Catching people talking about me in foreign languages
It's quite uncommon for an American to speak a second language, let alone the local language of countries in Asia. And to be fair, languages in Asian countries are often quite difficult for a native English speaker to learn, as they often contain tones, different grammatical structures, etc. I happen to speak both Vietnamese and Mandarin Chinese, and having lived in both countries, I've gotten fairly used to people talking about me. For me the most part, it's never bad. People often point out what I'm doing, or compliment my "incredible good looks" (wink wink). I typically just smile and don't say anything, but sometimes fate has it that they learn I speak the language anyway after they've said a lot of stuff. This happened to be one of those days, hahah. Hope you enjoy.
