She said thank you a thousand time. Never met someone that was so thankful.
She needed to go down the stairs, but had a huge luggage that was almost as big as she was. although there is a language barrier, I understood what she needed and so I carried her luggage down and the whole time she kept saying "Xie Xie, Xie Xie" and bowed her head while her hands in prayer position.
When I was done and walking away she continued saying "Xie Xie, Xie Xie" which I understood to mean thank you. She kept saying "Xie Xie, Xie Xie" until I was no longer visible (and that was a long time).
I have a bank full of memories, stolen memories and my memories. No longer sure of which is which so I look into every memory bill in search to find my memories. The price of memories, right now no longer worth much until someone is willing to charge because we are always willing to pay, we just don't know it yet. This is my memory banks and I share it with you.
that's the one word I will not forget in Chinese, xie xie...while in China, I said it so many times, it just stuck...Xie, Xie
ReplyDeleteIt def stick. I found myself saying it three days later before going to look it up to make sure that is what she was saying.
