As anticipated: they really don’t accept the existence or functionality or use case of a dishwasher
They are not even capable of putting things in it lol (to be fair I only started using one a year ago too. It’s such a big cultural lift)
I neeed their help with translation! I go to a Chinatown tailor for alterations.. they only really speak Toishanese. A lot of my comms happen through pointing and common words. Yesterday was ‘I lost my receipt but I have these items for collection’, which I can’t say in Toishanese. My parents speak 4 or 5 different southern Chinese languages so they helped with that. The seamstress aunties were like ‘oh we thought she’s an ABC that’s why she can’t speak to us’
