I don't speak Chinese but I know some from when i lived there. Some years later back in Australia I went to order some food in a food court and all the Chinese girls were chatting in Mandarin and not paying attention, When one of them turned around i asked her for curry chicken in Mandarin. She just served me and as i went to pay for it she suddenly looked shocked and asked me whether i had really ordered it in mandarin. I said to her that I had as it seemed that she was in "Chinese mode" and it made sense to me to not have her change back to English. She thanked me and we had a chat for about five minutes about food.
