I like a girl or a woman, who prefers speaking her own dialect,
but is proficient in English more than Mandarin.
I think if too westernized, they lose touch with asian traditions,
while being too Chinese educated makes them pretty much a mountain
tortoise. I find those who were Mandarin educated often have
difficulty expressing themself in English, and also in describing
things in English.
She should also be inquisitive in terms of self-seeking to learn
more about the world, than just habitually turning to the person
next to her to ask out of convenience. If you find out things on
your own, you're more likely to remember what you've learnt. Asking
makes a person's mind - LAZY!
