Loosa, I couldn’t agree more, I’ve never had an interesting conversation with anyone who couldn’t speak english so what’s the point in learning if I’ll only get to speak to boring people.

Learning new languages is seriously overrated, it’s like how I spent 10 years studying English in Scotland and than found out they do not speak the language anywhere else in the world! Good thing I can still communicate via writing on esoteric internet blogs.

“wo juede shanghai hen hao wan!”
=
“I believe Shanghai is fun”

That’s the way I meant “believe” not as in “I believe in dragons”.

You learn something new every day.. even after 31 years of speaking Mandarin. My mother warned me not to use “Juede” while enjoying a rub down from those Xikang Lu massage girls.

Dragons won’t drag me to race on the Huangpu… much less swim in it. Go get them, Emma!

Koo – Juede can mean believe, just not the same usage of believe as you think. Believe can mean to think or feel. It’s just like in French they have “penser” which means to think and “croire” meaning to think / feel / believe.

The word ” Juede” doesnt mean “believe”, it means “think or feel” instead. Who the hell is your mandarin teacher? HEHE~~

Dragon Boating is another euphamism for an excuse to get seriously wicked pissed at a party featuring complimentary or deeply discounted alcoholic beverages.
eg: What’s on tonite?
I dunno. Let’s go dragon boating.

You don’t even need to study the Chinese so hard for tattoo interpretation as it’s not a deep subject, people choose the easy dumb ones for their tattoos, and they’re all the same five repeated over and over. “Winter” is a popular one, I can think of at least six heavy metal frontmen with it tattooed somewhere on their sleeves.

I was there when you started the Chinese lessons and i’m pretty sure i told you they were absolutely wrong about you not studying the Chinese characters along with the speaking part, but did you listen, did you buggery. I was also there when your teacher went on a completely unprovoked rant about how much she hated the Japanese and barely paused when you told her my girlfriend was one!

You should go – just turn up in heavy bandaging and a limp and tell them revenge is yours.
