The Questions

When living in a foreign country you soon pick up on the language Some languages are easier than others, as for me I can pick up on Spanish 20x's faster than Chinese. Despite any barriers you soon pick up on certain questions which seem to come up no matter who you are talking with.

1. Where are you from? (From me the question is are you Russian?)
2. Where are you going? Alone?
3. Are you scared to travel?
4. How old are you?
5. Are you married?
6. Do you like China? (Country your visiting)
7. How much do you earn? Pay?

These are the first questions that I picked up on in Chinese. My students/ translators would translate, but soon gave up translating and ended up answering for me because the questions were/are asked so often.
