accountancy company in the world”
In Rendez Vouz
Young Expat Chinese and a young Slavian girl
“Have you told your parents about us?”, she asks
“No, but I told my dad”
“So, not your mum.”
After which I dig into the best burger you can get in Shanghai.
