So, when Finns come out with 'voi, voi, voi' with a sigh, others invariably come back with 'Ja l�mmin leip�!' which as you state means 'And hot bread'. It is typical Finnish 'humour'. Anyway, v�lkommen till Kina! Hur l�nge ska du stanna? |
Lol, aha I get it... Never heard that expression before though  Sin� puhut hyvin suomea! Miss� asuit, kun asuit Suomessa?
Jag �r inte f�r tillf�lligt i Kina - jag pluggar i England. Jag vill fara tillbaka till Kina n�sta �r. Diskussionerna p� Dave's f�r mig bara att l�ngta tillbaka  |

Wow telling folk to shut-up in Danish - was pretty effective.
You can talk again now!!!!
(Even though I'm sure my last post had a serious grammar error here and there - Scandinavians can read each other�s languages with ease - even my bad Danish - apart from Finnish which is closely related to Hungarian) |

A friend of mine who is a British born chinese recently asked me for information regarding places to teach namely in Hong Kong.
I gave her the link to this website which is obviously extremely helpful and will provide her with much information.
The thing I would like is advice on how she should go about applying with her 'Asian' face to prospective employers who have this white face pre-requisite.
Thanks in advance. |

Since when does Danish have anything to do with working in China. If I wasn't such a nice guy I would "click on" the  button.
I wonder who has? Have you? ......
Thanks Sugar. |
