Funny as...I don't knowI sure wish I spoke Chinese, because whatever it was, it must have been hi-larious. And, it was right outside the bathroom door, thus giving me a bit of performance anxiety. Just thought I'd share.

Not to reach into your subconcious or anything, but we do speak 7 languages. No kidding.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, worse than having people who are not speaking English stop talking, look at you, look back at each other and start laughing while talking again.
It will make you stare in the mirror for an hour trying to figure it out!
Was it Mandarin? That's the main language/dialect in China. There are many dialects in China... Jiangsu-Zhejiang, Hunan, Jiangsi, Hakka, Cantonese, etc. I think they have 11 dialects that are used the most often. (Thank God I took French in high school!) I could ask my husband, since he goes to China every few months but unless they were ordering food, he probably couldn't help you! They weren't saying anything that sounded like, "P-U!" were they? 'Cause then I don't think we need a translator...
We have the same problems at work. You just can't always eavesdrop, and you can't be sure just who it is they are laughing about.
well, that sure sounds like fun. ;o)
you pooted didn't you?
My inlaws speak Chinese around me all the time and it drives me nuts. And they do it in front of the kids, and even with the kids so now my girls speak in chinese phrases to one another...and when I say "what?" they clam up. I think they told the girls not to tell me what they're saying :)
