(Part of) my Cantonese Final

The cast got upgraded a little. ;) Thanks Kozey.

A video I did together with Wenqi for our Cantonese final. Starring Bertram and Cecilia.




Translation:

M: Hello, is A-Cheui around?
- Sorry, A-cheui just went out. May I ask who's speaking please?
M: This is A-Mahn, I'm his classmate. Could you please tell me when he'll be back?
- I think he should be back in an hour.
M: Great. I'll call back later then. Thanks! bye!
- You're welcome. Bye!


M: Hello, is A-Cheui there?
C: Speaking. Who is this please?
M: This is A-Mahn.
C: Oh! A-Mahn, hi!!
M: The holidays are coming up - I'm thinking of going on a trip. How about you?
C: I'd like to go on a trip too. Where do you want to go?
M: I really want to go to Hong Kong. Have you been to Hong Kong before?
C: Yeap, I've been to Hong Kong once. But I don't mind going again!
M: Is Hong Kong a fun place to visit?
C: Oh yes. The scenery there is nice, transportation is really convenient, and the food is really yummy.
M: That's great! When did you go?
C: I went there in August last year. Where in Hong Kong would you want to go?
M: I've heard people say that Victoria Harbour, the Big Buddha and the Museum of Coastal Defense are must-sees.
C: Ok. Also, I haven't been to Ocean Park before, what say you we go together?
M: Sure! Hrm. How long do you think we should spend in Hong Kong?
C: I think about 5 days or so should be enough.
M: Ok. Do you know what the weather in Hong Kong is like in June?
C: Hong Kong's weather in June is generally hot and humid. It won't rain at all.
M: Oh ok, so we should bring t-shirts, shorts, sandals and a cap too.
C: AND lots of cash if you want to go shopping. Stuff there is pretty expensive.
M: Sure. Is the food there expensive too?
C: Eh... depends on where you eat. The noodle houses aren't expensive. The food they sell there is all really good. You can order wonton noodles, mixed pork porridge, vegetables in oyster sauce and many other things.
M: Wahhh... You're making me hungry! Hey, why don't we go grab some dim sum?
C: Sure! We can talk more when we're there.
M: 1 o'clock, Fu Lam Mun Restaurant at Castro Street. Okay?
C: Sounds good. See you then. Bye!
M: Bye!
