I've been called many things in my life...
Most people don't speak French and I would never expect them to pronounce Duuhneeese properly. I've been called 'Dennis' as in a boy's name (all my life), most Chinese people pronounce it a 'Deeneese" and lastly my favorite of them all 'Dahneese'. The list of variation continues as I get older... And that's just my FIRST name.
Keller is such a German name, it doesn't get anymore Deutsch than that. And again 'L' to most Asians is a tongue twister. In Japan I watch in amazement how most hotel staff hurt themselves by calling me: 'Ms Kerureru'. And back home, cab drivers get a kick out of calling me 'Ms Killer', which I don't mind so much. In return I get an imaginative movie scene, jumping out of the car with my mobile being a gun. I digress...
I arrived at HK airport for Mastercard's Luxury Week Press Conference recently, only to be picked up by my limo driver with a signboard that says:
Very riceless...I mean, priceless..
