Please Excuse Me Whilst I Bang My Head Against The Wall

I would like to share with you all an insight into the Chinese way of thinking. This is the kind of thing I deal with on a daily basis. Allow me to paint the picture.
So, I am at a local University with a bunch of the TA's (teachers assistant) from work visiting another TA (Jason) where he attends school. Jason is hilarious and i always enjoy visiting him. What makes him so funny is that he is not even trying to be funny. You see, Jason's hobby is truly learning English but he gets very bored with just knowing straight forward expressions and goes through great lengths to learn American slang. He watches movies constantly and unlike other Chinese he is not afraid to try what he has learned. He is the only Chinese person i know that will exclaim "Oh, fucka my ass man! " as a greeting for someone he has not seen in awhile and is happy to see.
It was a beautiful day and we filled it with tennis (i suck btw), basketball (which i still don't like because of the sense memory of all the black kids beating me up as a child), dinner, pool (i'm getting better!), and ice-cream. Indeed a full day.
So, during this day I turned to my colleague Vera and asked her;

me: How old is Jason?
Vera: The same age as Oscar.
me: oh, well how old is Oscar?
Vera: I don't know.
me: ...
me: ...

And that about sums it up right there.
