- Nu/Nv (女)
well if you are staying in china then you are quite familier with this character (seen at toilets ) this means girl.
This was our first funny incidence in Nanjing. It was our first year and our first chinese class
our chinese teacher was teaching us the pronounciations of chinese characters
(without telling the meanings) and he gave more stress on this character because
its pronounciation is a bit strange,but for us it was fun,we laughed alot.
After the class on the way back to our dormitory we were laughing and loudly imitating how the teacher was pronouncing this word.we were unaware of the meaning of this word,all the girls on the road were looking at us.we didnt knew why they are looking….. until next class when teacher told us the meaning of this word……
after it we never tried to pronounce any chinese word until we know its meaning…

Another thing to tell is you must have heard about CHINGLISH but some of my friends have invented ENGNESE….
yes its their way of speaking chinese,
one of my friend calls ice-cream as - 牛奶工作(niu nai gong zuo) because his logic is that ice-cream is made by doing work on milk.

China daily (news-paper) - 中国每天 his logic is 中国 means china and 每天 means daily
actually China daily is called as 中国日报.

These are some of everyday life experiences,which makes us laugh and makes us happy everyday.When I go back home in the holidays everybody asks me which city of China I study in (although they only know Shanghai and Beijing)
Instead of telling them directly I say like this - Bei means north and jing means capital ,Nan means south and jing means capital.You know Beijing was like north capital of China and Nanjing was like south capital of China.
This simple explaination makes people remember name of Nanjing and makes me proud to tell them that I live in Nanjing

Love you Nanjing

I love the smells. Yes every one of them, from the fruit stalls to the stinky tofu. somedays it's like an olfactory circus and everybody has a free pass. my nose shall never be bored with street food, "real" fragrances from fashion lady and the occasional unkept beggar.

I love the people. Yes every one of them, from the emo that tries so hard to look depressed with their "hello kitty" bag to the elderly woman that goes through my shopping trolley to see what i am about to purchase. Even the older business men who insists on giving you another glass/bowl of baijiu when they know full well that you have already had a bit too much.

I love the public transportation. Yes all of them, from the sardine-like buses to the grumpy drivers. The taxi drivers that try to sing along to my drunken blubberings are my favorite. And i guess nothing much can compare to trying to get into or off the bus, or the last seat for that matter.

in short, i love Nanjing. with its never ending supply of arriving and leaving foreigners. With its "traditional" china that you can buy at fu zi miao or the latest "authentic" overseas fashion from deji plaza. Every day is a mission of some sorts. who would have thought that trying to find a bath plug would be a 3 month adventure? Nanjing will never be boring. Viva Nanjing!

We arrive at the hotel and are greeted by one of the staff. He leads us off to one of the bathrooms and hands my friend what can only be described as a white wizard’s robe.

Throw in a big white staff, a pointy hat, and an elf and we’re good to go. I’m Viggo Mortensen of course.

The face has been blurred to protect the sinful. Don’t worry Anthony, God still knows what you did. You’ll notice the fake leather bound day planner in his hands that has his script in it.

If you have never gone to a Chinese wedding, you need to make more Chinese friends. Although be prepared to drink copious amounts of Baijiu. I’m a strong believer in eating McDonalds beforehand as it makes a good stomach lining that will ensure you don’t throw up on the bride, which is considered rude.
While not at all traditional, this wedding featured a game wherein the groom had to pick out his bride from a number of women dressed in bridal gowns. They had even arranged a “NA-NA” sound effect for when he guessed incorrectly (which he did).
Shortly after that, Father Anthony took the stage alongside a Chinese “priest” (we didn’t ask for his seminary school diploma) and they took turns reading what may or may not have been the same script in both Chinese and English. As Anthony was only in China for a few days, he struggled a lot with the names of the bride and groom and the poorly translated blessings but he managed to get through it.

We sat down, ate a little food, drank some wine, and Anthony got paid 400 RMB for his performance.

Note: If you’ve been around Nanjing too long, you might think you recognize the guy above. You don’t. His real name is Anthony and he’s from England. There are many bald white guys in this world.
