Mozart, being Austrian, was more discreet?

sooo weird...
Just some observations, my written English is bad, it is something I have
to
improve, however, my understanding, both read when listening are close to a
native, and my oral production is excellent (:P). And honestly, I will not
really use my writing ability in Wikimania or Hong Kong, but my English was
evaluated for it.
But I think the message should be "have a level of English sufficient to
follow the lectures, discussions and conversations"
And also I did not find that a good test for English, there's a maximum
limit, but there is no minimum limit. I could say: "I have a very
restricted diet because I am Jewish and vegan, so my diet is restricted to
that."
I could say, or, "I like almost everything, but I'm lactose intolerant, so
I can do much poop if I eat things with milk." Until that can be
interpreted only
as something to check if I have dietary restrictions, as in previous
questionnaires.
And one of the advantages of being Brazilian, is that many of us find it
easy to understand other Latinos, the reverse is not true, I would not find
it strange to see some lectures in Interlingua, or even, Italian or
Spanish.
But as the Wikimania is itinerant, lectures in the local language could be
very interesting, and even a form of local people interact more, I
know that English
is present among the HK natives, but I do not see why not have a lectures
in
Cantonese to appreciate local culture...
