Another Misunderstanding.

Misunderstandings are a common occurrence in China. I had a brief one tonight that I thought was worth mentioning in my blog. It happened when I asked the students in my company class about the opening ceremony of the Olympics which will take place Friday evening, local time, here in China.

I thought one of the students said the ceremony would be about Lhasa.

Lhasa? I asked. You mean Tibet?

No!
They said. The ceremonies will be full of lasers!

Oh!
I said, with great relief.
