Wuhan, in Huayang college of Arts.
Bathrooms are not OK almost anywhere in China, but I love the country, the culture is interesting.
What province is Binhai in? Should be on the coast, no? (hai=sea)

Suzhou is famous. Old saying goes: In heaven there is paradise, on earth there is suzhou, somewhere else and somewhere else (can't remember the other two places)

Also women just south of the yangtse are famous for being very pretty. I lived in Huzhou for a while, and I've been to Yimu, around Zhejiang province. I used to teach near nanjing, and would party at weekends in Shanghai, so my Friday and sunday trips would go through suzhou. I was there for a med test and in zhouzhuan, the chinese venice nearby, for my honeymoon.

Suzhou's one of the place where the bathrooms aren't disgusting ^_^ My aunt lives in an apartment and the time I went there the bathroom was like the US.

我: wo - me/I
愛: ai - love
你: ni - you
我愛你 - wo ai ni

tell us if he agreed to join Tomisimo - if not then that's fine. How will he practice Chinese with me?
If yes, that will be awesome. Tell us his username and I will immediately um greet him in Chinese!

I really hope he joins!

OK, jessica, pls give us some sentences, things to say every day, such as I'm full, it's raining, is it cold? Do you like it?, etc...

Kindly change a present sentence into past or future, any sentence you may think of...

Elaina will become famous soon enough
How will I know I have the right pronunciation?

For example.....xué.....if you were to write it in american letters, what letters would you use to obtain the closest pronunciation?

Esto es muy divertido! Gracias!
