10/20

5th graders were trying to give me quiz about fish kanji in class.
First they try to give me hints.

Students:
What's this?
Hint 1, big eyes
Hint 2, outside red

Sabrina:
uh...more hints please

Students:
Hint 3, kanji is 鯛

Sabrina:
...okay, I know the reading in Chinese, but I don't know how to read it in Japanese

Homeroom teacher:
wow! that's interesting. How do you read it?

Sabrina:
In Chinese we say "diao".

Homeroom teacher:
Cool!!! Ok everyone, let's try to say it in Korean too!
"diao"

What the fuck...

  1. They always try to ignore the fact that I am Taiwanese, and they have convinced themselves that I am Korean.
