I just watched "Code 46", which, i might add, is one brilliant moovie,esspecially the script. The one interesting thing which draw my attention is use of colloquial non-english based words as substitues for some common speaking daily phrases,such as "mehow" (which i thoght was "ni hao") or "lo siento", "gracias"... I am really interested how've you come up with that idea?
