Nov. 23rd, 2012 06:08 am...I'm not sure, but I think someone just offered me a job? The conversation ended with her giving me a business card for RamenPlay with her cellphone number written on it, at least. I think I'm going to call her tomorrow, but I have NO IDEA what to say. because I know nothing about jobs or work or anything. eep.
--relatedly, I seem to have a strange talent for bonding only with people who are not actually from China. I know I need to make friends with native speakers, etc etc, but apparently when people talk to me in Chinese I get super nervous super easily unless I already know them, which is not helpful. I need to find a not-in-English knitting circle or church or something. But this proves it's not just that I only make friends with people in my building! Somehow I just always end up talking to people from Mongolia or Singapore or Japan or Korea, whether it's in English or Chinese.
This is probably not related to my talent for finding good restaurants.
