Are you managing to communicate ok in English or mandarin?

Has there been anything odd in the training, a particular style or little point that you have never seen in the UK?



I'ved been surprized how much Chinese I have been able to use.....I wondered if my pronunciation would be so off centre that no one would be able to understand. I kow I'm not that good at it but I have been out and about on my own and been able to communicate pretty well. It's made a lot easier by the friendliness we've met everywhere. People even come up to us in the street and say "Hello" anf then grin.

It's all great fun.

I'll post about today's class later but it is all going really well....except I've failed to post any pictures yet 'cos I'm too stupid and don't sem to get the uploading right even though I've been shooting away on my spanking new camera.

If any one's seen Will can you ask him to help me out.
