Yup. They're both from Hong Kong, and I lived there for two years before immigrating to Canada. I go back to Hong Kong at least once a year, and my parents regularly speak to me in Cantonese. I listen to Canto songs, watch Canto TV shows, listen to Canto radio...go to Chinese school and learn Mandarin, Hanyu Pinyin and Cantonese. I can speak Cantonese as fluently as someone from Hong Kong, but I can also speak English just like someone who was raised here all their life. It's a shame I can't really read or write Chinese as well as I would like to... =\
