Sigh, so today was Monday. Funny we went to the Chinese restaurant and we are so not able to speak the language.
Qin sounds like dropping a metal key onto the floor. Sort of a "ching" sound but quicker.
The word "yuan" which is the money in China....is a word that's almost impossible to say. First you have to take your mouth and make an oooh face. Then say oh-an...in 1 syllable.
The city we are going to is one of the hardest words to say. Xi'an sounds like Shawn or Jwan...or something like that.
So speaking Chinese is going to be a BIG challenge!
Oh, you will love this, at the end of our meal at the Chinese restaurant they always give you a fortune cookie. This is John's fortune: "Life is like a dogsled team, if you aren't the lead dog, the scenery never changes." [This picture is dedicated to all the dog butts we have to look at in life.]
