Ever wish you could speak another language fluently without having to go through all the trouble of learning it?
One Australian man seems to have done just that.

“Most of it’s hazy, but when I woke up seeing a Chinese nurse, I thought I was in China,” McMahon told the Herald Sun. “It was like a dream. It was surreal. It was like my brain was in one place but my body was in another. I just started speaking Chinese – they were the first words that left my mouth.”
