I had a bewildering, but very
amusing, conversation while
in Beijing recently:
Me: So what do you do?
Chinese lady: I’m Harry Potter
Me: You mean you LIKE Harry Potter?
Chinese lady: No, I AM Harry Potter!
Me: Really? So can you do magic spells?
Chinese lady: Pardon?
Me: Spells. Can you do spells?
Chinese lady: Certainly. R-E-P-O-R-T-E-R.
I’m Harry Potter …for a newspaper.
Me: Oh. You’re a reporter!
Chinese lady: Yes, I told you. I'm Harry Potter.
