I learned some basic things in Mandarin Chinese before I got there, like stuff to say when you're trying to buy things, and greetings and etc. But Mandarin is very difficult for me since my first language is English, it's all based on different tones, and 3 different tones in Mandarin, can change one word's meanings. So I could say "Hey how is your mother" and if I tone it wrong I say "Hey how is your cow?"
Beijing at night, Wangfujing Ave...See those two long straps attached to that sphere looking thing? One person gets inside and this thing shoots off high into the sky and bounces all around...I was buzzing a bit so I thought it would be a bad idea to test this new mechanism.
