So it was me, a Korean, a Japanese, an Indian and a Hong Kong native; we were in a Korean fusion restaurant.
Things got really awkward when the waitress came and the only person who can speak Cantonese was in the washroom.
Just for fun we were like, "sorry we don't speak Cantonese..Korean? Can you use Korean?"
"Sorry no Korean"
So I had to use my Mandarin..
We were still conferring in English though: "Ask them if they have soju" "What the fuck is soju in Chinese? ..uh..有韓國白酒嗎？" lit. is there any Korean liquor?
When our Hong Kong guy came back, the properly confused waitress complimented him on his Cantonese.
"Uh..thanks, I'm from here"
