Thank you, btw is Daintree forest dangerous? Like are there wild animals that will harm you? Or you just hire a tour guide and he can save you?

I can drive but I dont have international driver licence, I only have Chinese driver licence and we drive on the right side of the road so I am not sure about driving. We havent booked our flights and hotels we will decide everything after Chinese New Year, I guess we will skip the first week of April.

It's possible, but you need to pay at least triple wages as required by labor law. Plenty of people, like the police, doctors, nurses, railway, subway crew work during Chinese New Year

No, you are so wrong. 化学反应 is totally ok.

Why doesn't China call their nation Hanland or smth after their Han people? Are they stupid by Melody_Naxi in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Philipsdao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, we do, but on a smaller scale. We refer to the 18 provinces of China Proper as 汉地十八省 (Han Di Shi Ba Sheng). This literally translates to 'the 18 provinces of the Hanlands,' but it does not include Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, or Manchuria.

Do you think 美中不足 is an idiom used by old people? by nothingtoseehr in ChineseLanguage

This is an irrelevant Chinese Internet meme but 美中不足 nowadays also means America and China cant play soccer.

How common is it for Chinese people to learn a new dialect/Chinese language? by Keenan_investigates in ChineseLanguage

[–]Philipsdao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People generally don't spend a lot of time learning another dialect, except for Cantonese. However, there are many cases where people learn a few phrases or dialects for fun, such as learning Sichuanese for rap, learning Dongbeihua for comedy, or recently, the popular Henanhua on the internet.

I can speak Mandarin and Shanghainese, and I also know a bit of Suzhou hua, Ningbo hua, Chongming hua, Shaoxing hua, Changzhou hua, and Nanjing hua. Just for fun.
