That's a tough question but as they are both communist countries I must say that I am comfortable with being both Chinese and Canadian.

Why aren't you french canadian?

French Canadians are ****ed

Why do we need a special name for Cold America?

It's not rude if you apologize

Sifo, do you feel a strong connection to your Chinese background?

Why do you type so fast?

I've never been near a railroad.

I type fast because of genetics.

Authentic Chinese food is okay but in my opinion the most boring of oriental cuisine

fish sauce has nothing to do with teriyaki.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/confused-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862495)

I'm also pretty sure fish sauce has no sugar in it either.

If Chinese are Communists and Canadians are Communists as well, does being a Chinese-Canadian make you a double Commie or do they cancel each other out?

I've met Jackie Chan a lot but I prefer Jet Li. He starred in a movie I'm named after :) (Fong Sai Yuk). Basically, Jet Li starred as me in a movie about me.

Is there good Chinese food in Vancouver?

never been but yes in Toronto it's gucci. better Asian food here than anywhere else in Canada probably, though there are a lot of fobs in Vancouver.

What you need to remember is,  the best bubble tea place is the place with the cutest female sales rep.

This is honestly the most important factor..  the tea makes little difference, the recipe is so simple that the majority of places does it good-enough...

Yea, I'd be looking at the second one. I don't like milk in my tea unless it's bloody sweet. Although the second one makes sense.  Although the bbl tea places here are mostly just buy your tea to go places. No pretty waitresses.
