Hi,

I want to make some Mandarin speaking friends.
I am used to Taiwanese accents.
Maybe I will go to China, or Taiwan again.
I'd like to have some friends from some cities in these countires.
Tell me about your home town.

I spent four days in Hong Kong. It's a very exciting city!

I have never been to China, let alone Hu Nan province.
I'd like to try living in China... So many places to see.
I'm afraid that China would be expensive since I am not Chinese.

I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, also a very beautiful city.

Yeah, I know... I can't go to China unless I have a Chinese friend, because everyone is going to try to over-charge me for everything. But I'm not rich.

Hehe... I don't need to meet foreigners in China. That's not a reason for me to go to Beijing. I prefer to meet local people.

I'd like to go to Beijing and learn the Beijing accent. Beijing people can understand my Chinese, but I can't understand theirs. I learned Chinese in Taiwan.

Strange, eh? Beijing has the most proper accent, but I can't understand it. Maybe if I lived in Beijing for while, my Chinese would be more standard.

China is a beautiful country. There're a lot of places of interest like the Fobidden City in Beijing and some natural place in Sichuan and Yunnan province.

Also, you can see the development in China. Tibet is the great example that shows us China is doing it's best to develop the west part. There are many art productions in China which the foreigners like very much. What's important, China is a country where you can enjoy the food.
