A good day at Niagara Falls I've been having fun this summer hanging out with friends. I live between Buffalo, New York and Niagara Falls, New York, USA. I try to find fun places to explore in the area. I will spend the day walking around local attractions with friends. Lately we have gone to the Naval Park in Buffalo, New York, The Lockport Caves in Lockport, New York, and various parks along the Niagara River between Buffalo and Niagara Falls. I spent the day yesterday with a friend at Niagara Falls. It was very hot. We went to the Cave Of The Winds. You travel down an elevator 180 feet then walk on stairways close to the water falls of the Niagara Falls. It was very fun :D Here are some pictures of some recent things I've been doing with friends: http://user.qzone.qq.com/2406118790/photo/ - Bob

Let's discuss Chinese culture! (In English)

I enjoy finding out about the small differences between chinese culture and other cultures. I live in America myself and there are many little differences that I've discovered already. I have Chinese friends and every once in a while we discover new differences between our cultures.

 

I decided to create this area to discuss these differences. One thing that I've also discovered is there are different opinions in China based on the person themselves. Older Chinese people may have a different point of view than younger Chinese people.

 

I will start with some questions about dating and relationships.

 

Is it acceptable for a man and woman to live together in China without being married?

 

Describe an avaregae dating relationship in your country. 

 

How do men ask women out to date? 

 

Is your choice of boyfriend/girlfriend often pre-arranged?

 

Is it acceptable to date different people causually?

 

If the two people are interested in eachother how long do you wait to hold hands, kiss, hug, etc?

 

How important is your parents approval of your boyfriend/girlfriend?

 

What things do you consider when choosing a boyfrined/girlfriend or husband/wife?

 

What is the best age to get married?

 

What is the best age to have children?

 

What do you talk about when deciding if you want to have children?

 

Is it preferable that the wife also works or is a housewife?

 

How common is divorce?

 

How do people view a divorced woman or man in China?

 

I have other topics and questions but I will save those for later.

 

OK, hopefully we can have a fun discussion here!

One Word Posts In English

Almost all the other forums have one, why not this one?

 

The premise is simple. One person starts with a word, the next person posts a word that relates to it.

 

Logical? No one said it had to be logical. Just because I think the word English should be followed by the word "language" doesn't mean the next person after me can't post the word "Accent" instead.

 

Ready?

 

Starting word: chat

A little information about me... I live in Buffalo, NY, United States. I have a Chinese girlfriend. We met in Buffalo, NY when she was a visiting scholar at a local college. She is back in China now but she is hoping to visit again this summer. I also have Chinese friends in Buffalo that are exchange students. I am interested in Chinese culture and the differences between our countries. I love this website. I just signed up and I am already chatting with some very interesting people from China. I may have made too many friends at one time. I am having a hard time keeping up with all the chatting while working a full time job. I'll figure this out as I go along. Regardless, I'm glad that I found this website. I think it's a great place to meet people and learn languages!
