That's one way to learn a language...

As anyone who's tried to learn a language will know, the conversations in language books tend to be extremely dull, anodyne and bear little resemblance to reality.

For a twist, how about having a Norwegian woman with a false moustache and breastplate,
talking to herself in Cantonese about getting to a whorehouse (and ordering chicken)...

That was probably one of the weirdest things I have seen! The language problems aside... what the hell was the woman doing wearing a mustache and fake fat-guy boobs? I am so confused! (although I am laughing)
