Mein Chinesischlehrer Steve hatte am We geburtstag.
Von mir hat er ein Glas selbstgeschlachtete (und heimlich importierte) Weißwurst und ein frisch gebackens Brot aus der Bäckerei hier bekommen.
Als er das Glas gesehen hat meint er "Und wie esse ich das?" dazu ich "Auf dem Brot" worauf er mich anschaut und meinte "Kann man das auch auf Nudeln essen?"
*kopfschüttel* Chinesen eben *G*
