I'm starting slowly to run but I ended up walking.
Anyway, when I was on my last round of walking an old lady from the distance shout out something. She looked like she needed some help so I stopped by and walked to her.
Obviously it turned out to be a Chinese lady. She tried to talk to me in Swedish and then after like 1-2 minutes of trying to make me understand her Swedish she asked "You're from China right?"
Me: Yes
And then our conversation flooded in Cantonese smoothly.
She was looking for her granddaughter at school (she's not living in the same area as me) so I went to the kindergarten section and asked where I could find kids around 9-10 years old and she said they are at home (Easter break).
Wait, why am I telling this in detail? ANYHOW, our conversation while walking home was good. We were talking about random stuff which I had never ever done with an granny.
Our conversation was fresh, not like my grandmother's (father's side) talk, all about gossips.
She was sweet enough to go and find her granddaughter.
She suddenly told me "Actually, you're very beautiful" (NOTE: I wasn't wearing makeup, haven't washed my face (I KNOW IT'S DISGUSTING!), wore sunglasses, ponytail). Her compliment was so flattering.
It was a good start of the day!
