Because I Came from the Same Country as She is...

A Chinese guy came to our graduate room asked for our officemate Hyuan Yi. His speaking is hardly understandable because of the composition of Chinese plus English pronunciation. He stumbled on few words where he took times to think of the word in English. He showed much concerns if he cannot find the Chinese girl because he said he was late for the summer course registration. My friend was trying to tell him that the girl was just a master student and she has nothing to do with the course registration. One can always see for his/her advisor for registration purpose. Furthermore, the reception desk is available for any questions.

Then the guy explained to us that he really need to see our friend because he and the girl came from the same country, China. OK, it's not that I cannot figure it out. Everyone in the room can figure that out too. It was obvious. Next, we cannot offer him any help, so I offer myself to bring him to the reception counter. Outside the room, we bumped with another Chinese student and he started to feel comfortable speaking Chinese. And he don't need my help anymore.

Afterwards, the three of us who witness the situation, were confused of the important stuff he'd mentioned about the course registration. Instead of just smiling, one of my friend speak up.

"He just want to deal with a person who has a similar origin...that's all "
