You Say Burma, I Say Myanmar

I went to a wonderful bakery near my office today. I've been going as often as possible the last several days, for the breakfast crissuants. There are several very nice Asian women in late middle age who work there. (The only French person I've ever seen was the owner; I once saw him walk in and go straight to the back office. He had his breakfast, from the place across the street. If someone )

Today as I was getting ready to leave one of the Asian women asked me if I was student. We talked for a moment, introduced each other, and other such things.

"I don't wish to be rude," I said, "But are you Vietnamese?"

"How did you know?" she asked.

"Well, this is a French bakery," I replied.

It's the second time I've been kicked out of a restaurant in my life, but it's the first time I regret it.

i don't get it..
