We took the Milan Metro from Central Station to Duomo for lunch. At Central Station, we were quite at a loss as how to buy Metro tickets.
I stared at the ticket machine, totally confused, mind blank. Then a finger creeped into my view and pointed to the right option on the ticket machine. Following that finger, I looked up and saw a handsome Italian guy. What happened next was even more shocking to me: He spoke in fluent Mandarin Chinese to me!
I opened my mouth wide, speechless. Call me a mountain turtle who has not seen the world, but it is the first time a Caucasian talking to me in Chinese. It was a pity that I was with a big group of colleagues and in the confusion of getting our tickets, in the whole mess, I didn't even have a chance to say "thank you" to that nice guy. I hope he will see this blog and I want to say a big "THANK YOU!" to you.
The world, somehow, has changed.
