Once Upon a Time In China - Chinese Poem West Lake - Hangzhou

A few years ago, I joined a China 7 days 8 nites Tour package together with Dabren. It was in October, we travelled from Shanghai till Nanjing ( i think) and along the way we stopped over in like 7 others cities one of them is Hangzhou and its legendary West Lake ( Sai Woo - in Canto). This West Lake is well known for its beauty landscape and astounding nature captivating every soul that past this way. West Lake also plays a part in China's history as this lake has been mentioned over and over again in Ancient China's history.

Lee is the only male tour guide we meet on this China Tour Package of ours, he is in charge of our well being while we are in Hangzhao, he is a funny guy with lotsa tales to tell, one of the highlight of the trip was the boat/ferry ride across the West Lake. It was drizzling that day so most of us stay inside the ferry to avoid getting soaking wet and its also kinda cold in October. Lee were sitting right next to us and he decides to strike up a conversation with us.

This is the ferry/boat that bring us across the West Lake

Lee : How ? West Lake nice anot ? (in mandarin)
Dabren : What is he asking ?
Me : Honey, Lee is asking you, how is the scenery ?
Me : Lee she dun understand Mandarin, can you speak in canto ?
Lee : Sorry only a little bit, you mean Malaysia chinese cant speaks Mandarin ?
Me : Some of us can, but those from National skool mostly cant.
