The Manger overheard the conversation and said, "You can't speak Mandarin? Oh, that will be a problem here," with a slight tone of disappointment, I felt offended and was determined to keep the job to prove to them that even though I could not speak my mother tongue I would learn the ways around the kitchen.

.... off the road because of being intoxicated or just plain reckless will be located quicker and easier.
