A lot of people don’t know why “chop-chop” means “Quick, quick!”. It took me a while to work it out: in Mandarin, “quick” is kuài 快, which sounds the same as the 筷 kuài in 筷子 kuàizi / chopsticks.
The characters in Mehmet, Cuzco chico and Changing currencies are the ones (+ my nephew Kaikai) who'd inspired me to start writing up my memories of my travels and events in my life (and other people's). If you think any of the contents might cause offence, please alert me. Being new to writing, I'm still tinkering, so they'll be morphing all the time.
