Was amused to read this article on the bbc news site about Globish, as it's pretty much how I've been speaking for the past few months: "Why no clean sheets?", "Your price too expensive!", "No want Tiger Balm", etc. etc. In fact I got so good at it that I was finding it hard to switch back to English 'proper' and was using it as my default language, even when we met people who spoke English as a mother tongue.... which meant we had to work hard on more than one occasion to to convince people from the UK that I wasn't Russian or Finnish or something.

We did a couple of hours of lessons learning Bahasa Indonesia in Ubud and Globish reminds me a bit of that in it's simplicity (at least for beginners) - it has no plural forms, no genders, and no conjugation of verbs. We didn't learn all that much but one phrase we used a lot with agressive taxi drivers was Saya mau jalan-jalan - "I want walk!"
