Today, a Chinese man came up to me at work and said, "you very beautiful".

I said "thank you" and giggled and we grinned at each other. When I asked him about his day he put his hands up and shook his head. "No english. No english. You very beautiful".

I gave him my understanding nod then a thank you nod and then a goodbye nod. He did the same. There is so much you can say by bobbing your head and smiling. It was very sweet.

I'd like to learn a nice and simple little line in a couple of other languages. Nothing that will get me beaten up or killed, though. That would be bad.
