One time I was in China town NYC on Chinese New Year getting dim sum. And a troop of lion dancers came into the restaurant and danced all around. It was so awesome!

I never understood pinyin. You would think pinyin would spell Chinese words will normal phonetics. At least that way Westerners had a slight chance of getting it right!

No doubt my friend, but for me? It's the Monday evening after a super bowl party and this work day was extra slow. I'm lucky to spell my own name right now.Dave85 said:

I understood Gong Xi Fa Cia. I was just saying pinyin in general. I tried learning Mandarin. It's a very hard language to learn.

I am not familiar with pinyin either since I am from Taiwan, where people think we are dealing with the most complicated political situation against China. Chinese communist destroyed everything including traditional Chinese characters to build up a "New China" in 1949, but we Taiwan still use traditional stuff like "Zhu-Yin" (ㄅㄆㄇㄈ) instead of pinyin.
Chinese is hard to learn. So why not learn 我們是冠軍 (wo men shi guan jun) which means We Are the Champion - as one of the New Year's resolution to begin with?!

I think it is important to be able to say at least "Hello", "Thank you" and something akin to "go yourself" in as many languages as possible
