Though I prefer my new place to the old one, one big drawback is that it’s not located on a subway line.  At least not yet; maybe in a couple of years, when I’m sure I will have moved on again.  So, most of my transportation lately has been by taking the bus, which has been getting steadily better – more comfortable, AC, less crowded.  And, just the other day, I hopped on a bus that had the passenger information recordings (the next stop, safety crap) in English as well as Chinese.  This was a first.  While the subway has always had Mandarin, Cantonese, and English, busses have always only used Mandarin.  So, I had a curious sense that I would prefer to only have Mandarin spoken on the busses.  I guess that parallels how I prefer to not her “Para continuar en Espanol, marque en ‘dos’” in the United States even though I can speak Spanish.
