good luck then on your mandarin lessons.. hope you really get to maximize that...

take note lang just in case... as far as i remember, ang turo sa akin nun nung nasa LI ako eh yung mga sulat (texts) na pinababasa sa akin nun was yung traditional way of writing chinese.. this is good and still prevalently used in taiwan... but sa mainland china... yung shortcut way of writing na ang kadalasan ginagawa nila... kaya minsan di ko mabasa mga nakasulat.. pero pag nag uusap na o binigkas na .. nagkakaintindihan na kami...


ako given the opportunity.. maganda yung sa beijing .. there's also one in shanghai i think... in a way you're dropping your life here for an extended amount of time.. but the experience you'll get there.. and the contacts that you may develop (considering classmates mo are from different countries) may be worth it in the long run...
