Where To Buy Candle In Singapore

Chinese language, difficult language

After nearly two weeks in China we understand the local
as well as at the beginning. In a country in which even show the number of fingers
is complicated and accompanied by numerous rules, any verbal interaction
rather not come into play. It is true that we can
say "Good morning", "tea", "thank you" and sometimes dare to
for "goodbye", but already "yes" or "no" is limited to the nodding head
. Chinese are 'yes' sometimes they say "aaaaaa", sometimes "Tools" and
sometimes seem incomprehensible stream of words themselves. "No," as it depends
already completely on the context. Easier waving head. How, then, in August
communicate? Normally, in Polish. We are in a country where
knowledge of English is only slightly better than Polish, our native language
great August so check. We do not bother, do not stress
caller, the same effect. Do we feel at this
all misunderstood or lonely. From every side we hear
friendly smiles, which reciprocate, not being able to translate them into a long conversation
. But sometimes you need
you read (from which the platform to take the undergroung
train, bus or where he was going where we are on the map). We have ambitious plans to decipher
"bushes", some longer even recognize
, eg mountain, bus, train, but for now we use the system
connotations such as: the arrow-eight-ladder, a maze-cross-box, etc
. In these combinations there is also the concept of 'confusion', which defines
all these signs, which are so complicated
graphically that you can not easily remember them, and summon the
the right time. But somehow so they are designed
Chinese word that it is always some element of a characteristic found in August and show
direction.
Last resort is a pictorial dictionary (thank Lolkom), who saves us
antics when trying to buy soup with beef and
other critical situations.
At the end of a curiosity. In China, police officers occur in pairs, but opposed
from the Polish policemen, one in hand
always speaks English. And the road indicated, and say, in which you stand in a queue. A police officer friend
tourist.
