So I'm officially addicted to Mahjong, thanks to Sam. He taught me how to play the other week, and now I'm pretty confident about the whole thing. It's not the Mahjong you might be familiar with from early Windows -- in fact, it's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. The hardest part is remembering all of the names of the tiles (in Cantonese) while simultaneously trying to make the combinations necessary to win.
I was feeling kind of like a hustler until Sam pulled off what is known (roughly) as the "13 wonders" [sap saam yiu] and totally blew me out of the water. Aiiyaa.
