  • http://www.wchingya.com Ching Ya

    What a compilation.. I’m in awe. It’s like you’ve started a 1 week’s newsletter all about the cross culture related issues. It’s interesting to see people are sharing so much info over twitter and not knowing it (or maybe just me ^^). Great effort.

    “how difficult is mandarin?” Yes, it is kinda difficult. Just imagine the dialects.. Well, if you ever had any interest of learning, or even any questions about it, feel free to ask me anytime. Same if I wanna ask you about.. say, French? To me, it’s far more difficult than Spanish.

    Hi Ching Ya, I have always loved learning languages… and have always picked up my bags and traveled to learn. Maybe I’ll do it again some time soon. :)
