I am fluent in #Cantonese and #Mandarian.
(Shout out to my mom that made sure I was a good student in Chinese school.)
I started learning some #Shanghainese, considering it is the main dialect in Shanghai and they are a premier international power player in art, architecture, and design like NYC.
Got my #EatOn at a #Shanghainese spot near me 🥢🥢♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ for #dinner yesterday with my dad

The famous diplomat/politician V. K. Wellington Koo 顧維鈞 (1888-1985) had a remarkable name: V. K. stands for Vi Kyuin, which is a rare case of someone using a #Shanghainese (Wu)-based transcription for their name!
(Wu Society now transcribes Vi Ciuin)
