East meets West

A small-town Chinese Malaysian boy marrying a midwestern American girl of Norwegian-German descent sometimes makes for hilarious crossed-lines. Thought I should share our conversation from last night, on where to take her family when they come to the Malaysian wedding.
Kris: Where else should we take them?
Me: Hmm. Well, we could take them to Kuala Selangor, famous for its fireflies. My Canadian friends loved it when we took them there years ago.
Kris: YOU EAT FIREFLIES????
Me: >_<
She's seen us Malaysians/Singaporeans eat. She happens to think we eat anything that moves (which is probably true).
P/s: 26 more days to the wedding!
