I hate to burst bubbles, but this advert drives me nuts. Anyone who has ever attempted to accept foreign money into an HSBC account will know exactly what I mean. You get charged £12 for a foreign cheque for example. I even asked 3 different departments in HSBC “but how does the little lemonade girl do it?” and they just laughed at me.

I love this adverb. one of the best I’ve seen, even its encouraging kids about knowing another language is one of the way to make them special from others. the Chinese adverb is so much better. the kid got a future

I find it really interesting that there’s a Hong Kong version too, where the girl addresses the mother and her son in Cantonese or Mandarin (I presume), saying that she takes Hong Kong Dollars, and that the board at the end has a different set of world currencies.

(And posting this has made me realise that the consumers in both cases are a mother and her son …)
