In the last part of our catch up, we spoke a bit what we have been up to during the lockdown and how the outbreak of virus changed our way of living. 

Manyee and I continued to chat about life in Chinese school. She said nobody would say they love going to Chinese school, and she didn't think quitting was even an option. I am sure she is glad she did, because she is not able to converse fluently and able to communicate with her relatives in Hong Kong with no problem. 

Earlier in May, I caught up with a friend who speaks perfect Cantonese. We had a chat about her life growing up in Birmingham and how her household only speak Cantonese.
