Perhaps. But as mentioned in my first comment to your blog, that was a long time ago. I came to Taiwan to study in January of '79 with a B.A. in Chinese from the UofOR in Eugene (I'm from Portland). Things happen, they happened, and I now call this little island home, I guess.<BR/><BR/>Which part of China are you in?<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the bye, I came across your blog by clicking along on the "Next Blog" tab at the top of the page of any blogger blog one might be visiting, and it was the wedding pix of family and such that first caught my attention, and only after a bit of a perusal did I come to discover that you are in China learning the lingo. A casual way to pass the time, surfing blogger blogspot weblogs, while at work as an editing consultant at the day gig I have here when there is nothing to be busy with.<BR/><BR/>Okay, it is just past 5pm now, and I suppose that we might even be in the same time zone, yeah? I'll be boogeying off home in another hour or so. Later.<BR/><BR/>Iago AKA DouglasIago de Ottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536178873273248126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371488418137899762.post-10834721409528947382008-06-30T03:33:00.000-04:002008-06-30T03:33:00.000-04:00Why are you learning Chinese? I decided to study ...Why are you learning Chinese? I decided to study it so that I could learn how to read Tang Dynasty poetry in the original. But that was many a moon ago. I suppose that I can read that stuff now, but the reason I began to study the language and the reason I still live in a Chinese-speaking environment are not exactly the same any more.Iago de Ottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536178873273248126noreply@blogger.com
