Mm. Suspected you were some kind of wa-kiu, since you're on this very much English-speaking mailing list. But the issue isn't if you're a Gwongdongyan or not, it's if you sik gong gwongdongwa or not, ji-m-ji ngo gong matye? Ok, you haven't even told me if you speak Cantonese or not, so perhaps I should lay off the Canto-romanizations for a while ;) FooChow mum? Do you speak Fujianhua then? Or just Mandarin (I think I've seen you answering questions about it, so I'm sure you're fluent)?
