I understand the odd few symbols :smile:

It was hilarious when I was playing TF2, we went into a server with Chinese writing, and I was just sat there laughing because it said 'Chinese noodle store' on the front of all of the shops :lol:

Nice to see so many people trying to speak Chinese ! Feel free to ask me anything, although I'm not fluent .. I know quite a few stuff about learning Chinese now.

我很想中国，也很想说汉语。。。但是，会说汉语的外国人很少 :frown:

Oh it sounds lovely :redface:

Italian cities always look so picturesque and so interesting to explore :redface:

Is there actually much crime there though, like mafias and stuff, or am I just relying too heavily on Hollywood to give me accurate descriptions of Italian cities nowadays? :redface:

Well yes, crime is pretty bad over there, but mainly in the rough areas. Otherwise, you just have to be smart : don't go home alone at night, don't show that you've got a fancy leather jacket/iPhone/jewelry, lock your front door ...
The mafia is really strong as well. They control everything. They're not violent unless you've got business with them and mess it up - which people usually avoid. But they're everywhere, they're super powerful.
There's a really good book about the Neapolitan mafia called Camorra if you're interested :smile:

中国是很好! 很多中国人不讲许多英语, or that's what it seemed like when I went to China! We did tend to go to some less-touristy places though :smile:

Perhaps I'll just make a short day trip then :wink:

It still looks such a beautiful place to live though, so it's sad that such beauty is counteracted by scary people :frown:

对，一般来说，中国人不会说英语。我觉得，这样的很好。在中国的时候，必须说汉语。
但是，很多上海人会说一口流利的英语。我跟上海人说汉语的时候，他们常常用英语回答。。。太麻烦了。

I don't understand, which language would be easy for me to learn? Or are you talking about languages in general?

Sono stata a Shanghai un paio di volte (l'ultima volta era per capodanno.. È stato fantastico ! :biggrin:

) e mi arrabbiavo sempre con quelli che mi rispondevano in inglese :rolleyes:

haha
