I saw this guy wearing a Phoenix Suns jersey & shorts on the subway today. He didn't speak any English, so in my elementary Chinese, I tried to tell him why I wanted a photo with him. I was able to say, "I'm American. That's my..." Ugh! I don't know the word for "city"! Okay, try again. I pointed at his shirt & said in Chinese, "I live there." That didn't work either. (I'm sure my pronunciation is atrocious.) Finally I pulled out my camera & gestured that I wanted a photo with him. He was still confused but consented.
The rest of the passengers on the train thought the whole thing was hilarious, of course. Crazy foreigners.
Ah ha ha, awesome!!
