It's all good, brother!
It was really just Cantonese Chinese food. The owner also had a VHS and Betamax video store next door full of Chinese (HK) movies. After dinner time, I delivered food and movies to people's homes. A perk, we got to watch Enter the Dragon and Silver Fox and Drunken Master in Chinese. A child learns quickly.
I needed money, so I worked a lot. I did every job I could get my hands on. Our family was poor. They were immigrants. C'est la vie.
A lot of wealthy European retired scholars moved there. It was safe and they could afford gated communities on the beach!
Rich French, Germans, Dutch, Brits, Italians etc etc. When I say neighbor, I mean in the same neighborhood. NOT next-door neighbor. I spent my whole day after school with the retired scholars doing work for them for money. Most Europeans, especially retired scholars, seem to enjoy the hands-on approach to doing things. Hence, how I became a polyglot.
Cheers, mate!
