  1. When I went to Beijing for a 1 month course after studying Chinese for five years at an evening degree course in London. The Chinese were often surprised that a foreigner could speak Chinese and went to obscure museums like 北京鲁迅博物馆 Beijing Lu Xun Museum (I think I was the only non-Chinese there) but it is where Lu Xun wrote 野草 one of my favourite pieces by him and one I did a presentation in class on. I occasionally was the subject of interest and often addressed in English and also Russian My Russian was "I don't speak Russian, I am English" which weirds folks out as apparently I have an almost native accent LOL I did get stared at a lot in China
