First off, I am well aware of the difference between Mandarin and Cantonese, seeing as how I've spoken Cantonese pretty much exclusively at home for the 16 years of my life :Da In this AU, though, as China and HK are brothers, their backstory makes it so it wouldn't be plausible for him to be a fluent speaker. I chose instead to work in the codeswitching part of Cantonese into his Mandarin to make up for it, though-- plus if you think about it, written out there wouldn't be any difference save for traditional vs simplified and the such \o/
As for his hometown, is it really that important? x3a I figured most people would take it as a given to be Hong Kong Island, so yeah.
The thing with the pandas is it's practically accepted in the fandom as canon so I'm basically just rolling with that xD You could point out things like that for all the other countries, like iunno, Paddington Bear or something for Arthur instead of Flying Mint Bunny, but yeahh Zhi just likes his pandas, man. Blame Yao if you must~*~
Thank you for the fun facts too~ Always found street food crazy and never did understand how people could find it in themselves to stuff scorpians down their throat, haha. I'll try to find a way to work them in or something? x3 Though I suppose I'll be biased when it comes to PSPs.. :'Da /intense Nintendo fan yeahhhhh *u*)9
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to write so much! \o/ I appreciate it, and sorry if I came off as a little defensive or something, h-haha. All the best if you're going to be challenging for Thailand! 6*A*)9
Haha, well I was hoping I could be helpful but it looks like I failed. Sorry if it felt like a lecture..and worse yet, a lecture on something you already knew all about. ;;
I just really love Hong Kong and love to talk about it at every opportunity. ;w;
