You are very lucky with the translation software, we don`t have Chinese font`s installed so all we see are small square boxes.
At least you can try English, I have no idea where to start with Mandarin !
I`ll write more later and give you guys a chance to practice.

some Chinese letters are easy to understand.
like:
one-->一
two-->二
three-->三
quite easy, right?
then the next one:
four-->四
that's the trouble~~~

That`s very kind to try to teach but all I see is
one ---> Then a little box
two----> then the same little box

i can explain that:
one---one line,like'-'
two----two parrell lines
three----three parrell lines
but four------much too complex to Xplain~~~

Thankyou Ding Cong for that now I can write 1 2 3
I don`t suppose it will help much if I visit China but it`s a start.
I`ll put a font in later and see what happens, all your post`s should hopefully come alive with Chinese symbols.
Back to work.....

When I use google,I can see the Korean and Janpanese,but I can not read them.
A friend of mine said when he visited the Janpanese forum,he found there were many boxes only,too.

Yes but this is good though as it gives you all a chance to practice your English.
Chinese language looks so hard to us as it looks like art, pictures that cannot be written with a biro.
A lot of tattoo`s (body art) are Chinese writing as people are very fond of the artistic nature and think it has supernatural powers.
Here are some

Chinese dragons are also very popular

Those characters are henna tattoo`s that are temporary they come on the sheet like that.
Is it that there are bad words there ? It has been the case of people having Chinese character tattoo`s here only to find out later the tattoo is something abusive. Rarely do they find out as only the Chinese know and smile silently to themselves.
