Curious, do most HK or mainland chinese locals expects ABC (american born chinese) or CBC (canadian born chinese) to speak the chinese language?  The reaction I've seen or heard intrigued me.

I would like to add dealing with working girls if you CAN'T speak Mandarin, I get the impression some girls are more likely to cheat you because you are a foreigner. ( any foreigner meaning Asian or Caucasians ).  These girls think they can get away with more things because they think you don't the rules and cannot really complain.  This has happened to me more often than my friends who speak Mandarin.  When these girls try to do something funny, my friends give them a warning in Mandarin and most of the time they will obey.  I only know the basics from two semester in College and I can't do the same.
