Hi there.

If you wanna give it a try on Chinese music,I will be happy to help.

Hi. You'll find some good info here on new tunes.:beer:

Hey,yeah,.Havenot got a chance to go through all the information here,but I am sure I can find many good music here.

Welcome to Music Banter, Jessica! I'm very interested in Oriental music, could you recommend me some stuff? I'm looking for some more classically based instrumentals, but I'll listen to anything really.

Welcome to MB!

Hey,I will make a list for you later after I finish my work=)

Cannot remember =( I listen to almost all types of music````:band:

Welcome to musicbanter.

Hahaha, stop being so harsh Freebase ;).
I'd say 'there's still a lot to learn', but you at least have RHCP in there :).
And you seem nice, so it shouldn't be a problem that your taste in music sort of... differs from the average here.

hallo Jess

I know a coupla Mongolians, actually

met them on a holiday

Haha,I know~~~
The reason why I started to listen to English music is because I wanted to practise English,you know,music is not the original intention in fact.But the more types music I try,the more I like them.Anyway,since those artists exist,there should be someone to make them exist,I am one of them=)

Speaking of music that I listen to,it is really chaotic,and the the taste of music is kind of weird,hehe~~but as long as they make me feel right,I just donot care that much=)

That's cool.There are a lot of Mongolians here in Huhhot too.

In that case, be pepared to get to know a lot of new music.
By the way, compared to most of the the other Chinese people that arrived here since I've arrived, your English is really good. You can tell it isn't your primary language but it's very understandable indeed :)

Haha, I'm not sure if I'm grateful for that :D
But I guess you're right.

wha? wha? wha?

you're not Mongolian

I have a deep-seated fear of the Mainland Chinese

Nope,I am not Mongolian,I am from China=)

Hehe,why is that?Am I scary?=p

Inner Mongolia is part of China,north China.Huhhot is the capital of Inner Mongolia=)

Thanks for your nice words=) And I am ready for the music storm~~Yeah~~

a lot of Mainland Chinese here are fraudsters and conmen/women

a lot of horror stories I heard from friends and relatives visiting Mainland China as well

nothing wrong with any of those cept the one I bolded

Bowling for Soup is some sort of joke band but I don't find them funny at all, they make me puke

There are a lot of fraudsters in China which is really bad and means the whole people's quality needs to be improved.

About Bowling for soup,Hah,my friends said exactly the same as you did!!Ignore how they look like,I think their music is okay=p

i had one album - i threw it away.....

Alright, so I was typing in a search on Google to look for another Mongolian hoarde picture to amuse myself with because I am childish and stupid, when Google showed me this. Explain.

it was probably the basis for those huge desert worms in Dune

never seen that```and hope I will never see it```

the cinema version is crap

i'm still waiting for the four hour director's cut

I see what this is. You're a Chinese spy trying to lure innocent American dumbasses to Mongolia to get eaten by your giant evil sandworms. Well this is one American dumbass who sees through your evil plot! DON'T BELIEVE HER LIES!

Yeah,how did u know that?Are you a mind reader too?

No. The garden gnomes tell me everything.

Seems that the garden gnomes betraied me,need to get rid of them asap=p

P.S we should make a movie named <The Chronicles of Narnia 6>:D

^^the children all died in the last book

unless you wanna write one about them in heaven

Ah,they did???

Too Bad.We can write another one to make them reborn~~~

Hey there, I'm new here too lol. I'm from Singapore! (Ppl ALWAYS think that SG is located in China fr sum reason....) Located in South-East Asia. I've been to China too, which part of China you located in?

Welcome to MB, Jessica!

Your country has such a fascinating history and society. I've always been impressed by the early technological advances and artistic creativity of China.

I visited Beijing, Guilin (beautiful landscape), and Hong Kong around 10 years ago, and had a wonderful and interesting two-week stay. I remember watching a traditional Chinese opera. One of my close friends at the time was from China and she sent me there with a few phrases to help me get by, such as when ordering food since I'm vegetarian. The only phrase I remember is this: "Wo chi su" (I am vegetarian). Did I say it correctly? ;)

GAA! :( I didn't know this either, Duce.

Hey man, spoiler tags exist for a reason!!

Haha,one of my dream is to study there~~~=)
I understand,just like when I said Inner Mongolia people thought I am from Mongolia~~=)

I live in Inner Mongolia currently,and I stayed in Beijing for 2 years and my hometown is Hebei````hope this is not confusing```

Thanks~~And you said it perfectly=)
You make me jealous,cuz I havnot got a chance to visit Guilin yet!=( Everybody told me that I need to visit there at least once before I die```

i thought it was common knowledge, srry

allo, so arr where in singapore you from arr? aisay arr, hard to find people so near me here arr, I in Kuala Lumpur

This is exactly what my Chinese friend said!

Guilin *is* beautiful ...

http://www.china-family-adventure.co...guilin-002.jpg

...but in addition to the beauty I remember some of the awkward feelings of being a tourist. For example, when we saw rice paddies and people working in them with water buffalo under such mountains, we foolishly thought we'd take a picture...which isn't polite to the people who were working there, since they shouldn't be turned into a spectacle. This resulted in an unfortunate situation involving our Chinese tour guide struggling to close the minivan door after the farmers streamed toward the minivan, hoping for money and even trying to grab a seat cover. I felt bad about our naivety resulting in countryman wrangling with countryman.

I realized then what I should have realized before: never take pictures of people without their permission.

you should at least pay them something first

that'd solve a lot of things

They were far out in the fields when we stopped, you see, to take the picture. By the time a horde formed around us, we were afraid to get our money out. The horde included many farmers who hadn't been in the picture.

It is a tricky issue always, regardless where one lives, how to handle it when strangers ask for money. I remember quite a few awkward situations in Boston, for example, when homeless men would ask me for money. (Jessica, I just don't want you to think this issue is limited to China.)

the reason I said this is that the Chinese villagers are pretty money-minded

for instance, if I could go back to my ancestral village, Ankui in the Fuchien district, if I said I was their relative, they'd be asking ang pao "red packet" money from me....

Isn't it one of the only city-states in the world?
