Canadian Roommates

  Can you imagine two sports conditioning guys running around your house making ridiculous noises? Or, teaching two Canadians how to speak Chinese? I can because I have been living with two Canadian students, one is called Cody another is called David, for about 3 months. And they are really funny guys.

      I still revember the second day after they moved in they taught me “wasabi”. That day, when they saw me in the morning, they said “wasabi”. And I was confused. I said “what are talking about? Are you asking me for wasabi? Are you eating Japanese food?” Then they explained that wasabi means what’up, and it comes from noisy orange, a video on the Internet. After that, when we meet each other we always wasabi.

      Revember one day when I was talking with Cody, and I pronounced ‘pain’ uncorrect. Then Cody wanted to correct my wrong pronounciation. He said ‘pain’, and I said ‘pen’. “no” he said “it is pain, not pen”. “ pan” I said. “It is pain, not pan. Fucking Chinese speaking English” he said angrily. And then I had practiced several times before I got it. Then, later on that day, he told me to teach him how to say no in Chinese. Then I said “bushi”. “bosh” he repeated. “ It is bushi, not bosh” I said. “yes bosh”, he said. “hey, bushi and bosh are totally different.” “ bosh, right?” he said. “bushi, fucking Canadian speaking Chinese.” Then we were both laughing.

      Two weeks ago, while I was doing homework, David came into my bedroom with a pale face. And he looks bad. I thougt he was sick, but he said he was hungry, and he hadn’t eaten anything for two days. I asked him why he hadn’t eaten. He said, “ I want to know how long can put up with starving, but now I have not strength to cook anything, so can you give some breads.”

      They are so out of the ordinary. They are restless everyday. They are really funny. They are my canadian roommates David and Cody.
