Hey, mamasan, stop what you're doin'!
Hey, mamasan, you'll drive me to ruin.
Mongo understands that people immigrate to the glorious United States to earn more money to bring back home, but the problem is when speech becomes bit of an issue. Mongo remembers one time at a certain massage parlor where Mamasan fit the stereotype too much by mixing the Rââ¬â¢s with Lââ¬â¢s and not being able to understand any English whatsoever however Mongo doesnââ¬â¢t discriminate, Mongo adapts.
Communication Breakdown, It's always the same,
I'm having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!
Mongo knows the business of the trade, Mongo knows that you as the client want someone or something in particular, most of the workers in a massage parlor wonââ¬â¢t really understand your needs, thus Mongo wants to give you a quick rundown of the simple basics of traditional phrases to help you out mixed with some additional tips.
For your average Asian Parlors, just know the variety in what they provide, remember Asians are not an universal race, there are multiple verities and popularity such as Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese, Thai, Filipino, and the illusive Japanese.
Remember that with such a multicultural generation living today, not all language will be universal, some culture and language will be mixed as a hybrid per se.
For example: You can either say, ââ¬ÅAn yang hah seh yoââ¬Â for hello and follow it off with a bow if you want to be that courteous. If you impress whomever is there, try to say, ââ¬Å(Insert Name) ill ohnell?ââ¬Â Now you may be thinking, ââ¬Ëisnââ¬â¢t ill a word for being sick?ââ¬â¢ No, no, in Korean that would translate well into ââ¬Åworkingââ¬Â while that word ââ¬Åohnellââ¬Â would sound like today in Korean.
Also remember, hand signals are universal as well so if you want something a bit more as well, Mongo wants to reiterate what the British do when someone angers them, move your hand up and down in the air. It may be an insult to some in other cultures, a universal receptor in communication for the latter.
If worst comes to worst, Mongo wants to show the various apps and online internet tools you and your smartphone can bring to the massage table. So remember, Mongo says,
ââ¬ÅHey, mamasan, I got something I think you ought to know.
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.ââ¬Â
