Sat, 08:00: I made an attempt to use a Chinese phrase translated to English today in response to a compliment-- "哪里哪里" ended up as "nothing, nothing"
Sat, 08:02: Didn't really work out. It's the amazing cultural difference btw America & China. Americans will accept the compliment and reply "Thank you"
Sat, 08:04: While the Chinese will rigorously refuse the praise, deterring it saying literally "where is it? Where is it?" (referring to their talents)
