Oops!

One lesson I learnt yesterday is that one should never (let me stress NEVER) incur the wrath of an expat tai tai. For one, she will have all the time and an extensive network to ensure that your misdeed is made known to the other ladies... and these ladies will in turn inevitably update their husbands over the dinner table. And you really wouldn't want to embarass your husband at his workplace with your ungraciousness.

Sounds kind of negative but this is how the grapevine works and I saw how powerful it can be over an incident yesterday. I wasn't the party involved (thank goodness!) but I was one of those who got to hear about it. Sounded very unbecoming but then again but there will be more to come, I'm sure.
