A funny entry from Violet Eclipse that draws attention to the fact that when speaking Chinese or doing your best to, context is super important.

The thing is, everything in China relies on context. It's kind of like when you meet your boyfriend's friends and they're all "Remember that time? Hahahaha!" while you're all "Hi, I'm Meg". They use these half sentences and references to other things, and even an awesome girlfriend just can't keep up."
