I'm the only Chinese ?

[Synon Zelra]

I wonder if there's only myself one Chinese in this forum ?

 

[Peter Parka]

I haven't notices any other Chinese here but there are loads of members from all different countries. I'm from England and as well as the US members I've noticed people from Canada, Australia and Spain. I'm sure you'll fit right in whatever country you're from.

 

[Synon Zelra]

yeah, when I find the forum a warm one,
and ...I think maybe I can learn a lot from people who come from other countries

 

[Peter Parka]

I think we can all learn thing from other countries cultures, it makes us more intelligent and understanding if we do that rather than being biggoted and racist like some narrow minded people.

 

[Synon Zelra]

Since this ... Can I know what's ur idea about China ?

 

[andcuriouser]

From what I understand, China is a great place to shop!

My boyfriend and I are probably going to be spending a few weeks in China, as we're contemplating adopting a little girl from there in a few years. Chinese culture seems very rich and interesting. Although it isn't going to be for probably two years at least, I'm still very excited about going.

 

[Peter Parka]

I realy don't know a lot about China, never been there. I know it's a Communist coutry, has a bit of an overcrowding problem and I've just heard that they are now going to relax the death penalty slightly. I don't really know anything much about your culture though. What festivals, holidays do you celebrate?

 

[Synon Zelra]

A great palace for shopping ? yeah, it's in Hongkong...
And in Chinese culture, what impacts me most is to be polite.
To be polite is always emphysised in families,schools and the society.
and it is ironic that a well-educated Chinese will argue with another in a very "peaceful" way...which seems really peaceful but ...

 

[Synon Zelra]

Except for some common holidays, we've got a lot of festivals
most of which has been only in our mind
I've to go to sleep...
look forward to the next chatting...

 

[Haus]

question for ya. are you reading what we type in Chinese just like we are reading what you typed in English???

 

[Haus]

and what is in Dumplings??

they're so good.

 

[Peter Parka]

I like the sound of the politeness, people in England can be quite rude at times, especially in arguments, its worse when I pop over to France though, most people over there seem to be permenantly rude though its just their culture I guess.

 

[Mrs Behavin]

This is too cool and so interesting to read! Keep it up!

 

[Synon Zelra]

and what is in Dumplings??

they're so good.

en...in Dumplings there may be many kinds of food...
almost all kinds of vegetables and meats, if you really want to eat.
And in my memory, many kinds of food which is only in China are all called Dumplings.
And there is also a legend about the origin of Dumplings.

I believe that in China there is only one time Zone. Is this still true? It must be really weird.

[Synon Zelra]

you see, China is very large
so it is certain that different cities in China has the different time zone
but we make it a rule that China use the time zone +8

 

[BaggedSplash]

konichiwa.....shit thats Japanese. anywho, welcome to Offtopicz. hope you have a pleasant stay over here as we are all pretty decent people.

 

[sharpies]

I remember reading somewhere that there was only one time zone & it was set for Peking which meant that the rest of China was totally out of sync with sunrise & sunset, but maybe the modern age has caught up & now that China has entered the world stage, she has adopted different time zones.

China has been going through one hell of a modernisation phase during the past 10 - 15 years & with the natural wealth, diversity of people, tenacity & drive of the current regime (even if a little harsh at times), China is fast becoming a major leader.

do you practise wu shu?

 

[Synon Zelra]

do you practise wu shu?

en...it is a big problem...
Wu Shu is not so widely practised in China...
and ... I think Wu Shu is not as what you think in your mind.
The really Wu Shu doesn't look like what in the movie
Generally speaking, except some particular people whose job is to attend the Wu Shu compition, there're only the old practise Wu Shu. And to practise it is only for the health~
