Love Mr. 陶傑's satire piece. The Chinglish speech impresses foreigners as well, who can't understand how we can switch from Chinese to English to Chinese at a flick of the button (ans: because Eng has so many grammar rules that it won't be easy to just substitute words). Nobody knows the truth though: language deficiency in expressing oneself in only one language.
I view my US passport (hey, I was born in the US of A, blame my parents if you want to...) as a travel document. In order to have more flexibility, I'm applying for a HKSAR passport as well.
Once upon a time, I explored giving up the US citizenship for tax purposes. In the subsequent documentation, it actually asks "if you are giving up citizenship for tax purposes?"! Obviously you check "No" for that question. My conversation with immigration officers also educated me some: if you give it up, it's difficult to return to the US in the short term. 吓得我不敢再想! haha.
梗係唔好放棄美籍身份啦！ 好多人恨有架。
回覆刪除Yahoo 都有廣告喎：
【噢 ~ 他 / 她 贏得美國綠卡】呢。
大陸人最恨有 U S A 身份既，睇下新發采幾咁西化就知喇。
人地飲【娜星巴克】咖啡的。

曾經有個中學舊同學是大陸新移民來港的,記得他在十多年前和我說了一番話:你知道那些學運人仕"王丹"和"吾爾開希"到美國說中國人的壞話,他們全都是叛國的漢奸!
回覆刪除當時本人可能年紀還少,對他所說的話一知半解
雖然我已與他失去聯絡很久,但長大了之後,有時當靜下來思索的時候,思想上總會感到有一點莫明的疑惑與失落:(
彌明:
回覆刪除妳既無打算從政,就不要放棄美籍呢:)

今次我就真係好同意陳大文講既嘢喇,
回覆刪除你睇,
柴玲而家喺美國做生意幾happy？:D
唔知如果erica當時係喺北京既其中既一個大學生，佢會係死守喺廣場果個丫, 定係即刻走頭果個？:D
如果你咁唔希罕個美國passport, 點解要有人要求你你先放棄?
回覆刪除袁小姐你唔需要將放棄美藉講得咁偉大。所有有美國藉但居海外的人都要交稅俾美國政府,你長期係香港,又無打算返美國定居,放棄美國藉對你黎講其實交少份稅o者,你咁叻女肯定識計呢條數!
閣下誤會了。我的意思是不會放棄美國籍。
回覆刪除避稅？閣下實在太小看我了。
