Say, Grace

Funny moment from yesterday I forgot to mention: I'm coming out of a store when a young Chinese woman stops me to practice her English, which happens a lot here.
Her: Hi, my name Grace, where you from?
Me: Um, Los Angeles.
Her: Oh, American! You surprise me!
Me: Why's that?
Her: Americans very fat, you so slim!
Me: Thanks, Grace. (Although in my brain it went like this: Um, when all you offer me to eat here is donkey meat pot and honey nachos and go-to-court with son and variegated crap heads, what do you expect?)
I'm already ready for a huge meal of something I mostly recognize back home...
