| Sometimes I wonder |

What life would be like for me (and what I'd look like) if I was raised in Hong Kong or mainland China... I was pointed to this interesting article http://www.wired.com/news/cul...,1284,67842,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_3. Should I consider myself lucky that I have some freedom of speech, or should I believe that everyone should have this freedom? I was poking around in a Chinese CD/DVD store last night. There was no English anywhere, and I felt really lost. I wish traditional Cantonese opera had English subtitles. Perhaps there some out there with what I'm looking for. |

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like had my dad been raised to speak Chinese, even though he's a native American. I feel lost when I am surrounded by my Chinese cousins who speak the native tongue, and all I know is my last name. I feel culturally deprived.

True, but I can never remember which dialect it is we speak :) Maybe one day you and I will be able to pseudo-converse in the native tongue?!

If it's Cantonese, we can someday use it together!

It IS Cantonese! My friends know Mandarin, no wonder I get confused :)

Apparently, Mandarin is easier to learn. I cannot understand mandarin at all although my parents seem to have the hang of it.
