"I have to say that "ayi" is the only uniquely Shanghainese English that I can think of. Most English speakers in Shanghai will know what an "ayi" is (a maid/cleaner/cook)." (Maxiewawa) but do they know 'ayi' in Chinese means something different most of the time? and that they too can be called 'ayi' by little children, and don't have to feel 'insulted'?

in the Netherlands a lot of people go to mixed sauna's, and using the showers in front of each other isn't considered a problem at all. I think people would found it funny here as well, if women didn't want to shower in front of each other.

wildyaks, "Der Rattenfänger von Hameln" is also known here in the Netherlands (although you could regard us as belonging to the 'German speaking world'...) in the seventies there was even a child television series called: "Can you tell me the way to Hameln, sir?" :-) interesting link you've found, btw
