  • True, but I was comparing it to Mandarin and Cantonese (OP didn’t say which Chinese language but I assume it’s one of these). Both of them are also tonal languages from what I understand so in that way they are all different from English.

    However, Vietnamese is easier since the characters are more recognizable. Listening to movies/shows with subtitles makes it easier to understand and it’s easier to pick up reading Vietnamese than reading Chinese.

    The issue here though, is that for OP it seems like Chinese is the more practical language to learn since their “friends” also speak it.



  • Small squeezable bottle for my mouthwash. It’s a lot lighter to lift up and takes up way less space on my sink. The one I have is fairly large for a travel bottle (about 7 in tall by 2 in wide) so I only have to refill it every 1-2 weeks.

    Another item I like a lot is my garlic press. It’s great for adding a strong garlic flavor to sauces without adding any crunchy texture. The garlic dissolves into the sauce (for the most part). It’s also super good for garlic bread too. If you’re getting one, I highly recommend a metal one since I’ve heard the plastic ones don’t last long. I have the Kuhn Rikon brand because I figured it was a “buy it for life” item but there are other cheaper steel presses too.


  • It’s been a while since I’ve seen the film, but I’d say both.

    Rooney just wanted proof that Ferris was skipping school, which he was. He went about it the wrong way by entering the Bueller household but he was basically just trying to do his job. He definitely gets obsessive about it but he’s not in the wrong.

    Jeanie is pretty self explanatory. She also just wants Ferris to suffer the consequences of his actions.

    I think this movie never sat well with me because Ferris obviously does so many wrong and criminal things but is actually rewarded for it. Sure, you should take the time to enjoy life but not at the expense of others.
