Ok. So I’m going to China for a school-run holiday, and I’ve got a day or so for shopping in Beijing, and I assume in Xi’an and Chengdu as well.
I’m curious as to what my chances are of getting an ocarina, or an instrument of a similar tone, shape and style, to the sweet potatoes available in america.
I’d be looking for something made of wood, of no more than $170US (I’m from Australia, so that’s about 200 to me).
Is what I’m thinking possible? I’m not familiar with Chinese instruments, or just how cheap things would be there.
Thanks

I’m not interested in writing or being able to read Chinese, I just want to be able to speak and communicate with people.
The idea of learning a language in a class room environment is torture to me.
My plan is to use the Rosetta Stone for my first semester and study abroad in China during my second semester. I hope that by using the Rosetta Stone I can have a fairly good understanding of the language and when I finally get to China, my Mandarin could only improve even more.

1. The Chinese language has thousands of symbols. How do they deal with that on computers?
2. There are hundreds of unique names. How do Chinese people make up new symbols for new names without overriding any commonly used symbols?
3. How do Chinese people memorize that many characters?

I think something is better than nothing; We started boycotting Chinese’s products. On a banner of 11 x 8.5 letter size has written “Chin and Burmese Students around the world boycotting Chinese’s products until, unless China uses sanctions on Burma for political changes”. This banner could be found in every corner, university notice boards, high school, hospital, elementary school, even workplace. And the world would aware what we have done. We are freedom lover. Please write comment:)
With regards,

Here it goes, the final showdown.
Which is “better”?
A better place to live?
More important to the world’s future?
Produces the better cultural and artistic output (Music, uniforms, architecture, paintings)?
Has the better-sounding language?
Has the better everyday culture?
Better food?
Better national geography?
Better collection of celebrities?
etc.
I’m interested in hearing some gut-reactions.
I’m a Russian studying Chinese language (Mandarin) and history, so this topic comes up all the time when my friends and I are feeling confrontational.

It was an idea I just had. A good or bad one I don’t know but the thing is, I’ve been learning Chinese for about four months now (I’m 15) and I find it so hard to stay motivated and focused. I think teenagers especially, can be very judgmental about anyone who does something that different from the “normal” or “expected” of your average teenager. I know I’ve certainly had some harsh/ignorant/odd comments simply because I’m learning Chinese and I have no personal history about it (in other words my family isn’t Chinese and the closet connection I have are some friends at school who are from China. I think perhaps this judgmental and prejudiced attitude puts off some western teenagers from learning an Asian language like Chinese or Japanese.
So I was wondering, do you think a website specifiically (but not soluly) aimed at teenagers could combat this or just give inspiration to those learning already? I think if the awareness of learning Chinese or Japanese was spread then teenagers wouldn’t think it was a “weird” thing to do. (I know my friends do). Even if people don’t share this opinion, I think many people just don’t see Chinese as an easy accessible language like Spanish or French and are missing out. I just thought if we built a community of young Chinese learners then this would help spread the awareness of the language, inspire new people to learn and help motivate those already learning. What do you think?
Is this a plausible idea? (I’m quite tech savvy if I say so myself 
lol) Do you think people would go for it if presented in the right way? What’ are you thoughts on this?

I’ve been looking into the CIA, DIA, and NSA a lot recently as possible career choices, but my problem is that they all require experience in a similar career… So where is the job that you’re supposed to get started in?
I’m looking for a career a college graduate can get into. Next year I will graduate on the Dean’s List with a Degree in International Relations, and a double-major in Asian Studies. I can speak and read Chinese and I spent an entire year studying abroad in China.
I traveled various Asian countries during this time, but it doesn’t change that I have no experience in CI, HUMINT, or anything like that. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.
