I started learning Cantonese for my now ex-girlfriend and wish to continue. I'm also interested in expanding my Spanish since I studied it so much at school. I am a 24 yr. old guy living in the southern DC suburbs. I like to chat about movies, music, religion, and more. I'm new to this whole thing, and I really hope to find some interesting people here.

    I see what you mean, Claire. I was more curious about what people who have been raised in either Western or Eastern countries thought about attitudes and customs of persons from the other.

    What is the biggest difference between American and Chinese culture? This is an opinion question. I want to see what people find to be the most striking to them.

    Chinaman isn't offensive, is it? It just means man from China, right?

    Something like this depends largely on the context in which it was said. Or to say it more simply, it depends on when and where it was said.

    It's means more than just crazy. It usually applies to someone who has strange or unpredictable behaviour. You could use it when someone has had too much caffeine. For example: "Coffee makes you spazzy" I think it comes from spastic, but is a sort of slang modification. It usually does not carry the same degree of severity as "crazy" or "mad".

    Life for me now Right now I am living at my family home and looking for work. I graduated from school right as the economy took a nose dive, and have had trouble finding a good job. Luckily there is plenty of work around Washington DC right now thanks to government contracts in the area. Lately I have been trying to figure out exactly what it is that I want to do for a while. Hopefully I will find something good very soon.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself About me: I come from a very conservative Christian family on the east coast. I myself am not so conservative as my family but I find more and more that it is good to establish where one comes from in order to ascertain differences between the two of you. I like sports, movies, good chatter, great food, and well I'm sure I'll find more to place here later. Why I'm learning Cantonese: Well it all started as a gift to my now ex-girlfriend. I made it through a couple teach yourself tapes and I wish to continue learning. I'm continuing partly because of all the attention focussed on China now. It's almost eerie to see the amount of excitement over China these days. Many of my friends are taking Mandarin, some are studying about Chinese history or even global policy. Some sort of hunch tells me it might be worth my while to learn as much of the language as I can. Also, I can watch Chinese movies- as most are in Cantonese. Shaolin Soccer anyone?
