It's true, China is a little depressing like that. But really, that's just part of the experience to see how nothing really costs what they say it does, that everyone pays in cash and the largest note is the equivalent of about 14 bucks, that the sky is perpetually grey and you can look directly at the sun without it hurting, that a 4 lane highway can hold 7 lanes of traffic, that spitting on the ground is like breathing . . . oh, and that guards with shotguns will stand around an ATM getting changed out!
Well, Bell', I'm certainly glad you're enjoying things. Also, Mid-Autumn IN China had to be pretty sweet.

Meh, Cantonese is the only important one anyway.
And don't let the state try to tell you otherwise!

Hell no to the Shanghainese. I can't understand accented Chinese at all... which means I can't understand, like, 80% of the Chinese population. ;_;
